Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through sustain, poke with Q, and ability to disengage Alistar combos with your W movement speed.
- Post-6 your R provides massive team fight utility that can completely negate Alistar's engage potential while healing your team.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke Smolder when he steps up to farm, and immediately W Caitlyn when Alistar attempts engages to provide movement speed and cleanse potential CC.
- Focus on maintaining healthy mana for crucial W and R usage rather than constant Q spam.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming as your presence is crucial for preventing Alistar all-ins and your sustain keeps Caitlyn healthy for lane dominance.
- Only consider roaming if the wave is in a very safe position and you can quickly return to prevent dives.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W on minor poke as you need it available to counter Alistar's engage attempts.
- Avoid positioning where Alistar can W-Q both you and Caitlyn simultaneously, as this negates your ability to provide immediate assistance.
