Swain vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (E) roots and create ADC follow-up opportunities.
Use lane space to protect your ADC from Galio's short-range engage and taunt.
Maintain river vision to track Galio's roam and prevent mid or dragon pressure.

Trading pattern

Threaten (E) pull only when your ADC can immediately follow up for burst trades.
Hold (R) for peel or extended fights when Galio commits with (W) taunt or (E) knock-up.
Avoid engaging before level 6 without health advantage or ADC readiness to prevent counter-engage.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns; avoid stepping too close without peel ready.
Enemy ADC follow-up after Galio's engage can punish poor positioning; keep ADC safe behind you.
Watch for (R) roam timing; ensure wave crash and vision deny his map impact.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by landing (E) root with ADC follow-up for early pressure.
Deny Galio brush control to reduce his engage angles and protect your ADC.
Coordinate wave crash with ADC to enable safe roams or vision setup around river.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) pull trades; use this window to force short skirmishes with ADC.
Level 3 adds long-range (W) poke and vision; leverage brush control to land skillshots.
Level 6 (R) turns you into a drain tank; commit to all-ins when ADC can follow and river vision is secured.

Win conditions

Convert (E) roots into ADC burst kills by controlling brush and timing engages.
Deny enemy ADC positioning with zone control and force Galio to waste (W) and (E) defensively.
Use (R) to sustain through all-ins and protect your ADC during dragon setups or river fights.

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