Who Wins
- You win pre-6 when Alistar lands combos since your E and Q follow-up outdamages Karma's shield and Smolder's weak early game.
- Post-6 your advantage increases significantly as your R combined with Alistar's lockdown creates unavoidable kill pressure.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through low-health minions to harass Smolder when he's farming, and immediately follow any Alistar W-Q with E to maximize damage and zone enemies.
- Your strongest trades occur when you can position for clean Q bounces while Alistar zones with his presence.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves aggressively early to deny Smolder stacks and create opportunities for Alistar all-ins when enemies are overextended.
- After level 6, look to freeze near your tower when ahead to set up easy R angles in the long lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste E for waveclear when Alistar is looking for engages, as you need the slow and damage for combo follow-up.
- Avoid using R without Alistar's crowd control setup, as good positioning from Karma can completely negate your ultimate damage.
