Notes

  1. Updated for League of Legends Patch 14.1

How it works

  1. You play Support who goes tanky.

How to play

  1. Identify your role within the team (engage, peel, frontline)
  2. If your team needs engage, go Trailblazer and Shurelya's Battlesong
  3. If your team needs peel, go Knight's Vow and Locket of the Iron Solari.
  4. Knight's Vow is a surprisingly good item. Buy it and use it if you have carry or bruiser/fighter who is doing well.
  5. 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.
  6. Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Trick #1 (the simplest combo possible): W + Q together, so you gap close with W and knock up immediately with Q.
  2. Trick #2: Q first, then Flash right away to your target to insta stun them. This way you can insta CC unsuspecting enemies.
  3. Trick #3: W to the minion, Q (not in mid air, wait for W to end), then Flash right away to your target. You will insta stun them.
  4. Do not wait to be at low health to use R! More HP you have, more effective it is.
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.
