How to Beat Aurelion Sol as Galio (Mid)

While statistically Galio is slightly stronger than Aurelion Sol in the mid lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Galio deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Aurelion Sol deals primarily magic damage (95.57%), additional magic resistance may be required.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Aurelion Sol, ranking 37th (versus 54th for Galio) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Galio Mid versus Aurelion Sol Mid matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Galio player to maintain constant pressure on Aurelion Sol, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
