Abilities
Colossal SmashWR
Passive - Colossal Smash

Innate: Periodically, Galio's next basic attack is empowered gain 40% bonus attack speed, have an uncancellable windup, and deal 15 - 155 (based on level) (+ 100% AD) (+ 45% AP) (+ 60% bonus magic resistance) modified magic damage to the target and all enemies near them. The damage from AD ratio is affected by critical strike modifiers.

The cooldown is reduced by 3 seconds when Galio's abilities hit at least one enemy champion or epic monster.

Winds of WarWR
Ability 1 - Winds of War
Cost: 75 Mana
CD: 11.5 / 10 / 8.5 / 7
Cast Time: 0.25

Active: Galio creates two windblasts at 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 / 115 / 160 / 205 (+ 75% AP)

When the blasts meet, the gusts form a tornado that persists for 1.5 seconds, slowly moving forward and dealing magic damage equal to 2.67% (+ 0.67% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health every 0.5 seconds to enemies within the area.

Shield of DurandWR
Ability 2 - Shield of Durand
Cost: 50 Mana
CD: 18 / 17 / 16 / 15
Cast Time: None
Effect Radius: 200-X

Passive: Whenever Galio takes magic damage, he first gains a shield that absorbs magic damage for 3.5 seconds. This effect refreshes after not taking damage for 12 seconds.

Magic Shield Strength: 8 / 12 / 16 / 20% maximum health
Magic Damage Reduction: 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% (+ 4% per 100 AP) (+ 1% per 100 bonus health) (+ 8% per 100 bonus magic resist)
Physical Damage Reduction: 12.5 / 15 / 17.5 / 20% (+ 2% per 100 AP) (+ 0.5% per 100 bonus health) (+ 4% per 100 bonus magic resist)

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 and taunt duration over the first 1.25 seconds of the channel.

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, as well as taunts them for 0.5 - 1.5 (based on level) seconds and sets their movement speed to a static amount for the same duration.

Justice PunchWR
Ability 3 - Justice Punch
Cost: 50 Mana
CD: 10 / 9 / 8 / 7
Cast Time: 0.4

Minion/Monster Damage: 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+ 40% AP)

Galio deals magic damage to enemies he passes through, reduced to 85% against minions and monsters, and knocks them up for 0.75 seconds and reveals them for 1.5 seconds.

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

After channeling for 1.25 seconds, he gains crowd control immunity for the remaining duration, becomes untargetable, and leaps into the air before dashing to his destination. Upon landing, he becomes targetable again, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies upon impact, knocking them back 100 units over 0.75 seconds, and refreshing the cooldown of Shield of Durand 2 passive shield.

Patch 6.2bChange

Since the nerf to Shield of Durand, AP builds on Galio have dominated. We're aiming to bring AP Tank builds back into the spotlight. Galio’s max health now contributes more to Shield of Durand’s damage reduction, and its effectiveness has been improved at close range. Additionally, Galio can now trigger his passive more to maximize its impact. We believe these changes will give Galio greater build flexibility and help him return to his role as a true mage-slaying sentinel.

Patch 5.3aBuff

We’re lowering Galio’s cooldowns across the board so he can better takedown his enemies or assist his teammates, whichever role you prefer!

Winds of War

  • Cooldown reduced from 11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds to 11.5/10/8.5/7.

Justice Punch

  • Cooldown reduced from 11/10/9/8 seconds to 10/9/8/7.

Hero's Entrance

  • Cooldown reduced from 100/90/80 seconds to 90/80/70.
Patch 4.4bBuff

Is it just us or is Galio a little squishy for someone literally made out of stone? We’ve buffed some base numbers for him and now hopefully he can protect his team as well as he protects Demacia!

Stats

  • Base health increased from 570 to 600.
  • Base armor increased from 30 to 34.
Patch 4.2aBuff

We’ve seen Galio struggling in the current meta, so we’re reducing the cooldown on his ultimate so that he can make a grand entrance and peel for his teammates more often.

Hero's Entrance

  • Cooldown reduced from 110/100/90 seconds to 100/90/80.
Patch 4.2Buff

Stats

  • Base movement speed increased from 335 to 345.
Patch 4.0cChange

In the past, we shifted some of the damage and ratios around for Galio’s Hero’s Entrance, but we’re going back on this. We’re also making a few other changes in order to buff up tank Galio builds as we have seen them falling significantly behind the Ability Power builds recently.

Hero's Entrance

  • Shield duration increased from 3.5 seconds to 5.
  • Base damage increased from 100/175/250 to 150/250/350.
  • Damage AP ratio reduced from 100% AP to 70%.
Patch 3.3Change

We’re making it a bit easier to approach your foes while charging in with Shield of Druand and giving Galio a bit more durability so he can look to take those risker engagements.

Stats

  • Health growth increased from 125 to 135.

Shield of Durand

  • Movement speed reduction reduced from 25% to 15%.

Hero's Entrance

  • Cooldown reduced from 130/115/100 seconds to 110/100/90.
Patch 3.2Buff

Galio’s Shield of Durand has been reaching full strength too quickly for how powerful of an effect it is. To give his opponents some more room for counterplay, we’re increasing the charge time to access the full power of this spell, while also giving it some more damage in return.

Shield of Durand

  • Maximum effect charge time increased from 0.75 to 1.25.
  • Minimum area of effect radius reduced from 200 to 175.
  • Base damage increased from 40/70/100/130 to 40/80/120/160.
  • AP ratio increased from 45% AP to 55%.
Patch 3.1Change

Recently Galio has been excelling in the Support role, especially when he focuses his build around tank items.We want to see him fly into the Mid Lane more often, so we’re giving him some more Ability Power on his Hero’s Entrance. This will reward Galio players who build more Ability Power with more impactful ultimates.

Hero's Entrance

  • Base damage reduced from 150/250/350 to 100/175/250.
  • AP ratio increased from 70% AP to 100%.
Patch 2.5aNerf

While Galio’s support presence was recently nerfed, we’re seeing him get stronger in mid due to the input buffering changes (how his abilities interact with Flash and Protobelt Enchant) in Patch 2.5. This time, we’re further chipping away at his ultimate to address his omnipresence and dominance in pro play.

Hero's Entrance

  • Cooldown increased from 120/100/80 seconds to 130/115/100.
Patch 2.5Nerf

Galio's tanky support build is performing a little too well in all skill levels which makes him an overly flexible pick. We're taking a light chip out of his (2) Shield of Durand to make playstyles that invest points in it early a little bit less effective.

Shield of Durand

  • Base damage reduced from 40/80/120/160 to 40/70/100/130.
Patch 2.2bBuff

We went a bit too hard on Galio, and also discovered a bug that may have skewed our assessment of his power. We’re buffing back some things that support Galio’s tankiness, but also reverting some changes we felt had higher value in making him more fun.

Stats

  • Health growth increased from 115 to 125.

Colossal Smash

  • Cooldown reduced from 5/4.5/4 (at level 1/5/9) seconds to 5/4/3 (at level 1/5/9).

Winds of War

  • Percent health AP ratio increased from 1.5% per 100 AP to 2%.
  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where it was dealing its initial damage twice.
Patch 2.2aNerf

Much like his iconic ultimate, Galio arrived with a bang and disrupted the meta significantly. We’re toning back his damage across the board, and shortening his (3) Justice Punch range based on feedback that it felt a little long.

Stats

  • Base health reduced from 610 to 570.

Colossal Smash

  • Cooldown increased from 5/4/3 (at level 1/5/9) seconds to 5/4.5/4 (at level 1/5/9).
  • Base damage reduced from 15 to 225 (based on level) to 15 to 190 (based on level).

Winds of War

  • Percent health AP ratio reduced from 2% per 100 AP to 1.5%.

Shield of Durand

  • Cooldown increased from 15/14/13/12 seconds to 18/17/16/15.
  • AP ratio reduced from 60% AP to 45%.
