Tristana into Galiomedium

Overview

Use level 2 all-in power spike with support follow-up to punish Galio's short-range engage cooldowns.
Crash waves to pressure turret plates, forcing Galio to lose CS or expend defensively.
Avoid passive wave pushes that expose you to taunt and knock-up engages.

Trade when and are on cooldown to avoid his layered crowd control.
Use burst stacked during committed trades and jump only with support follow-up or reset confidence.
Punish Galio if he wastes engage by stepping up to trade aggressively before his cooldown returns.

Respect taunt and knock-up combo when both are available; avoid close trades then.
Beware of Galio's level 6 roam potential; track his ultimate cooldown to avoid losing side fights.
Avoid jumping forward without support follow-up, especially if enemy disengage is ready or wave is large.

Push early waves to hit level 2 before Galio and threaten all-ins with jump plus burst.
Respect taunt range; avoid standing too close without support peel.
Reset after winning trades to convert stacks into turret damage and deny Galio farm.

Level 2 unlocks jump and burst for sudden all-ins; push to reach it first.
First completed marksman item amplifies all-in burst and turret pressure; convert recalls into plates.
Late-game range scaling lets you safely poke and reset fights, avoiding Galio's short-range threats.

Force level 2 or 3 all-ins with support to snowball lane priority and turret plates.
Use stacks to pressure turret after winning trades or enemy recalls, denying Galio farm.
