Abilities[]

Edit

Innate: Periodically, Galio's next basic attack is empowered to have an uncancellable windup, gain 40% bonus attack speed and deal 15 − 115 (based on level) (+ 100% AD) (+ 45% AP) (+ 60% bonus magic resistance) modified magic damage to the target and all enemies near them.

Whenever Galio hits at least one enemy champion or epic monster with an ability, the cooldown of Colossal Smash is reduced by 3 seconds. This may occur only once per cast.

Colossal Smash can critically strike for (75% + 40%) AD bonus magic damage to all targets hit.

▶️ "Smash!"

Spellblade does not get converted to magic damage and it will deal its damage only to the primary target.
The empowered attack will not trigger against wards.
Even if the ability hit is spell shielded Colossal Smash's cooldown will still be reduced.

Edit

Active: Galio creates two windblasts 250 units to either side of him that arc out before converging to the target location, dealing magic damage to all enemies they pass through.

Magic Damage:: 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+ 70% AP)

When the blasts meet, the gusts form a tornado that persists for 2 seconds, slowly moving forward and dealing magic damage equal to「 2.5% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health every 0.5 seconds 」「 10% (+ 4% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health over the duration 」to enemies within the area, capped at「 150 per tick 」「 600 total 」against monsters.

Winds of War will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Deals area damage on the gust and applies persistent area damage for the tornado.
Spell shield will block the gusts damage but not the tornado's.
Yasuo's Wind Wall and Braum's Unbreakable can block each windblast individually.
- The tornado will not form if only one windblast reaches the target location.
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.

Arena differences ^edit

Base damage changed to 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210.

Edit

Passive: Galio gains Anti-Magic Bulwark, and restores it after 12 / 10 / 8 (based on level) seconds without taking damage.

Anti-Magic Bulwark: Gain a shield that absorbs magic damage.

Magic Shield Strength:: 7.5 / 9 / 10.5 / 12 / 13.5% of maximum health

Active: Galio charges for up to 2 seconds, slowing himself by 15%, and gaining magic damage reduction and half of that amount as physical damage reduction; charging increases Shield of Durand's radius, damage and taunt duration over the first 1.25 seconds of the channel.

Magic Damage Reduction:: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 45% (+ 4% per 100 AP) (+ 8% per 100 bonus magic resistance) (+ 1% per 100 bonus health)
Physical Damage Reduction:: 12.5 / 15 / 17.5 / 20 / 22.5% (+ 1.5% per 100 AP) (+ 4% per 100 bonus magic resistance) (+ 0.5% per 100 bonus health)

Shield of Durand can be recast within the duration and does so automatically afterwards or if it is interrupted.

Recast: Galio refreshes the damage reduction for 2 seconds and deals magic damage to nearby enemy champions, increased by 0% − 200% (based on channel time), as well as taunts them for 0.5 − 1.5 (based on channel time) seconds and, after a brief delay, sets their movement speed to a static 60 for the same duration but slightly longer.

Minimum Magic Damage:: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 (+ 30% AP)
Maximum Magic Damage:: 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 90% AP)

Galio is locked out of attacking and casting for 0.4 seconds after recasting.
- Galio may still buffer his actions during this time.
Static movement speed cannot be modified by bonus movement speed or slow resist.
- This effect is negated only if the target is slow-immune.
The ability key does not need to be held down when buffered in other abilities except Winds of War.
The following table refers for interactions while Galio is channeling:

Type		Charge channel
Attacking		Disabled
Abilities		Disabled
Movement		Allowed
Items	Usable	Shurelya's Battlesong Youmuu's Ghostblade Randuin's Omen
	Disabled	Hextech Rocketbelt
	Interrupted by	All item-actives not specified above interrupt
Consumables		Usable
Spells	Usable	Barrier Clarity Cleanse Exhaust Ghost Heal Ignite Smite
	Disabled	Flash Teleport Hexflash
	Interrupted by	Recall
Interrupted by		Death Cast-inhibiting effects

Since Anti-Magic Bulwark is instantly granted upon learning the ability, the shield may be gained once per game while in combat.

Arena differences ^edit

Shield health ratio changed to 7.5 / 9 / 10.5 / 12 / 13.5% maximum health.
Shield timer changed to 5 seconds.
Cooldown changed to 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 seconds

Edit

Active: Galio steps backwards in the opposite direction over the cast time, then dashes to the target location until he hits an enemy champion or terrain.

Galio deals magic damage to enemies he passes through, reduced to 80% against non-champions, and knocks them up for 0.75 seconds as well as reveals them for the same duration.

Magic Damage:: 90 / 130 / 170 / 210 / 250 (+ 90% AP)
Non-Champion Damage:: 72 / 104 / 136 / 168 / 200 (+ 72% AP)

Justice Punch will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Galio will initiate the dash even if his step backwards is knocked down.
Galio's second dash will always dash the distance of the target direction. Having the step backwards cut short has no effect on the total distance gained.

Edit

Active: Galio prepares to make an entrance, channeling for 2.75 seconds and designating the target allied champion's location at the time of cast as his landing spot. Additionally, he resets Shield of Durand's passive shield for himself and grants it to all allied champions within the area for 5 seconds.

After channeling for 1.25 seconds, he gains crowd control immunity for the remaining duration, becomes untargetable, and leaps into the air for 0.8 seconds before dashing to his destination over 0.2 seconds. Afterwards, he lands and becomes targetable again, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies upon impact, knocking them back 100 units over 0.75 seconds, and remaining in place for 0.5 seconds.

Magic Damage:: 150 / 250 / 350 (+ 70% AP)

▶️ (Upon landing) "Hi everybody!"

Hero's Entrance does not resist allied crowd control.
Galio cannot cast Hero's Entrance on allies he cannot see while nearsighted.
Galio will still cause an impact to occur at the destination even if he is unable to travel the full distance with the dash (e.g. by The Hextech Ultimatum's and Realm of Death's borders and terrain). Galio will dash as far as he can go, and thus, does not end the dash prematurely.
Galio will always dash 100 units minimum, and dash over his target's location if they are less than 100 units away from him.
The following table refers for interactions while Galio is channeling:

Type		Channel
Attacking		Disabled
Abilities		Disabled
Movement		Disabled
Items	Usable	Shurelya's Battlesong Youmuu's Ghostblade Randuin's Omen
	Disabled	All the other item-actives are disabled
	Interrupted by	N/A

	Disabled	Flash Teleport Recall Hexflash
	Interrupted by	N/A
Interrupted by		Death Grounding effects Immobilizing effects Cast-inhibiting effects

Hero's Entrance's channel can only be interrupted by crowd control in the first 1.25 seconds.

Arena differences ^edit

Base damage changed to 150 / 300 / 450.
Knock up duration changed to 1.5 seconds.

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.

Trivia[]

Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow

The name Galio may be inspired by the name Galileo, most commonly known for the Renaissance polymath Galileo.
- The name Galileo means "man of Galilee", ultimately from Semitic root g-l "to roll".^[2]
Galio's dance references Beauty and the Beast by Walt Disney.

Galio, the Colossus

Galio retains his dance post-rework, which references Beauty and the Beast by Walt Disney.
He references his previous alias while attacking a Blue Sentinel: ▶️"You're a sentinel? I'm a sentinel! We should fight!"
- In this case however, this interaction has literal implications: Galio being a textbook-definition sentinel for Demacia, and Galio perhaps sharing similar origins with the Blue Sentinel, both being rock/mineral beings empowered/given life by magic.
