Vex vs Galio

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a burst mage who must use her passive fear to control Galio's short-range engage attempts.
Pressure Galio early to deny him safe short trades and prevent him from roaming effectively.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing passive fear to proc Electrocute and follow up with Q and E for burst.
Respect Galio W and E cooldowns; trade aggressively when these are down to avoid his taunt and knock-up.
Use W shield to absorb poke and survive his short trades, then counterattack when Galio disengages.

Danger windows

When Galio's W and E are available, avoid extended trades to prevent taunt and knock-up combos.
If Vex fails to land her fear, she is vulnerable to Galio's all-in; play cautiously until R is up.
Galio's R presence in side fights can create danger; hard push and ping if he leaves lane to roam.

Early game

Use Q and passive fear to punish Galio when he steps close for short trades.
Avoid extended fights without R as Vex is immobile and vulnerable to Galio's W and E combo.
Keep wave control to limit Galio's roam opportunities after level 6.

Power spikes

Vex's level 6 R is a major spike for engage and reset potential.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases Vex's kill threat.
Galio's level 6 R increases his map impact and short trade threat; respect this timing.

Win conditions

Use passive fear to win early trades and force Galio to play defensively.
Punish Galio when his W or E are on cooldown by stepping forward for burst trades.
Control wave and roam timing to deny Galio's map impact and snowball lane advantage.

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