Who Wins
- You struggle pre-6 against Alistar's engage potential since polymorph alone can't stop coordinated dives with Aphelios follow-up damage.
- Post-6 remains challenging as your R knockup provides some disengage but Alistar's engage tools are more reliable than your peel in this matchup.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W polymorph reactively to stop Alistar's W-Q combo rather than proactively, and focus E shields on Yunara when she's taking poke damage.
- Prioritize Q poke on Aphelios when he steps up for CS, as he's squishier than Alistar and more vulnerable to your harass.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming unless Yunara is extremely safe, as leaving her alone against Alistar-Aphelios dive potential is too risky.
- Your value comes from keeping Yunara alive through laning phase rather than making plays elsewhere on the map.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste polymorph on Aphelios unless he's diving, as Alistar's engage is the primary threat you need to answer.
- Avoid using R offensively for trades since you need it available to counter their all-in potential and keep Yunara alive.
