Galio Item Build
AP LOADOUT · GALIOGalio traps nearby enemies inside Idol of Durand, forcing them to attack while storing concussive energy from each hit for the burst that follows. Resolute Smite slows enemies near its impact point, and Righteous Gust leaves allies a faster route through the fight. These builds map how Runic Skin converts magic resistance into ability power.
This is the primary Galio for the mid lane, built around magic resist and ability power. Runic Skin (P) turns magic resist into ability power, so Abyssal Scepter and Shushei's Mana Jug add both defense and damage. Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff scale his spells, and Zhonya's Hourglass gives a stall after Idol of Durand (R). Mercury's Treads add magic resist and reduce crowd control.

AP Galio Build
APGalio buys defense and gets damage back, because 
Runic Skin turns half of his total Magic Resistance into Ability Power. 
Abyssal Scepter opens the core for that reason, giving both stats at once and shaving 20 Magic Resist from enemies standing near him.
Shushei's Mana Jug follows with more of the same pair plus 20% cooldown reduction, so 
Resolute Smite, maxed first, comes back often enough to wear the lane down from 900 range. 
Mercury's Treads add Magic Resist of their own while shortening the crowd control aimed at him.
Rabadon's Deathcap raises the total that conversion produces, and 
Zhonya's Hourglass is bought for the moment after 
Idol of Durand, when he bursts out of the statue still surrounded by the people he taunted. 
Void Staff closes the build so his spells ignore 35% of the target's Magic Resist.
AP Tank Galio Build
