Helia Alistar Build

1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
2. You play aggressively, dealing damage to get Echoes of Helia stacks and spend them as soon as you can.
3. More damage means more Helia procs, which means more healing. Raw damage items outperform heal and shield power support items.

1. This is an off-meta and very fun build that works on ANY champion with mana - even those without healing or shielding abilities! All thanks to Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo.
2. With Diadem of Songs + Echoes of Helia combo, you can continuously heal your team while dealing damage.
3. Play aggressively, stack Echoes of Helia and heal! More damage = more Helia stacks = more healing.

Core items

1. Start with Tear of the Goddess and try stacking it ASAP. Get Echoes of Helia #1, then Diadem of Songs #2.
2. Core order: Echoes of Helia -> Diadem of Songs -> Liandry's Torment. If you are stacking Tear very slowly, get Liandry's before Diadem.
3. Heal and shield power items and traditional support items are less effective than raw damage - you literally heal more with Helia by dealing damage.

Buffing your team

1. Ardent Censer is worth it if you have auto attackers on your team (ADCs, auto-attack bruisers). It will trigger often enough to be good buy.
2. Bandlepipes is a good item that gives MS and buffs your allies Attack Speed when you slow/immobilize enemies. Good for your auto attackers.
3. Staff of Flowing Water is great if you have AP champions on your team. You'll be proccing it frequently with your support abilities.

Damage items

1. Once you have your core items, look for Ability Haste and for raw damage.

Runes

1. Alternatively you can take Summon Aery rune. On enchanters, Aery's shield directly procs Helia. On non-enchanters, it contributes to damage output to stack Helia faster.

Adaptation

1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong.
2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption and/or Locket of the Iron Solari.
3. If you cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!).
4. Remember to counter the enemy team. If they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

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.

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.
