Top-4 rate of boards where Galio held exactly these three items. Thief's Gloves builds equip random items, so they count as one build.

83% of full Galio builds are defensive items — players use Galio as a frontline that soaks damage while the carry deals it. That differs from Galio's listed role in the game files — ranked players use it differently.
