Hwei vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and (E) CC to control brush and deny Galio's engage angle.
Protect ADC by holding (E) root or fear to counter Galio's short-range (W) taunt and (E) knock-up.
Prioritize river vision to track Galio's roam timing and prevent enemy mid or dragon plays.

Trading pattern

Hold (E) CC defensively to peel for ADC against (W) and (E) engage tools.
Use (Q) poke to pressure before Galio commits (W) and (E) cooldowns.
Deny brush access to reduce Galio's short-range engage angles and protect ADC positioning.

Danger windows

(W) taunt and (E) knock-up combo creates high-risk engage windows; hold peel and maintain spacing.
(R) arrival in side fights can turn skirmishes; maintain vision and avoid overextension.
When (W) or (E) are up and brush is uncontrolled, ADC is vulnerable to sudden engage.

Early game

Contest level 2 with ADC to secure brush control and prevent (W) taunt engages.
Use poke to keep wave neutral or slow push to your side, limiting Galio's roam opportunities.
Ward river early to spot Galio's movement and enable safe ADC follow-up.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full spellbook; use versatile (E) CC or shield to adapt to Galio's engage timing.
Level 6 (R) enables all-in or defensive resets; track (R) to avoid counter-engage.
First mage item increases poke damage; pressure wave and trades while still respecting Galio's engage cooldowns.

Win conditions

Convert poke and brush control into denied enemy ADC access and safe ADC follow-up.
Use wave state to create roam windows after crashing, placing deep river wards to track Galio's moves.
Leverage level 6 (R) for picks or defensive resets, coordinating with ADC and mid for objective setups.
