Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win trades with superior range, Q poke, and Soraka sustain backing you up, but post-6 you lose all-ins if Alistar lands engage due to their burst potential.
- Your W becomes crucial for escaping Alistar's engage range after level 6.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and zone while weaving autos with passive true damage, then W away when Alistar looks for engage.
- Focus on short trades with auto-Q-auto patterns while Soraka sustains you, avoiding extended fights where Kai'Sa can stack her passive.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves with Q and R to keep Alistar from roaming, but maintain safe positioning near your tower.
- Look to freeze when ahead to deny Kai'Sa farm while staying safe from all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W aggressively for trades when Alistar is looking for engage opportunities.
- Avoid fighting in close quarters where Kai'Sa can easily land isolated Q damage and Alistar can follow up with his combo.
