The magic damage that Galio deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Zoe deals primarily magic damage (73.69%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Galio is higher farming statistics (ranked 34th among role champions) (versus 49th for Zoe), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.8) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
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 Zoe, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
