Hwei vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use long-range poke and (E) CC to control brush and deny Alistar's engage angles.
Prioritize ADC access by zoning Alistar from brush and forcing him to use (W)+(Q) without follow-up.
Maintain river vision to track Alistar's roam attempts and protect your ADC during wave crashes.

Trading pattern

Hold (E) defensive CC to interrupt (W)+(Q) engage and protect your ADC.
Use poke to force Alistar's engage cooldowns, then punish his reduced threat window.
Deny brush and flank angles to limit Alistar's ability to initiate without ADC follow-up.

Danger windows

(W)+(Q) combo with ADC follow-up in brush creates high burst threat.
Level 2 and 3 when Alistar gains full engage and stun access; respect his cooldowns.
When (R) is available, he can ignore burst and dive your ADC under turret.

Early game

Win the level 2 race by poking before Alistar can combo (W)+(Q) with his ADC.
Deny Alistar brush control early to reduce his engage threat and create safer poke windows.
Coordinate wave crashes with your ADC to enable safe roams or vision setup around dragon.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(Q) combo becomes a strong all-in threat; avoid overextending without ADC support.
Level 3: Unlock full spellbook options to flexibly poke, shield, or root based on Alistar's engage.
Level 6: Your (R) enables powerful all-ins or disengages; track (R) to avoid extended fights.

Win conditions

Convert poke and brush denial into ADC access and forced recalls for dragon vision control.
Use level 6 (R) to initiate or peel in sync with your ADC for decisive 2v2 fights.
Roam after wave crashes with vision control to pressure mid and secure objective setups safely.
