Galio vs Vex

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Galio is a medium agency mid who wants to absorb Vex's magic poke and punish her short-range approach with W and E.
Pressure Vex early to deny her passive fear from controlling trades and prevent her from freely using R resets.

Trading pattern

Take short trades using Q and passive, then punish Vex's fear cooldown with W taunt and E knock-up.
Avoid extended trades if W or E are down as Vex can abuse her burst and fear.
Use wave pressure to force Vex to play safe and limit her passive fear uptime.

Danger windows

Vex is dangerous when her passive fear is up and R is available for all-ins.
Avoid extended trades when W and E are down as Vex can punish your lack of crowd control.
Be cautious if your team cannot follow your R roam; prioritize wave control and ping danger.

Early game

Use Q and passive to trade when Vex's passive fear is down or baited.
Hold W and E to punish Vex if she steps too close to proc fear.
Push or maintain a neutral wave to enable roams and avoid Vex's high early lane pressure.

Power spikes

Respect Vex's level 6 R for engage and reset potential.
Galio's level 6 R increases map impact and peel, turning fights around.
First durability or AP utility item enhances Galio's short trades and survivability against Vex's burst.

Win conditions

Deny Vex's passive fear by forcing her to miss it or bait it out, then punish with W and E.
Use wave control to create roam opportunities and impact side fights with R.
Absorb Vex's magic poke and force short-range trades where Galio's CC and durability excel.

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