By locking into the same side as Xerath, he improves their win rate by 0.3% to 50.9%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Xerath and Galio that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Galio has a much lower diffuclty than Xerath. That means Xerath players don't need to be careful when arranging Galio comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working together, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Together, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Although, by aligning Xerath and Galio together, you will not be providing your other teammates enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Galio ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
