Who Wins
- Pre-6: Aphelios + Alistar wins through superior range control and Alistar's engage threat limiting your hook angles.
- Post-6: The matchup becomes more skill-dependent as your R combined with Tristana's burst can match Alistar's engage, but they still hold slight advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to interrupt Alistar's W+Q combo, then immediately Q the displaced target for follow-up.
- Save your lantern for Tristana's aggressive W engages or to help her escape Alistar's all-ins.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Tristana has wave control and can safely farm under tower, typically after successful recalls or when enemy bot is low.
- Best timings are when Alistar backs or when you have vision of enemy jungler elsewhere.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on Alistar when he has W available - he'll just combo away and waste your engage window.
- Focus hooks on Aphelios or wait for Alistar to use abilities on Tristana first.
