Taliyah vs Galio

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Taliyah controls mid with poke and punishes Galio's short-range engages by spacing around her E and W.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Galio safe short trades and force him to respect your poke and displacement.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and only commit W and E when Galio walks into your threat zone or uses Galio E aggressively.
Punish Galio if he wastes Galio E or Galio W by landing W displacement into E zone.
Avoid trading when W and E are down to prevent Galio's short-range burst and crowd control.

Danger windows

Galio's Galio W and Galio E combo is a high-threat window; avoid clustering to reduce taunt and knock-up risk.
When W and E are down, Taliyah is vulnerable to Galio's short trades and engage attempts.
Galio R arrival in side fights or river skirmishes can turn fights; be cautious pushing without vision.

Early game

Use Q to poke Galio and keep him from stepping into W and E range early.
Hold W and E to punish Galio's attempts to engage with Galio W or Galio E.
Avoid extended trades if Galio's W and E are available to prevent getting taunted or knocked up.

Power spikes

Level 6 R enables Taliyah to roam and create map pressure, limiting Galio's roam impact.
First completed mage item increases Q poke damage and wave control against Galio.
Respect Galio's level 6 Galio R for potential map-wide impact and follow-up engages.

Win conditions

Control mid wave with Q poke and punish Galio's forward movement with W and E.
Push wave safely to create roam opportunities with R and pressure side lanes or river.
Deny Galio short trades by spacing around his crowd control and punishing cooldowns to prevent his lane dominance.

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