Who to play with Galio — best team synergies

Unstoppable Force (R) piles them into a single spot and stuns them, so the 2.5-second telegraph on Hero's Entrance (R) stops being a problem: nobody walks out of that. And the Winds of War (Q) tornado catches the whole pile for 8% max HP each.

His page calls Mega Adhesive (W) plus Fling (E) a near-complete lockdown: the glue goes under your landing zone and whoever steps out gets thrown straight back in. He also lives inside their half, so Hero's Entrance (R) always has an ally to drop onto.

Fate Sealed (R) cuts through a whole line, knocks them together and teleports him behind it: that stationary clump is exactly what the Winds of War (Q) tornado and the Shield of Durand (W) taunt want. His damage is mixed, so armour alone will not answer you both.

Two taunts back to back on the same body: Shadow Dash (E) pins from range and a full Shield of Durand (W) channel adds another 1.5 seconds. And when Justice Punch (E) ends on a wall, Stand United (R) shields you and brings him there from across the map.

Bellows Breath (W) applies Brittle: your maximum Shield of Durand (W) taunt goes from 1.5 to nearly 2 seconds and drags bonus max-health damage along with it, the very scaling the Winds of War (Q) tornado already hits on.

Worth it in games played around picks: The Hextech Ultimatum (R) seals a carry inside an arena her team cannot enter, and against a target that cannot leave, the Hero's Entrance (R) telegraph counts for nothing. In an open 5v5 it catches one person.

Your page says every point of your damage is magic and falls off hard against magic resist: Cursed Touch (P) makes that damage carry true damage with it, which resist does not stop. And Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) holds the group still where you are landing.

The Moonfall (R) zone expands around her and slows and marks everyone caught inside: those are the seconds when enemies cannot leave the area Hero's Entrance (R) has already telegraphed. You land on a group that was trying to walk away.

Frenzying Taunt (E) nails their carry and the Shield of Durand (W) taunt takes the group a moment later: two taunts in a row, long enough for Winds of War (Q) and a Colossal Smash (P) empowered auto. He is also the frontline that lets you charge the full two seconds.

His page says Absolute Zero (R) is beaten by simply walking away: the Justice Punch (E) knock-up and the Shield of Durand (W) taunt take that option off the table. And the Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) knock-up hands you a stationary group for the tornado.

Shield of Durand (W) leaves you standing still and exposed for two seconds: Crescent Guard (R) knocks everyone back except his marked target and blocks ranged damage in exactly that window. His damage is physical, so one item cannot switch you both off.

Highlander (R) makes him slow-immune but not taunt-proof, and Shield of Durand (W) turns whoever should be stopping him toward you instead; the true damage from Wuju Style (E) ignores the magic resist that hurts you. He is still a 47.8% jungler in China.

The Winds of War (Q) tornado forms where the two bolts meet, and against a target Frost Shot (P) slows with every single hit, that point stops moving. Then Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) stuns from off-screen and Hero's Entrance (R) lands on a frozen body.

Her page calls Bullet Time (R) a death sentence when cast blind: the Shield of Durand (W) taunt forces the group to stand facing you for 1.5 seconds, and the Hero's Entrance (R) knock-up opens her channel over a clumped enemy team.

Deadly Flourish (W) roots anyone an ally has just hit, and Winds of War (Q) clips half their team on every poke, so that root is armed almost all the time. A rooted target is also one that cannot leave the zone Hero's Entrance (R) telegraphs.

Her page says she is an ordinary carry outside point-blank range: the Shield of Durand (W) taunt drags the group onto you and holds it there while she walks in. And after the Hero's Entrance (R) knock-up they are clumped, which is what Inferno Trigger (R) wants.

Arcane Shift (E) gets him out on his own, so you never have to bank Hero's Entrance (R) as a bail-out and can spend it to start fights. In return Justice Punch (E) and the taunt hold a target still for Mystic Shot (Q) and the slow-travelling Trueshot Barrage (R).

Worth it against teams that stand close together: Chain of Corruption (R) roots the first target and spreads to its neighbours, and a rooted group cannot leave the Hero's Entrance (R) zone. Against a spread team the chain dies on the first body.

Shield of Durand (W) leaves you immobile for two seconds and a single crowd-control effect breaks it: Black Shield (E) eats exactly that. And the two-second Dark Binding (Q) root outlasts your maximum taunt, so the tornado simply cannot miss.

Your written limit is that an alert team just walks out of the Hero's Entrance (R) area: inside The Box (R), at 99% slow, nobody walks anywhere, and Flay (E) shoves back whoever tries it anyway.

Magnet Storm (R) vacuums the group toward her instead of letting it scatter: they end up piled exactly where you are landing. And Shattering Strike (Q) stuns and destroys the shields that would otherwise eat your burst.

Unbreakable (E) intercepts the projectiles in front of you while you charge the full two seconds of Shield of Durand (W), the window your page calls stationary and exposed. And Glacial Fissure (R) knocks up a whole line inside your tornado.

The Zenith Blade (E) root and the Shield of Daybreak (Q) stun hold a target without you spending Justice Punch (E), the dash that strands you among them when it whiffs. And every hit of yours on a Sunlight (P) marked target adds bonus magic damage.

Bring him when the other side has real burst: a Justice Punch (E) that ends on a minion leaves you in the middle of them with nothing, and Chronoshift (R) undoes precisely that death. Against a slow comp with no assassins it is worth far less.
