Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to Sivir's E blocking your E engage and Alistar's disengage tools making extended trades impossible.
- Post-6 you win if you can land E on Sivir since your R provides lockdown that Alistar cannot immediately counter.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E engages when Sivir's E is down or when she's forced to use it for waveclear, then follow with Q-W-R combo while Caitlyn follows up with headshot and traps.
- Your best windows are when Sivir steps up to auto-push waves or when Alistar is out of position.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should never roam in this matchup as Caitlyn needs protection from Alistar engages and your presence is required to threaten Sivir when her spellshield is down.
- Focus on vision control around your lane and look for picks when enemies overextend.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage without confirming Sivir's E is on cooldown or you'll waste your entire combo on a spellshield.
- Avoid fighting in minion waves where Sivir can bounce Q damage and heal off W ricochets.
