Bard vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (Q) wall stuns and create pick windows for your ADC follow-up.
Prioritize crashing waves before roaming to avoid exposing your ADC to Galio's engage.
Maintain river vision to track Galio's roam timer and protect mid priority.

Trading pattern

Trade around (Q) wall stuns from brush, ensuring ADC is ready to follow up immediately.
Hold (W) to sustain your ADC through Galio's short-range (W) and (E) trades.
Avoid roaming when the wave is frozen or your ADC is vulnerable to Galio's engage.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns as they enable his all-in threat.
Beware of (R) follow-up timing on enemy engages or roams, which can punish your ADC.
Avoid roaming without wave crash or vision, as Galio can punish your ADC with short-range CC.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with (Q)+(W) trades to secure early ADC safety and lane priority.
Deny Galio brush control to limit his (W) taunt engage angles on your ADC.
Crash the wave after level 3 to open safe roam windows with (E) and mid pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(W) combo, enabling stronger poke and ADC protection.
Level 3 grants (E) for safe roams and unusual angles to create numbers advantages.
Level 6 (R) allows you to isolate targets or stall Galio's engage for your ADC's follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stuns into ADC access denial and pick setups.
Use wave crashes to create roam windows, applying mid pressure and securing river vision.
Leverage (R) to isolate targets or stall dives, enabling safe objective setups and teamfight entries.

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