Lucian vs Galio

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 power spike to contest trades before Galio stabilizes.
Avoid extended fights where Galio's taunt and knock-up punish your short range.
Prioritize quick burst trades with support setup to deny Galio free wave control.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively after Galio uses (W) or (E) as these cooldowns enable his engage.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Galio standing behind wave for CS.
Avoid dashing forward without support or cooldown advantage to prevent taunt or knock-up combos.

Danger windows

Respect (W) taunt and (E) knock-up cooldowns; avoid stepping too close.
Avoid engaging when (R) is available for map impact and follow-up.
Beware of extended trades where Galio can peel or counter-engage with CC.

Early game

Contest level 2 with support to force Galio off the wave before his engage cooldowns.
Thin the wave to keep it small, enabling safe (E) dash trades without minion aggro.
Reset after pushing to deny Galio roam windows and maintain lane pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 spike allows strong burst trades with (Q)+(W) and (E) repositioning.
First marksman item completed boosts burst damage, forcing Galio to respect trades.
Level 6 (R) enables finishing off targets pushed out by your poke or support engages.

Win conditions

Use early burst trades to force Galio recalls and deny his roam opportunities.
Crash waves before all-ins to minimize minion damage during your short-range trades.
Coordinate with support to capitalize on cooldown windows and secure kills before Galio scales.

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