Galio Build
the Colossus
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.
The most played Galio Mid build on patch 26.21 runs Stormraider's Surge with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch, plus Second Wind and Unflinching from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Teleport. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Hollow Radiance, Chainlaced Crushers and Imperial Mandate, followed by Zhonya's Hourglass, Thornmail and Rabadon's Deathcap. Max Q (Winds of War) first, then W (Shield of Durand), then E (Justice Punch). It has a 49.8% win rate and a 3.7% pick rate.
