Key Insights

  • On cast,
    Unbreakable WillR
    cleanses Alistar of ALL crowd control.
  • TrampleE
    will only stack if an enemy champion is being damaged by it.
  • Triumphant RoarP
    's heal is doubled for nearby allied champions.
  • PulverizeQ
    can be used during
    HeadbuttW
    to cancel its knockback and instead knock up the enemies in the AoE.

Strengths

  • Excels at roaming with his CC tools as well as turret diving and frontlining with
    Unbreakable WillR
    .
  • Has a very strong level 2/3 with
    HeadbuttW
    +
    PulverizeQ
    .
  • HeadbuttW
    can be used into a thick wall to hold a target in place rather than knock them back, allowing Alistar to extend his CC chain.
  • Strong with items boosting durability and support utility.

Weaknesses

  • PulverizeQ
    and
    HeadbuttW
    both have a 14 second cooldown at rank 1. Once used, he can be punished.
  • HeadbuttW
    +
    PulverizeQ
    combo can be dodged with mobility spells.
  • Very weak at level 1 since he only has access to either
    PulverizeQ
    or
    HeadbuttW
    when his combo needs both, and can be heavily punished during this time.
