I actually main galio supp, and here are some advices:

- you want to start with golden coin unless you are rushing chalice (two faerie charms). its the best of the 3 suport items for him.

- rush chalice, always, you NEED that mana regen and the magic resist increase your dmg.

- max Q, its your harras and CC during laning phase, is not so easy to dodge since it cannot be blocked by the minions and is not announced like nami Q.

- don't put a point in your E until lvl 4 unless your jungle is going for a lvl 3 gank. you will be out of mana in a single spell rotation if you do.

- during lanning phase focus on poking his adc and make his farming a living hell, shoot it a little behind him since he will try to run back. at lvl 4/5 your Q will deal a substancial amount of dmg to his carry and you may try to go all in. At lvl 6 you should really try to go all in, a good ult will give you a kill and with a jungle gank is a double kill for sure (use bulwark before your ult, increases your AP and reduces a lot the dmg you will take)

- for items go for a mix between MR and utility: talisman of ascension, Ruby Sightstone and Mikael's Crucible are his core items. then you should change your build according to the opponent team and your performance. If you go a couple of assists early and you got some money to spare, invest in agresive items like Liandrys torment or Abyssal Scepter. if they got too much AD Thornmail is your greatest armor item.

- always go Heal/Flash. you need Flash to connect the best ults and catch 3 enemies. And heal becasue you cannot heal your carry directly and the MS is great.

- for maestries I run 0/13/17 focusing on MR, mana and gold income. runes are general tanky.

good luck :D
