Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, sustain, and disengage tools that counter their all-in potential.
- Post-6 you maintain control but must respect Alistar's R making him harder to peel off your ADC.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W bounces to harass while healing Caitlyn, and save Q for when Alistar attempts W-Q combos.
- Your optimal pattern involves E-empowered Caitlyn headshots while maintaining safe positioning for disengage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming as your presence is crucial for preventing Alistar engages and maintaining lane control.
- Your value comes from enabling Caitlyn's dominance rather than creating plays elsewhere.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste Q for poke when Alistar has engage cooldowns available, as this removes your primary disengage tool.
- Avoid positioning where Alistar can W-Q you directly, as getting caught means losing your ADC.
