Who Wins

  • You lose level 2 fights heavily due to low damage and Alistar's crowd control.
  • At level 6, you're still weak but can start trading better if you have 25+ stacks and proper positioning.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on last-hitting and stacking while letting Karma poke for you early game.
  • Only trade when Alistar abilities are on cooldown or when Karma can shield your return damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Freeze the wave near your tower early to farm safely and prevent Alistar engages.
  • Push only when you have vision and Karma can roam, or when you need to recall.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't greed for stacks when Alistar has engage tools available as you'll lose more than you gain.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes without Karma since Vayne can condemn you into walls for easy kills.
