Pyke vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and (W) stealth to threaten hooks and create pick pressure on Galio's short engage range.
Prioritize denying (W) and (E) engage angles to protect your ADC from his layered crowd control.
Leverage Pyke's roam potential after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure river vision against Galio's roams.

Trading pattern

Engage with (Q) from brush or fog, then chain (E) to lock down targets for ADC burst.
Hold engage cooldowns to punish Galio's missed (E) knock-up or (W) taunt cooldowns.
Deny Galio brush control to limit his short-range engage and peel angles for his ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns as they enable his engage and peel.
Avoid overextending when Galio's ultimate (R) is available for map-wide follow-up or counter-engage.
Watch for Galio shoving waves to roam first and threaten river control or mid skirmishes.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with your ADC to force Galio back before he gains (W) and (E) threat.
Control brush to hide your (Q) hook angle and force Galio to play cautiously near his ADC.
Crash waves quickly after pushing to open roam windows while your ADC stays safe.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q) hook plus (E) stun combo, increasing kill pressure in bot lane.
Level 3 grants full kit including (W) stealth, enabling safer engages and stronger roam threats.
Level 6 execute resets amplify all-in threat and roaming impact, especially with confirmed ADC follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert lane pressure into denied Galio ADC access by hooking and bursting targets near brush.
Roam aggressively after wave crashes to establish river vision and punish Galio's mid or dragon rotations.
Use level 6 execute resets to snowball fights and secure dragon control with your ADC follow-up.
