Galio vs Yasuo

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio is a medium-pressure mid lane mage who thrives by forcing Yasuo into short-range trades with W and E.
Focus on denying Yasuo a passive lane by controlling wave states and punishing his reliance on minions for mobility.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using Q and passive, then punish Yasuo if he steps into W taunt or predictable E dashes.
Respect Yasuo's Yasuo W cooldown; engage when his Yasuo W is down to land Q and E effectively.
Avoid chasing Yasuo through minions since his E grants high mobility and can evade your engage.

Danger windows

Yasuo is dangerous when his second Yasuo Q tornado knockup and Yasuo R are available for all-ins.
When Yasuo's Yasuo W is up, avoid committing as it blocks key projectiles.
Missing W or E significantly weakens Galio's defense and engage, so play cautiously during these cooldowns.

Early game

Use Q and passive to poke while holding W and E to punish Yasuo's dashes and close-range engages.
Avoid extended trades without W and E ready to prevent Yasuo from exploiting his mobility and damage.
Push or maintain a neutral wave to enable roams and control river fights with R.

Power spikes

Galio's level 6 R greatly increases map impact and skirmish potential.
First durability or AP utility item enhances Galio's survivability and trade safety.
Yasuo's level 2 Q plus E mobility spike demands caution before Galio reaches 6.

Win conditions

Use W and E to control short trades and punish Yasuo's mobility reliance.
Push or maintain wave control to enable impactful roams and teamfight participation with R.
Deny Yasuo safe scaling by forcing fights around your crowd control and punishing cooldown windows.

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