Who Wins
- You're vulnerable pre-6 to Alistar's engage due to lack of mobility, making this a losing 2v2 until you get items and Q stacks.
- Post-6 your R transforms the matchup by giving you E dash to escape Alistar combos and permanent Q stacks for sustained damage, but you still need to respect their burst potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W poke to harass while staying at maximum range, and only auto-attack for Q stacks when Alistar is positioned poorly for engage.
- During R, use your upgraded W laser for heavy poke and save E dash as an escape tool rather than gap-closer unless guaranteed kill.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely and scaling rather than pushing aggressively, as Alistar punishes overextension severely.
- Look to freeze waves near your tower where you can stack Q safely and force them to overextend for trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't greed for Q stacks on minions when Alistar has W-Q available, as the engage threat outweighs the stacking benefit.
- Avoid using R aggressively for trades unless you're certain you can secure kills, as the 15-second window is your only safety net against their engage.
