Alistar vs Nautilus

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (W)+(Q) engages and force Nautilus to respect.
Coordinate engages with ADC follow-up from brush for effective all-ins.
Maintain river vision to secure roam windows and objective setup.

Trading pattern

Hold brush and threaten (W)+(Q) only when ADC can immediately follow knockup.
Punish missed (Q) by stepping forward to disrupt Nautilus's engage angle.
Avoid engaging into large waves or when (W)+(Q) are on cooldown to prevent losing trades.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook plus passive root combo when he controls brush and is level 2 or higher.
Avoid stepping into Nautilus hook range without vision or ADC support to prevent forced all-ins.
Be cautious when (W)+(Q) are down, as engage threat and peel drop significantly.

Early game

Fight for level 2 to unlock (W)+(Q) combo with ADC ready to follow.
Hold brush and thin waves to deny Nautilus hook angles and punish his positioning.
Avoid using (W) before confirming engage or peel need to keep threat unpredictable.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo, enabling strong all-ins with ADC follow-up; control brush to maximize.
Level 3 adds (E) stun, increasing trade threat and peel potential; use full kit around brush control.
Level 6 (R) boosts durability for tower dives and extended fights; coordinate with ADC for dives or peel.

Win conditions

Deny Nautilus ADC access through brush control and punish his cooldowns to limit engage.
Use (W)+(Q) engages from brush with ADC follow-up to secure kills or force enemy recalls.
Leverage level 6 (R) for safe tower dives or peeling carries in extended fights to snowball advantage.

Tip: For Alistar vs Nautilus, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
