Brand vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use poke to deny Galio's engage by controlling brush and lane space for your ADC.
Keep your ADC behind the wave to safely land (W) and (E) poke before threatening (Q) stun.
Prioritize river vision to track Galio's roam and protect your ADC from his (R) follow-up.

Trading pattern

Apply Blaze with (W) or (E) then threaten (Q) stun only when your ADC can commit follow-up.
Hold poke cooldowns to bait (W) and (E) before engaging or peeling for your ADC.
Avoid extended trades if (W) or (E) are ready; reposition to maintain ADC safety.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns as they enable his engage and peel.
Avoid clustered positioning where (R) can bounce and disrupt your ADC during fights.
Watch for Galio's roam timer after pushing wave; maintain vision to protect ADC from mid and river pressure.

Early game

Win level 2 by landing (W) plus empowered (Q) stun with ADC follow-up to pressure Galio's engage.
Deny Galio brush control to limit his (W) taunt and (E) engage angles on your ADC.
Use wave crashes to create safe roam windows or force Galio to miss side fights.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W)+(Q) combo for strong poke and stun setup; contest wave with ADC.
Level 3 completes your kit, enabling full poke combos around brush control and enemy cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) bounce damage punishes grouped fights; use with confirmed ADC follow-up or for peel resets.

Win conditions

Convert poke pressure into ADC access denial and force Galio's ADC into unsafe positioning.
Use brush control and vision to secure dragon setup and prevent Galio's impactful roams.
Coordinate level 6 (R) all-ins with your ADC to punish grouped enemies and secure lane dominance.
