Imperial Mandate Alistar Build

1. You play as a Lockdown Tank: immobilizing enemies, disrupting fights and soaking damage.
2. Your core offensive utility item is Imperial Mandate. Then you build tanky and adapt.
3. Your game is about initiating fights, locking down targets with CC to make them 6% Vulnerable, and soaking damage.

Imperial Mandate

1. Your Headbutt (W) + Pulverize (Q) combo and Trample (E) stun and immobilize enemies, proccing Imperial Mandate debuff for extra dmg from you and your team.
2. You get extra Ability Haste on Pulverize (Q), Headbutt (W) and Trample (E).

Getting started

1. Invoke chaos in teamfights. Engage with CC, lock down key targets to make them Vulnerable, and soak incoming damage.

Items

1. Your core utility item is Imperial Mandate. It gives 15 Ability Haste to your immobilizing abilities and marks immobilized enemies as 6% Vulnerable for 4 seconds.
• Zeke's Convergence - grants armor, MR, and adds AoE damage and slow after casting your ultimate.
• Randuin's Omen - great for engagements to slow the entire enemy team and counter critical strikes.
2. Or you can just go tanky
3. You can go some support items as well in some cases, like Ardent Censer if you got a lot of auto attackers on your team.

Runes

1. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment.
2. Your CC triggers Font of Life and Imperial Mandate, healing allies and amplifying their damage against immobilized targets.
3. Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer. So you can go these items if you want to be a support.

Game

1. Don't be afraid to engage! You can get Randuin's Omen and Zeke's Convergence for really powerful engagements with AoE disruption!
• Helping this pattern of engage is Warmog's Armor. Engage, sow chaos, soak some damage and get back to heal fully.
2. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

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.
