What the Rift Lab holds on this champion: the kit as Riot publishes it, the build the lab reviewed, and the matchups it has documented. Anything the dataset does not record is left out rather than filled in.
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
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.
Galio fires two windblasts that converge into a large tornado that deals damage over time.
Galio charges a defensive stance, moving slowly. Upon releasing the charge, Galio will taunt and damage nearby enemy champions.
Galio will briefly step back and charge, damaging and knocking up the first enemy champion he encounters.
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.
The reviewed purchase order and rune page for this champion. Every entry that has a page of its own is linked to it; an item the catalogue holds no page for is printed as a name rather than pointed at a page that does not exist.
One slot, changed when the enemy team changes the problem. These are answers, not automatic purchases.
Ability text and the in-game title follow Riot's official Wild Rift champion pages. The tier letter is the external snapshot shown on the tier list, and the build is the Nexus reviewed snapshot — neither is a win rate.
In the matchup data documented in Rift Lab, these are the harder matchups for Galio: Zed (Mid), Fizz (Mid), Yasuo (Mid), Talon (Jungle), Annie (Support). This is a documented matchup list, not a win rate: TheNexus does not publish win-rate or pick-rate figures it cannot source.
Riot's ability text for Galio describes crowd control (a stun, root, knock-up, pull or similar) in SHIELD OF DURAND (ability 2); a dash, leap or blink in SHIELD OF DURAND (ability 2), JUSTICE PUNCH (ability 3); a shield in HERO'S ENTRANCE (ultimate). Plan around those abilities before a trade or a fight. These notes are keyword matches over the ability text only, not a rating of how strong Galio is, so read the full descriptions on this page.
The Nexus-reviewed core build for Galio, in purchase order: Yordle Trap then Warmog's Armor then Frozen Heart then Plated Steelcaps. Runes: Ice Overlord, Courage of the Colossus, Second Wind, Perseverance, Sudden Impact. Situational swaps: against enemy burst: Bone Plating. This is a reviewed snapshot (patch 7.2b), not a build ranked by win rate.
Galio is a Tank and Mage by Riot's classification and is played in Mid. Riot rates the difficulty Medium. On our tier-list snapshot (patch 7.2b) it shows S tier from its external source, which is a snapshot letter and not a TheNexus win rate.
Every answer here is built from Rift Lab data and Riot's own ability text. Where the data is missing we say so instead of guessing.
Skins are available for gifting by rarity tier. Pick the skin you want for Galio in the Wild Rift shop, check its rarity tier, then choose the same tier here. TheNexus sends it to your Riot ID through the tracked gifting flow, we never ask for your game password, and your order page shows every step.
Prices are read live from the store catalogue and can change, and the product page shows the final price before you pay. This page does not list skin names or their tiers because the Rift Lab data does not hold them.
