Akali vs Galio in Mid lane is a hard lane on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: His W in a fight will kill you — Zhonya through it or find some way out, or you're dead. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Zhonya his W

His W in fights needs a Zhonya or some other escape — sit in it and you die.

Play when R is down

His R is fairly high cooldown — when it's gone, look to make a play on someone other than him.

Don't waste energy

He stepbacks with E to dodge your Q — if he does, he's already won the trade, so don't burn energy chasing.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never dive Galio solo — even 0/10 he taunts you and wins, so only go in when your team catches or CCs him.
