Alistar
Champions that beat Alistar
- Bardsupport
Alistar commits on a Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) flip. Tempered Fate (R) lands point-and-click on him right after he W's onto the ADC — he freezes in stasis while the ADC walks out for free, and Unbreakable Will (R) is wasted.
- Jannasupport
Monsoon (R) cancels the Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) combo mid-air — the channel pushes Alistar off the ADC before Pulverize lands. Eye of the Storm (E) shield mitigates the burst Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction would normally tank.
- Leonasupport
Zenith Blade (E) dash-stun lands before Alistar can reach Pulverize (Q) range. Solar Flare (R) catches him mid Headbutt (W) and Shield of Daybreak (Q) chains an extra stun — Alistar eats the engage, Leona does not eat his.
- Lulusupport
Whimsy (W) polymorph cancels Headbutt (W) mid-dash and turns Alistar into a critter for 1.5 seconds. Help, Pix! (E) shields the ADC through Pulverize (Q) and Wild Growth (R) knocks him off the engage commit.
- Morganasupport
Dark Binding (Q) lands at 1300 range during Headbutt (W) windup, rooting Alistar inside his own dash. Black Shield (E) absorbs Pulverize (Q) knock-up entirely, and Tormented Shadow (W) pool out-pokes his short kit at 900 range.
- Poppysupport
Alistar's Headbutt is a dash that Steadfast Presence cancels mid-air — he lands grounded, slowed, and unable to chain Pulverize knock-up combo. Trample stack damage cannot proc through the disengage,
- Vel'Kozsupport
Alistar Pulverize (Q) is melee-range and Headbutt (W) is 650, both shorter than Vel'Koz Plasma Fission (Q) 1050. Vel'Koz pokes him down before he can Flash-engage and Tectonic Disruption (E) knock-up interrupts his walk-up before Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction activates.
Champions Alistar beats
- Blitzcranksupport
After a successful Rocket Grab (Q), Alistar can Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) the pulled ADC out of the chain crowd control. The pull does not commit the kill, so the 16-20s Q cooldown becomes a punish window with Unbreakable Will (R) up.
- Caitlynbot
Pulverize (Q) is point-and-click and 90 Caliber Net (E) is on a 16s cooldown. Alistar Headbutts (W) into her, knocks her up, and Trample (E) stacks finish her well before Ace in the Hole (R) channels to safety.
- Hweisupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) combos a dash and an AOE knockup that interrupt Hwei's spell sequence mid-cast. Hwei needs three button presses to lock a target, and Alistar's single engage deletes that window; Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction tanks the Signature detonation.
- Ivernsupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) flash-engages the ADC and stuns through Triggerseed (E) shield before Ivern can land Rootcaller (Q). Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction tanks the Daisy! (R) slam burst during the chain.
- Maokaisupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) combo peels the carry out of Maokai's AOE follow-up before Sapling Toss (E) lands and Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction soaks the W root burst. Triumphant Roar (P) heal restocks ADC HP between Sap Magic (P) trades.
- Nautilussupport
Alistar engages on Nautilus while Dredge Line (Q) is on cooldown — Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) combo knocks Nautilus out of position before his terrain-pull triggers. Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction soaks his Riptide (E) plus Depth Charge (R) follow-up entirely.
- Neekosupport
Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction shrugs Tangle-Barbs (E) root burst and Pop Blossom (R) AOE damage. Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) combo knocks Neeko out of Shapesplitter (W) clone bait windup and Triumphant Roar (P) heal sustains trades.
- Rakansupport
Alistar's Pulverize plus Headbutt combo knocks Rakan off the W trajectory before The Quickness comes online, cancelling the engage entirely. Trample stack damage during the knock-up chain shreds Rakan's low HP,
- Sennasupport
Headbutt (W) into Pulverize (Q) dives past Senna's 600 Piercing Darkness (Q) range and chains knock-back plus knock-up before she can cast Last Embrace (W). Unbreakable Will (R) ignores her auto damage during the dive entirely.
- Shacosupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) chain is uncancellable once it starts, and Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction window shrugs off Two-Shiv Poison (E) burst entirely. Shaco has no shield or peel to soak the bot-lane stun chain back.
- Sorakasupport
Soraka has only Equinox (E) silence as soft CC and Astral Infusion (W) drains her own HP. Alistar's W-Q chain knocks her up before she can root, and the Trample (E) stacks delete her through Wish (R) global heal.
- Tahm Kenchsupport
Headbutt (W) plus Pulverize (Q) displaces the ADC out of Devour (R) save range. Trample (E) channel beats the Tongue Lash (Q) 3-stack stun windup before he ramps the An Acquired Taste passive damage.
- Veigarsupport
Headbutt (W) into Pulverize (Q) combo flings Veigar out of his Event Horizon (E) center to a side wall, denying the cage stun trigger. Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction tanks Primordial Burst (R) burst and Triumphant Roar passive heals Alistar through any retaliation.
- Zyrasupport
Zyra has no dash and Grasping Roots (E) is a slow line skillshot. A Trample (E) channel ramped on minions plus a flash plus Pulverize (Q) on top of her deletes her before Stranglethorns (R) plant burst lands.
