Galio vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to threaten short-range engage and protect ADC from (W)+(Q) combo.
Deny Alistar brush control to limit his knockup angles and reduce enemy ADC follow-up.
Push or hold neutral waves to create roam windows and leverage (R) for side fights or dragon setup.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and passive for short trades, holding (W) and (E) to punish Alistar stepping too close.
Hold (W) taunt to peel for ADC when Alistar commits with (W)+(Q).
Deny brush access to reduce Alistar's engage threat and create safer ADC follow-up windows.

Danger windows

(W)+(Q) combo with ADC follow-up threatens kills when brush control is lost.
Alistar level 6 (R) enables tower dives and extended all-ins; avoid overcommit without your (R).
Enemy ADC positioned to follow Alistar engages increases risk; maintain peel and vision to mitigate.

Early game

Contest level 2 to avoid (W)+(Q) all-in with ADC follow-up.
Hold brush vision and deny Alistar flank angles to protect ADC access.
Crash wave with ADC before roaming to prevent Alistar from isolating your ADC.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) engage; respect this by not overextending without ADC support.
Level 6 (R) greatly increases your map impact; use it for defensive resets or counter-engage.
First durability or AP utility item boosts your short trade safety and roam potential.

Win conditions

Convert brush denial into safer ADC positioning and forced enemy respect.
Roam with (R) after wave crash to impact mid or secure dragon vision.
Use (W) and (E) to peel and enable your ADC's damage during enemy all-ins or skirmishes.

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