Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio aims to absorb Taliyah's magic poke and force short-range trades using W and E.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Taliyah safe scaling and create roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around Q, passive, W taunt, and E knock-up when Taliyah walks into range.
Respect Taliyah's E zone to avoid getting slowed and displaced by W.
Punish Taliyah when W or E are on cooldown by engaging with W and E for quick CC bursts.

Danger windows

Be cautious when W and E are down, as Taliyah can trade more freely.
Avoid extended trades when Taliyah's W and E are ready to punish dashes or forward movement.
If Taliyah pushes and roams, hard push the wave to punish or take plates.

Early game

Use Q and passive to manage wave and punish Taliyah stepping too close for W or E.

First durability or AP utility item enhances Galio's survivability in trades.
