Galio vs Anivia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio must manage Anivia's strong waveclear and zoning by forcing short trades and punishing cooldowns.
Pressure the wave moderately to deny Anivia a passive farming lane and create roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around Q and passive, then threaten W and E to punish Anivia's positioning.
Avoid extended trades inside Anivia's R and respect her Q cooldown to prevent getting stunned.
If Anivia misses Q, use W and E to engage quickly and force her out of lane pressure.

Danger windows

Respect Anivia's Q stun and R zoning when both are available to avoid lethal trades.
Galio is vulnerable if W or E are down, as Anivia can safely trade or zone.
Avoid extended fights inside Anivia's R area where her slow and damage dominate.

Early game

Use Q and passive to trade briefly when Anivia's Q is down to avoid her stun.
Hold W and E to punish Anivia stepping too close or missing her Q.
Push waves to enable roams before Anivia hits level 6 and her R zoning becomes oppressive.

Power spikes

Galio's major spike is level 6 R for impactful roams and teamfight presence.
Anivia's major spike is level 6 R combined with Lost Chapter for strong waveclear and zoning.
Galio's first durability or AP utility item enhances his short trades and survivability against Anivia's magic damage.

Win conditions

Deny Anivia calm scaling by punishing missed Q and forcing short trades with W and E.
Use wave pressure to roam and impact side fights with R before Anivia controls the lane with R.
Absorb magic poke and neutralize Anivia's zoning to enable your team to siege or fight effectively.

Tip: For Galio vs Anivia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
