Galio vs Fizz

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio is a medium pressure mid lane mage who thrives on punishing Fizz's short trades with his W and E crowd control.
Focus on denying Fizz safe short trades by controlling wave state and preparing to engage when he steps too close to your W range.

Trading pattern

Take short trades using Q and passive damage, holding W and E to punish Fizz's melee engages.
Respect Fizz's Fizz E dodge and avoid committing if it is available; punish cooldown windows after he uses it.
Avoid extended trades without W and E ready, as Fizz can burst you down with his combo and mobility.

Danger windows

Fizz is most dangerous post-level 3 when he can engage with Fizz Q+W and dodge with Fizz E.
Fizz's level 6 R creates a strong all-in threat; avoid extended trades when it is available.
Missing W or E greatly reduces your ability to punish Fizz's engages, increasing danger during trades.

Early game

Use early levels to keep Fizz at bay with Q poke and your passive shield, avoiding extended trades before level 3.
Punish Fizz if he uses Fizz E recklessly by engaging with W taunt and E knock-up.
Maintain a neutral or pushed wave to enable roams and prevent Fizz from safely farming up to level 6 burst.

Power spikes

Galio's major spikes are level 6 R for impactful map plays and first durability/AP utility item for safer trades.
Respect Fizz's level 3 spike when he unlocks his Q+W+E trade pattern and level 6 R for kill threat.
Galio's early durability and CC allow him to survive Fizz's burst if timed well.

Win conditions

Use W and E to control short trades and force Fizz to farm under pressure, denying his kill windows.
Shove or maintain a mid wave state that allows early roams with R to impact side lanes and relieve pressure.
Survive early levels without giving kills, then leverage your CC and durability to turn fights with R in skirmishes.
