Galio vs Yone

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio should use his medium early agency and lane pressure to deny Yone's safe scaling and force short trades with W and E.
Focus on punishing Yone's reliance on E for trades by holding W taunt and E knock-up to disrupt his engage attempts.

Trading pattern

Initiate short trades by landing W taunt when Yone steps in to use E and Q combo.
Punish Yone's E usage by interrupting or disengaging with E knock-up.
Avoid trading when W or E are on cooldown, as Yone can kite and punish Galio then.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Yone's E is available, as it enables his knock-up and snapback for extended trades.
Respect Yone's R timing, which can turn fights with displacement and knock-up.
Avoid committing when W or E are down, as Galio loses key crowd control and defense.

Early game

Use Q and passive to control the wave and force Yone to approach within W and E range for short trades.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 since Yone's early all-in is weak without his full combo.
Prepare to roam or assist side fights after pushing to leverage Galio's R impact.

Power spikes

Galio's level 6 R significantly increases his map impact and teamfight presence.
Galio's first durability or AP utility item enhances his short trade safety and peel potential.
Respect Yone's level 3 power spike when he unlocks his full Q-W-E combo and shield, increasing his burst and sustain.

Win conditions

Use W and E to control short trades and force Yone into unfavorable engagements.
Push waves to create roam opportunities and use R to join and turn side fights.
Deny Yone a calm scaling lane by punishing his E cooldown and forcing him into risky trades.

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