Naafiri vs Galio

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri aims to chip Galio with Q poke and punish when his W and E are down.
Maintain medium lane pressure to avoid giving Galio safe short trades and roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Start trades with Q to apply bleed, then commit with W and E only if Galio's W and E are on cooldown.
Avoid engaging when Galio's W taunt or E knock-up are available to interrupt or punish your dash.
Use R to enhance chase and secure kills on isolated or low-health Galio after poke damage.

Danger windows

Galio is dangerous when W and E are available, enabling layered crowd control.
Avoid committing W when Galio's W taunt or E knock-up can interrupt or punish.
Be cautious when Galio's R is ready, as it can turn skirmishes or protect allies.

Early game

Use Q to poke Galio before he can engage with W or E.
Avoid committing W until Galio's taunt and knock-up cooldowns are spent.
Keep the wave in a state that prevents Galio from safely pushing and roaming.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R significantly increases her all-in threat and chase potential.
First lethality item completion boosts Q poke and burst damage.
Respect Galio's level 6 R for its knock-up and ally shield that can turn fights.

Win conditions

Win by landing consistent Q poke to lower Galio's health before committing.
Use R-enhanced all-ins to punish Galio when his crowd control cooldowns are down.
Deny Galio safe short trades and roam impact by maintaining lane pressure and wave control.

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