Playing as Milio

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Drop your campfire by your carry

    Cast Cozy Campfire (W) near your carry before a trade: the hearth follows them, gives them attack range and health over time, and applies Fired Up! (passive).

  2. Protect your carry with your E

    Stay behind your carry and protect them with Warm Hugs (E): its two charges stack on the same target, shield and move speed included.

  3. Kick back whoever engages

    Aim Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) at whoever engages: it knocks back the first enemy hit, then explodes behind them and slows nearby enemies.

  4. Save your R for their engage

    Save Breath of Life (R) for the enemy engage: it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from nearby allies, heals them and gives them tenacity.

Playing against Galio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after Justice Punch (E): it's his only dash, on an 11 to 7 second cooldown.

  2. 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.

  3. Leave his taunt area

    Leave the area while he charges Shield of Durand (W): the longer he charges, the longer and wider the taunt.

  4. 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.
