Galio vs Azir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio aims to neutralize Azir's poke by forcing short trades with W and E to prevent him from farming safely.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Azir a calm scaling window and enable roams with R.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts around Q and passive, then punish Azir's forward moves with W taunt and E knock-up.
Avoid extended fights when Azir has soldiers placed well or Azir R is available.
Capitalize on cooldowns: Azir E and R down means safer engage windows for W and E.

Danger windows

Azir with soldiers positioned and Azir R ready can zone and displace Galio, making engages risky.
If Galio's W or E are down, Azir can safely poke or force disengages.
Avoid committing when Azir's Azir E is available for reposition or escape.

Early game

Use Q and passive to trade briefly when Azir mispositions near soldiers.
Hold W and E to punish Azir if he uses Azir E aggressively or steps too close.
Push the wave to create roam opportunities before Azir hits major item spikes.

Power spikes

Galio level 6 R significantly increases map impact and teamfight presence.
Galio's first durability or AP utility item boosts his short trade safety.
Respect Azir level 6 R and first completed mage DPS item as key defensive and damage spikes.

Win conditions

Use W and E to punish Azir's forward steps and deny safe farming.
Push waves to enable roams and impact side fights with R.
Absorb Azir's magic poke and force short trades to disrupt his scaling and control the lane tempo.

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