Yuumi vs Galio Counter Pick

Galio’s health growth stands out most: he starts at 600 at level 1 and reaches 2,742 by level 18, with 103.9 armor and 32 base magic resistance. Yuumi climbs to 1,673 health by the same point, and over 223 games on patch 16.13.1 she wins only 41.3% against him. Both champions deal magic damage, so his magic resist soaks up Prowling Projectile, while Colossal Smash and Winds of War wear down her 25 magic resistance.

His key tool is Shield of Durand. A fully charged taunt pulls Yuumi’s ally out of formation, and because she rides along with that ally, she gets dragged into the same trouble without being targetable. Justice Punch then knocks up from 150 attack range, and Hero’s Entrance brings Galio in from outside the screen with a magic shield for nearby allies, cancelling the poke lead Yuumi builds at 425 range. He is rated 5 for difficulty to her 2, so the matchup depends more on timing than on mechanical precision. His 59 attack damage at level 1 and 340 move speed, compared with her 330, make the opening levels, before either ultimate is online, the most dangerous window for her. The practical answer is to disengage: use Zoomies to hand move speed to the carry before the taunt charge lands, and save Final Chapter until his ultimate has finished. Galio’s full ability breakdown is on his champion entry.
