Galio vs Diana

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio's goal is to control short trades with W and E to punish Diana's all-in attempts.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Diana from freely using her Q + E burst combo.

Trading pattern

Trade briefly using Q and passive, then threaten with W taunt and E knock-up if Diana commits.
Punish Diana when Diana Q is on cooldown or missed, as she loses burst pressure without it.
Avoid extended trades if W or E are down, as Diana can exploit cooldown windows with her burst.

Danger windows

Diana is dangerous when Diana Q and Diana E are available for her burst combo.
Avoid extended trades or close-range fights when Galio's W or E are on cooldown.
Be cautious of Diana's level 6 R all-in potential in side skirmishes or river fights.

Early game

Use Q and passive to poke and keep Diana at bay before level 3 when her burst combo activates.
Hold W and E to punish Diana if she steps too close or misses Diana Q.
Push wave moderately to enable roaming with R after level 6.

Power spikes

Galio's level 6 R greatly increases his map impact and peel potential.
First durability or AP utility item boosts Galio's survivability in short trades.
Diana's level 3 Q-W-E combo and level 6 Diana R are major burst and all-in threats to respect.

Win conditions

Use W and E to control and punish Diana's short-range engages.
Push wave to create roam opportunities and impact side fights with R.
Deny Diana's burst window by punishing missed Diana Q and forcing cooldowns before she can all-in.

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