How to play it

✓

Zhonya his W

His W in fights needs a Zhonya or some other escape: sit in it and you die.

✓

Play when R is down

His R is fairly high cooldown: when it's gone, look to make a play on someone other than him.

✓

Don't waste energy

He stepbacks with E to dodge your Q: if he does, he's already won the trade, so don't burn energy chasing.

✕

Never dive Galio solo: even 0/10 he taunts you and wins, so only go in when your team catches or CCs him.
