Zoe vs Galio

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zoe is a high poke mage aiming to pressure Galio early and deny him a calm scaling lane.
Use your range and pick potential to avoid giving Galio short-range trades where his W and E threaten you.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by landing E sleep, then follow up with Q and R extended poke to burst him down.
Respect Galio W and E cooldowns; trade aggressively when these are down to avoid his layered CC.
Avoid committing if you miss E or R is on cooldown, as you become vulnerable to Galio's short trades.

Danger windows

When Galio's W and E are available, avoid close-range trades to prevent taunt and knock-up combos.
If Galio's R is ready and allied fights start nearby, be cautious of his follow-up and peel.
After missing E or using R poorly, you are vulnerable to Galio's punish with short trades or engage.

Early game

Start by fishing for E to set up poke and burst with Q and R angles before Galio can engage.
Avoid stepping into Galio W and E range to prevent his taunt and knock-up punishes.
Use your lane pressure to keep Galio from comfortably farming or roaming early.

Power spikes

Zoe's level 6 R unlocks extended poke angles and burst potential.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases your kill threat.
Respect Galio level 6 R for his map impact and ally protection, limiting your all-in windows.

Win conditions

Use E to pick and burst Galio from range, denying him short trades and scaling.
Control wave and use R to position for safe poke and avoid Galio's engage.
Punish Galio when his W, E, or R are on cooldown by playing aggressively to snowball lane advantage.

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