Tips to maximize your impact

Mark, then two dashes
Hit with Crescent Strike (Q) before Lunar Rush (E): on a target marked with Moonlight, the dash has no cooldown and you can recast it right away.
Weave autos between your spells
Weave autos between your spells: after each ability, Moonsilver Blade (passive) boosts your attack speed for 5 seconds, and your third hit cleaves nearby enemies.
Shield before you engage
Cast Pale Cascade (W) before you engage: you gain a shield, then a second one when the last sphere explodes.
Pull their whole team in
Cast Moonfall (R) in the middle of their team: it pulls in and slows nearby enemies, and hits harder for each champion pulled after the first.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Trade after his E
Take a trade after Justice Punch (E): it's his only dash, on an 11 to 7 second cooldown.
Lean on physical damage
If you deal physical damage, lean on it in trades: the passive shield of Shield of Durand (W) only absorbs magic damage.
Leave his taunt area
Leave the area while he charges Shield of Durand (W): the longer he charges, the longer and wider the taunt.
Check where he is before a dive
Before diving one of his allies, check where Galio is: Hero's Entrance (R) flies him in from long range to an allied champion, and his landing is a knock-up.
