Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE COLOSSAL SMASH

Every few seconds, Galio's next basic attack deals bonus magic damage in an area. Galio gains attack speed when Colossal Smash is up. When an ability hits an epic monster or enemy champion, it reduces the cooldown of Colossal Smash by 3 seconds. This effect can only be triggered once per cast.

1 WINDS OF WAR

Galio fires two windblasts that converge into a large tornado that deals damage over time.

2 SHIELD OF DURAND

Galio charges a defensive stance, moving slowly. Upon releasing the charge, Galio will taunt and damage nearby enemy champions.

3 JUSTICE PUNCH

Galio will briefly step back and charge, damaging and knocking up the first enemy champion he encounters.

ULTIMATE HERO'S ENTRANCE

Galio designates an ally's position as his landing spot, granting all allies in the area a magic shield. After a delay Galio smashes down location, knocking up nearby enemies.
