EPTHe isn't really built any differently now than when the guide was written. Chalice is probably more loved now than before (especially if you're solotop vs an AP caster or something). Core items to me would be Banshee, chalice, aegis. Anything else varies based on enemy team - you're a tank, you're gonna be building a good number of your items reactively. Don't feel too shoehorned into favoring MR over HP/Armor just because of the passive. Just consider the passive a nice boost! (Also, makes abyssal scepter a real potential option, especially if you're tanking for a heavy-magic damage team)

His EQ clears all 6 minions which is both great for fast pushing and tower huging . His early game dps is scary while he still builds towards tanky and maintains presence in late game vs carries . I prefere phylo over chalice and go for mercs , abysal starting with negatron then thornmail if enemy is AD heavy to compliment your ult. He's also great with a null magic mantle opening against an AP caster mid, can basically ignore everything they do and just harass and farm. | ||

Also can someone explain to me (who has fuck no clue about Galio), why no one ever builds HP on him? I do build Aegis in duo lane and that counts as HP source espec at low LvL's when you obtain HP crystal. Galios passive ''forces'' you to get Chalice ( Open mantle ) or atleast 1 negatron as it's wery cost effective and fits your role ( Tanky ap ) before HP items . After Abysal / chein vest i would think about grabing belt to pull off ults safely. I'm not big fan of B-veil in general .... but i could see it on Galio . Cata provides laning power , you are buying negatron anyways and B-veil itself tehnicaly makes your ult last longer ( thou in reality to keep it up as tank .... ) To summ up : Saphire + 2 pots -> Cata -> Boots 1 -> Aegis ? or skip and go Negatron -> C-vest or finish B-veil Mercs / Abysal / B-veil / Thornmail / Rabadon / 6th item is either Aegis if you build it early or could be GA ? This is ofc super long end game stuff ... other then that B-veil Mercs Aegis C-vest and Giants belt sufice | ||

Nasus. Seriously, I can't harass him out of lane because of his built-in lifesteal, and if i go in for lasthits he godslows me and Qs. If I am solo top against Nasus (Garen kinda too, but somehow i don't find him to be that difficult to break even with), what extra precautions should I take? (Build is Saph crystal + pots -> Rush RoA -> Mercs -> situational tanky. Mpen red, armour yellows, magic resist blues, armour quints) | ||

Is Chalice advocated because it allows you to open MR, thus giving an advantage early on? | ||

When it comes to dmging enemy champion : I try to use my EQ combo when they go for last hit or are just foolish enough to chill in minion range . Only after geting philo/chalice i use spare CD's to pew pew enemy other then that farm is priority NR1 . Don't forget to ward river bush since EQ often ends up pushing lane . Galio is great top when it comes to 1V2 or playing vs some1 who is mutch better and zones you . Wait for EQ CD -> get in range to shoot both -> go back to hug tower and heal dmg you took while landed EQ . It's even easyer when enemy team mindlesly try push minions into your tower . What are the thoughts on Rylai''s ? Does QER apply 15% slow ? Even if slow isn't that good i still pick it up in some games when i end up buying G belt and need to build it into something and since galio likes AP this is only option . Max build : Mercs , Abysall , Rylais , Cap, GA , usualy aegis , but could sell for Hourglass | ||

0/9/21, taking SoS 1 HP quint, 2 flat mres quints Flat armor seals Mres marks Mres/lvl glyphs Null magic mantle+2 hpots -> Chalice -> Mercs -> RoA -> Situational You can't really get shit on by anyone and your lane is SO FUCKING EASY to gank post-6. Situational items: Banshees (don't really like that), FoN, Randuins (get HoG early if you plan on getting it later), Abyssal, GA | ||

and I guess he'd stomp most AP carries or at least just be able to farm up a storm without being scared of anything. | ||

Seems to be so strong with his W especially, but all I see is like those Abyssal/Thornmal, and MAYBE banshees builds. Most of the caster items good on him don't really give hp. If you have tons of mr for ap you generally just want to pick up a quick fix armour item (chain/thorn) or grab frozen for another caster item, then you go full ap with deathcap/void since he doesn't really need to be insanely tanky just to ult and poke. | ||

ROA is like the only caster item that galio really enjoys having which has HP on it - Rylais just isn't worth it, and most of the other ones have no HP. Banshees is a significant source of HP, as is Aegis. However, His W uptime is pretty poor, even with blue, unlike Rammus (who has a vaguely similar W) and the W is often not used on yourself (w your carry in big fights if anyone jumps on them) in bigger engagements. Your R has 50% damage reduction so even taunting their carry is not going to hurt THAT much. Finally, until he initiates with ult, and after his ult is done, Galio tends to just chill and poke - he doesn't need to stay in their face forever, which is why you can generally afford to not build as pure of tankyness as someone like amumu or rammus - amumu trying to stay in and get the most out of W/E and Rammus staying in with W up waiting for his next taunt CD. | ||

A bit less useful early on, but mana problems become a lot less common late game and you don't get to sell it as you probably would with Chalice (you convert it to Archmage's instead). Is Chalice advocated because it allows you to open MR, thus giving an advantage early on? Yes, Chalice is advocated due to all of the synergy it has with Galibro...MR for his passive and tons of mana regen with its unique/static MP5. It's also a little bit cheaper than Tear and provides more. Stick with Chalice. | ||

Also, Zhonya's is quite expensive due to that good active, but it lacks synergy with his ult (and, generally, the fact that he stays a bit back once he initiated). So I end up getting chalice/tear, then FoN (I prefer it over banshee because more MR, regen for "uptime" after skirmishes, and I'm a movespeed whore), and thornmail as core items, since thornmail's less expensive than randuin's, synergizes well with ult, etc. Generally abyssal after that, then CDR, AP or HP items (If I bought chalice I'd sell it for some AP/mp5 item like DFG/Morello's). That being said, I run him 0-21-9 or 0-20-10, I should perhaps give a try to 0-9-21. Oh, and I also max W over E. That's lots of tweaks to try and see how I'd feel with the settings most of you seem to privilegiate. | ||

FoN : Imo Abysal is the Mres choice for Galio and provides Team aura and Ap . Galio makes good use of Ap as he can afford to range poke and goes in mele range to ult where he gets additional ressists. Since Galio has E FoN's passive pales. It's hard to put FoN in build order since Philo/Chalice - Mercs - Aegis ? - Abysal - Chain vest for me is more or less core . Finishing vest to GA , Galio ends up with 200 Mres without w . Randuins same as FH doesn't provide anything besides Armor to Galio and I get HourGlass not coz of active , but since it provides imense AP AND Armor . Mercs , Abysall , Rylais (RoA) , Cap, GA , usualy Aegis , but could sell for Hourglass . Brings Galio to 3k Hp 200/200 res AND 600 AP Flash - ult - E - Q - W will kill squishies and keep Galio safe . I max E Q first as Galio has insane poke dmg from safe distance and is able to KO whole wave without geting low on mana nor Hp ( Important when you get zoned or need to turret hug 1v2 etc ) W gets maxed last when Teem fights realy kick in and moustly to be used on your bruisers or squishies who happen to be attacked . | ||
