Playing as Galio

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Land your tornado during the taunt

    Engage with Justice Punch (E), release Shield of Durand (W), then place Winds of War (Q) during the taunt: the tornado deals damage based on max health.

  2. Recharge your shield before a trade

    Against a magic-damage opponent, don't take free hits before a trade: after a few seconds without taking damage, Shield of Durand (W) gives you a magic shield.

  3. Charge your taunt

    Charge Shield of Durand (W) before releasing it, after a Flash if needed: a longer charge means a longer taunt, more damage and a wider area.

  4. Fly into fights

    Watch the map and join fights with Hero's Entrance (R): your allies in the area get a magic shield, and your landing knocks enemies into the air.

Playing against LeBlanc

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Break her chain

    As soon as Ethereal Chains (E) tethers you, move away from her: if you stay chained for 1.5 seconds, you're rooted and take extra damage.

  2. Trade after her Distortion

    Trade while Distortion (W) is on cooldown: it's her dash both to get in and to get out, and it comes back in 15 to 10 seconds.

  3. Save your protection for her burst

    If you have a shield or a heal, save it for her combo: Sigil of Malice (Q) detonates as soon as another spell hits you, and all her damage lands at once.

  4. Aim at her return point

    If you have CC, aim at the starting point of her Distortion (W): within 4 seconds, she can return there by recasting the spell.

  5. Don't hit the wrong LeBlanc

    When she drops below 40% health, find the real LeBlanc before hitting: Mirror Image (passive) makes her invisible for 1 second and leaves a copy that deals no damage.
