Galio ultimate guide (latest patch) - shred them with the winds of war!
Galio's Summoner Spells:
Flash: This is a must-have for almost all champions, including Galio. It provides mobility, escape, and engagement potential.
Ignite: This spell provides extra kill pressure in lane and reduces healing, which is useful against champions with strong healing abilities.
Galio Runes
Primary Path (Sorcery):
Arcane Comet: This is your primary damage rune. It synergizes well with Galio's ability combo.
Manaflow Band: This rune helps with mana sustain, allowing you to use your abilities more frequently.
Transcendence: Provides additional ability haste and cooldown reduction on takedown, which is crucial for Galio's utility and damage.
Scorch: This rune provides extra poke damage in the laning phase.
Secondary Path (Domination):
Sudden Impact: This rune is activated by Galio's Justice Punch and Hero's Entrance, providing extra magic penetration.
Ultimate Hunter: This rune reduces the cooldown of your ultimate, allowing you to use it more frequently in team fights.

Galio's Items:
Start with Dark Seal and Refillable Potion for early sustain and potential snowballing.
On your first back, aim to have 800-1100 gold and buy two Doran's Rings. This provides a good balance of AP, health, and mana regeneration.
Galio's core items + Situational:
Luden's Tempest (3400 gold), Sorcerer's Shoes (1100 gold), and Void Staff (2700 gold). These items provide a significant amount of magic penetration and ability power.
After your core items, build Demonic Embrace (3000 gold) and Cosmic Drive (3000 gold) for additional AP, health, and utility.
Your last item can be Warmog's Armor (3000 gold) for sustain, Rabadon's Deathcap (3600 gold) for raw AP, or Morellonomicon (2500 gold) if you need to apply Grievous Wounds to enemies.
Galio's Ability Skill Order:
Q (Winds of War): 1, 4, 5, 7, 9
W (Shield of Durand): 3, 8, 10, 12, 13
E (Justice Punch): 2, 14, 15, 17, 18
R (Hero's Entrance): 6, 11, 16
Galio General Playstyle:
Galio is a champion that excels in crowd control and area denial. In the laning phase, focus on farming and poking your opponent with your Q. Use your E and W to engage or disengage as necessary. Remember, Galio's passive, Colossal Smash, resets upon casting E or W, so weave in your auto attacks between abilities for maximum damage.
In the mid to late game, look for opportunities to use your ultimate to assist your team in fights. Your role in team fights is to engage with your E and W, and use your Q and passive for damage. Use your ultimate to either engage, disengage, or peel for your team.
Galio Dragon and Baron:
Use your Q for poke and your W for zoning. Remember, your ultimate can turn the tide of a fight, so communicate with your team and look for opportunities to use it.
Matchups:
The specific matchups weren't provided in the documents, but generally, Galio does well against melee champions and struggles against ranged champions. Champions with predictable engage tools (like Zac or Malphite) are good allies for Galio, as they can set up his ultimate. Champions with high mobility or long-range poke can be difficult for Galio to deal with. This was Galio’s ultimate guide for the latest patch.
