Galio vs Nami

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to control short trades and protect your ADC from Nami's poke and slows.
Deny Nami's bubble angles by holding brush control and positioning to block her engage.
Prioritize mid-wave states to enable roams with (R) and create pressure on side fights.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) knock-up only when your ADC can immediately follow up on slowed targets.
Hold (W) taunt to punish Nami stepping too close after she uses (W) or (E).
Avoid using (E) without a clear escape or follow-up to prevent losing your main engage tool.

Danger windows

(Q) bubble followed by empowered ADC autos creates burst windows; respect her engage range.
Her (R) can start or stop all-ins; avoid clustering to reduce its impact.
When (W) or (E) are on cooldown, Nami's poke and sustain window expands; play more cautiously.

Early game

Win level 2 by coordinating (W)+(E) with your ADC to punish Nami's weaker early engage.
Hold brush to limit Nami's bubble setups and force her to use (W) defensively.
Push wave moderately to create roam windows without exposing your ADC to Nami's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W)+(E) combo, letting you threaten short trades and disrupt Nami's poke.
Level 6 (R) significantly increases your map impact; use it to turn fights or protect your ADC.
First durability or AP utility item enhances your survivability and trade safety against magic poke.

Win conditions

Use (W) and (E) to zone Nami and create safe ADC access for trades and recalls.
Roam after pushing mid-wave and use (R) to impact side fights or secure dragon vision.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by forcing fights near your brush and river vision to limit Nami's bubble angles.
