Holy **** 1st time Galio in an easy bots game and I went 12-0-29
then in Normal I went 8-2-22

Awesome.

Some things about it I tweaked.. masteries for one .. why do you have "Cripple"? on your guide?... isn't that ill-placed?

I ended up going for 0 21 9 on the masteries so I could get the Flash and Clarity buffs, which I felt helped a lot more.

You aren't kidding about OOM.. dude.. this champion must be the most mana intensive (ie, DAMNIT I AM OUT OF MANA AGAIN?!?!) character I have ever played.
I even subbed using Health Pots, for Mana pots lulz.
Also, even at level 18 I was still soo glad I had clarity.

Final thought.. the flash+ulti scored me 2 triple kills and almost a QUADRA!

+1. awesome build sir.

Amazing guide. Played Galio for the first time using it and wound up with 10/6/34, a really good game. I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to put a point in cripple on the mastery page though.

I always take teleport instead of clarity, why you ask? Because, it will benefit you the whole game and not only 3 uses at the early game, second of all, I usually farm up like 490, or 840 gold, then recall, and get chalice of harmony and plain boots. After chalice of harmony I don't find clarity useful at ALL, because it fixes the mana problems. So, I suggest changing clarity with TP.

I like the guide a lot but I still prefer cooldown reduction runes just becuz I feel like they can save my life by rightous gusting and running away. Plus Resolute Smiting chasers behind me helps. ^^

This is a very nice guide for an mr/Tank build for Galio. you are correct about him being out of mana a lot, and there is another problem i have noticed with Galio. Sucky cooldowns. If you have an ult with an 130 sec cooldown, plus 2 spells that are 12 seconds and over, thats not very good especially if you are relying on spells more than basic attacks.

There are a few items you should list that are viable.

First, if you are facing a team with a lot of autoattackers/AD champs, you HAVE to get frozen heart imo. you build AP off of mr, but you need that armor and attack speed debuff to be an effective tank. The CDR makes it so you can spam your Q easier and it gives you a ton of mana.

If you have a balanced team, I would go with morello's evil tome. Insane CDR and great mana regen (though no flat mana). Plus, this makes you more offensive with AP. If they are tankier than average, just change that up to a deathfire grasp.

If you go with one of those off of fiendish codex, you will still probably have to get banshee's veil and clarity but you can actually have some mana sustain and not be out of mana late game.
