LeBlanc vs Galio

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

LeBlanc is a mobile burst assassin who pressures Galio with quick trades and punishes his short-range engage cooldowns.
Manage lane pressure to avoid being pushed under tower due to low waveclear, denying Galio easy short trades and roams.

Trading pattern

Use W for burst and repositioning, then threaten E root if Galio stays in range without W or E available.
Respect Galio W taunt and E knock-up by spacing out; punish if these abilities are on cooldown or missed.
Avoid engaging if W misses, as Galio can punish LeBlanc's low waveclear and lack of escape.

Danger windows

Galio is dangerous when W and E are available to lock you down in short trades.
Missing your W engage or overextending without escape can lead to hard punishment from Galio's crowd control.
When Galio's R is ready, avoid extended fights that allow him to join and turn skirmishes.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 2 as LeBlanc's early agency is low compared to Galio's medium.
Use level 2 burst with Q plus W or E to punish Galio if he steps too close or wastes Galio W or E.
Keep wave control to prevent Galio from easily roaming with R after pushing.

Power spikes

Level 2 burst with Q plus W or E is your first major power spike.
Level 6 R unlocks stronger burst combos to threaten all-ins.
Respect Galio's level 6 R for map impact and short trades; his first durability or AP utility item increases his threat in lane.

Win conditions

Use your superior mobility and burst to deny Galio short-range trades by punishing cooldowns on W and E.
Maintain medium lane pressure without losing wave control to prevent Galio's roams.
Reach level 6 and your first AP item to increase kill threat and snowball the lane before Galio scales into fights.
