Use


Position yourself so that

Later on you can also do it in the opposite way, by that you get a super fast push. Sometimes it's hard to hit all minions with everything, you have to adapt to their positions!
Try to catch your opponent by going in with

When you force him base once, you will always push before him and can roam while he is farming. That will tilt him and his team!
when being ganked or chased, use


Use a
Control Ward in river or side lane bush so after pushing lane, when you leave mid lane, they won't know where you are going! Always look for
Hero's Entrance opportunities and don't be scared to dive the enemy, as long as you got backup from your jungler. Sometimes it's just enough to pretend to go for a dive and damage their tower instead!
(Note Patch 9.19: Since you can't flash while chanelling
Shield of Durand anymore, the combo options are far less. If riot changes this back in the future I will update the combo session back to as it was before with the Flash combos)
Lets go to the Combos now, there are a lot and I will try to point out when which one is best, as they all have a situation where they are the best to use! I made this whole information up for myself over the time I played
Galio and don't worry, for me it was also confusing in the beginning:
1. Fast Combo: When you don't want your enemy to be able to
Flash or jump away, this is a short cc chain with burst dmg.
E AA Q W AA
2. Full Combo: When you need more dmg than the fast combo provides and got time for it.
E AA channel-W Q AA
3. High Damage Combo: This is the most damage you can deal in one combo, though it's only possible if you can get onto the enemy while charging
Shield of Durand. Either by having a good flank or with the help of your team you will be able to pull this off.
W W AA E Q
Use
Justice Punch backwards as you will hit the enemy on the little jump back, you safe a lot of time with that. You can also use that to dodge skill shots!
