Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, headshot trading, and Nami's sustain negating their all-in attempts.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage but must respect Alistar's R engage potential and play around trap placement for safety.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q poke when Kai'Sa steps up to farm, then follow with headshot auto when she retreats.
- Your optimal pattern involves placing traps to zone Alistar while maintaining maximum range for consistent headshot harassment.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves constantly to deny Kai'Sa farm and create recall timings that favor your superior range.
- Focus on building slow pushes that crash when you want to recall or when your jungler can dive.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never step within Alistar's W-Q range without trap protection or Nami's disengage available.
- Avoid using Q carelessly for waveclear when Alistar has engage cooldowns up, as this removes your primary trading tool.
