Diana vs Galio

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a medium early agency AP diver who wants to pressure Galio with her Q + E + W burst combo to deny his short-range trades.
Manage lane pressure to avoid giving Galio a passive lane where he can safely farm and roam with R.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing Q and immediately using E to reset and maximize burst.
Punish Galio when he misses Galio E or Galio W to avoid his crowd control.
Avoid predictable all-ins that can be interrupted by Galio's Galio E knock-up or Galio W taunt.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Galio's Galio W and Galio E are available as they enable layered crowd control.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins when E is on cooldown since Diana loses pressure.
Track Galio R availability to anticipate his impact in side fights or roams.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to trade aggressively with Q + E + W combo when electrocute is up.
Avoid committing to trades if E is on cooldown to prevent losing pressure.
Respect Galio's W and E cooldowns; trade more freely when they are down.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Diana level 3 unlocks Q-W-E burst and shield; level 6 R enhances all-in threat; first AP skirmish item boosts damage.
Respect Galio's level 6 Galio R for map impact and his first durability or AP utility item for survivability.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing Q + E + W burst combos when electrocute is up to snowball.
Deny Galio's scaling by forcing short trades and punishing cooldowns to prevent safe farming.
Use level 6 R to all-in when Galio's key defensive cooldowns are down or after baiting Galio's crowd control.

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