Cassiopeia vs Galio in Mid lane is a favourable lane on patch 26.16. The one thing to respect: his E is his only way into a trade or gank — bait it out, then punish while it's down. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Bait his E

He needs his E to start any trade or gank — it's outranged by all your abilities and he's vulnerable while it's on cooldown.

Free early harass

Harass him at levels 1-2 — he can't retaliate much this early.

Stay out of his W

While he's charging his W, keep out of its range so the channel does nothing to you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Let him go untouched for 12 seconds — that's the window he needs to get his magic-damage shield.
