Galio vs Annie

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio thrives by forcing Annie into short-range trades where W and E punish her approach.
Control the wave to deny Annie safe farming and reduce her chance to stack passive for burst.

Trading pattern

Trade briefly using Q and passive, then threaten with W taunt and E knock-up if Annie steps too close.
Respect Annie's stun from passive and Annie R; avoid committing when these are up.
Punish Annie's mana weakness by forcing her to push with Annie W and then engage short trades.

Danger windows

Respect Annie's passive stun and Annie R for burst all-ins, especially if W and E are on cooldown.
Avoid extended trades when Annie's stun is stacked or R is available.
Be cautious if Annie forces you to lose wave control and roams with R; hard push and punish her roam.

Early game

Use Q and passive to poke and pressure Annie early before she can safely proc her stun.
Hold W and E to punish Annie when she tries to engage with Annie Q + Annie W combo.
Avoid extended trades if W or E are down to reduce burst risk.

Power spikes

Galio's level 6 R greatly increases his map impact and skirmish threat.
Galio's first durability or AP item improves his survivability and trade safety.
Annie's level 6 R is a major burst and pick threat to respect.

Win conditions

Win lane by denying Annie calm scaling through short trades and wave pressure.
Use W and E to punish Annie's approach and force her out of lane.
Impact side fights with R to protect allies and punish Annie's roams or overextensions.

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