Blitzcrank vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and fog to threaten (Q) picks that pull ADC targets into burst damage.
Deny Alistar's brush access to limit his (W)+(Q) engage angles and protect your ADC.
Prioritize ADC follow-up by holding (Q) threat until enemies overextend or lose minion cover.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) longer than Alistar wants, pulling only when minion cover or his escape cooldowns are down.
Avoid throwing (Q) through thick minion waves to maintain hook threat and ADC follow-up potential.
Use (W) chase speed after level 3 to secure pulls and reposition before Alistar can counter-engage.

Danger windows

Respect (W)+(Q) combo from brush or flank angles, especially with ADC ready to follow.
Avoid overextending when (R) is up, enabling durable tower dives or extended fights.
Beware of Alistar's engage range spike at level 2 and level 3 when (E) stun threat activates.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with your ADC to threaten (Q)+(E) all-in before Alistar can combo.
Control bot-side brush to deny Alistar's flank and create safer hook angles.
Coordinate with your ADC to punish Alistar's engage cooldowns by crashing waves and setting vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) all-in threat; contest wave only if ADC can immediately follow up.
Level 3 adds (W) for chase speed, enhancing engage angles and peel timing.
Level 6 (R) silence boosts all-in and peel potential; use with confirmed ADC follow-up and river vision.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) picks into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Roam safely after wave crashes with ADC protected, setting river vision to secure dragon and mid pressure.
Use (Q) threat to create favorable 2v2 fights and objective setups, enabling your ADC's burst damage.
