How it works

General

  1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
  2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
  3. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell, items and abilities.
  4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

Playstyle

  1. ⚔️ Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.
  2. 💥 Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.
  3. 🛡️ Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.

How to play

General

  1. Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
  3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Trick #1 (the simplest combo possible): Headbutt (W) + Pulverize (Q) together, so you gap close with W and knock up immediately with Q.
  2. Trick #2: Pulverize (Q) first, then during animation use Flash right away to your target to insta stun them. This way you can insta CC unsuspecting enemies.
  3. Trick #3: Headbutt (W) to the minion, Pulverize (Q) (not in mid air, wait for W to end), then Flash right away to your target. You will insta stun them.
  4. Trick #4: You can CC for longer, if you first Headbutt (W) enemy into wall (it stuns them), then Pulverize (Q) them instead of jut doing W+Q.
  5. Trick #5: You can use Headbutt (W) to escape. Just W to a minion or enemy champion that is far away.
  6. Trick #6: If you Flash at the very end of the animation of Headbutt (W), you will cancel the ability.
  7. Your Unbreakable Will (R) is most effective when you are high HP. Pop it at the beginning of the fight, do not wait to be low hp, unless you are expecting to remove some crucial CC.

Riot

  1. Using Pulverize can allow you to establish better positioning for Headbutt.
  2. Move Speed is very important on Alistar. Consider which boots to buy carefully.
  3. Using Flash can allow you catch your target off guard to knock them back into your allies with Pulverize and Headbutt.
