Corki vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming safely and using (Q) poke before level 6 to avoid Galio's short-range engage.
Manage wave to prevent Galio from stepping into (W) and (E) range for taunt and knock-up trades.
Post-6, use (R) rockets to pressure Galio and control mid-game fights around objectives.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and autos for quick poke trades, preserving (W) for escapes against (W) and (E).
After level 6, rely on (R) rockets to soften Galio before longer trades or recalls.
Step forward to punish Galio when his (W) or (E) are on cooldown, forcing him off the wave.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns; avoid fighting when both are available.
Avoid using (W) forward without vision of Galio's cooldowns to prevent easy all-ins.
When (R) is ready, limit aggressive plays to reduce risk of his impactful roam or fight join.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting while poking with (Q) and autos to chip Galio before his engage cooldowns reset.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 since (W) and (E) punish overcommitment.
Hold (W) for repositioning, not forward engages, to reduce vulnerability to Galio's crowd control.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) rockets, shifting lane pressure to sustained poke; track (R) availability closely.
First completed damage item boosts poke damage significantly; increase aggression on wave and trades.
Mid-game item spikes enhance poke threat; force Galio to respect your range and avoid short trades.

Win conditions

Secure CS safely into item spikes, then leverage (R) poke to control Galio's recalls and river setups.
Punish Galio's short-range trades by stepping up when his (W) and (E) are down.
Maintain lane stability to deny Galio roam opportunities and influence mid-game objectives with poke.
