We don't have him yet, but seeing as we are supposed to be getting him, and Kwon was asking about how to build him, I am making the Galio strategy thread. This one gets a bonus: my Galio guide I made in Hextech in a failed attempt to get more Demacians to play him (thought I have kept it updated sense).

AP Mid Galio

Don't just look at the build if you are thinking about playing him; there is a full guide I wrote up on how to play him.

How does he do top? I was thinking he could be a decent top option, providing more peel and tank for the pokey mid/ADC. My concern is also that if we run him mid, we don't get Ez or Ziggs or Ori mid. I believe in your abilities, Mike, I just thought the top Galio might suit Piltover better. All theory though, could be wrong.

Galio top is good vs. magic picks, so we might want to never pick Galio first. If possible we want to leave him for last so that we can counter-pick an AP top like Vlad, Cass, Swain, Skarner or the like. IMO even if we can't field him mid or top because they went for double AD, we can still use him bot as a support as a Janna alternative (I do not approve of this, but this can happen while I'm not looking :P ).

I beat a Fizz top. Once. In Factions. When I had no clue what I was doing.

Sorry to whoever played the Fizz.

Galio support is really great. Once you have your ult and the enemy is just trying to engage good luck. Movement speed buff and a shield makes for a great support. He can't do as much damage support as Ziggs who is also a great support, but Galio is great support too.

You might want to change the guide since you refer to the old support tree.

The first tier slot gives +100 mana now, not 3 mana per 5.

My mastery tree has the right masteries (and they only give +75 mana). The mastery section of the guide had it right as well, just used the old name for the mastery (summoner's insight, I changed it to expanded mind now).

That's like 100% useless in most piltover comps.
The only real advantage I see is it gives us a legit devourer jungle, but still.

I would genuinely encourage people to use the forums more, but they're not even in the Piltover chat.

We can run much more than just poke comps dude... She fits in well with J4 in getting into the backline along with another person that can be a ball carrier for Ori.

Yeah but, do you see the problem we are having where the majority of our comp is Demacia? Just add Xin to that comp and we're basically a Demacian comp.

Well, we do contribute ADCs and midlaners (IMO Ziggs, Ori or Heimer can easily replace and even outperform Lux). When it comes to squishy ranged people, Piltover's the best. The problem is that 3/5ths of the current meta do not favour ranged squishy people.

Also we only contribute one support, and while she's the Actual Best Support In The Game, she's not a tanky initiator like Thresh, Leona, Braum, Nautilus, Blitzcrank, etc.

If you are referring to this post that was for last weekend's FM, not this weekend. It also wasn't posted until after I was in the middle of making the FM lobby, and so couldn't check for new posts till after the FM were over cause #omgFMarechaotic and so missed what will likely be my only chance to play Galio this arc.
