Galio the Colossus
Outside the gleaming city of Demacia, the stone colossus Galio keeps vigilant watch. Built as a bulwark against enemy mages, he often stands motionless for decades until the presence of powerful magic stirs him to life. Once activated, Galio makes the most of his time, savoring the thrill of a fight and the rare honor of defending his countrymen. But his triumphs are always bittersweet, for the magic he destroys is also his source of reanimation, and each victory leaves him dormant once again.

Every few seconds, Galio's next basic attack deals bonus magic damage in an area.
Winds of War

MetaBot Tips

- Galio is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Galio secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
- Galio tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- Galio has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Galio has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
