Vel'Koz vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use long-range (Q) poke angles to deny Alistar's engage from brush.
Hold (E) for peel to protect ADC against (W)+(Q) combo.
Control river vision to limit Alistar's roaming and flank opportunities.

Trading pattern

Use split (Q) and (W) poke layered with slows to zone Alistar and his ADC.
Hold (E) to interrupt or peel after Alistar uses (W)+(Q) engage.
Avoid using (E) for poke when Alistar's engage cooldowns are up to prevent vulnerability.

Danger windows

Alistar's level 2 (W)+(Q) combo with ADC follow-up threatens instant all-in.
Brush control loss increases risk of surprise engages and ADC access denial.
Alistar's level 6 (R) enables tanky tower dives and extended fights; respect positioning.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and avoid fighting if ADC cannot follow Alistar's engage.
Deny brush control to reduce Alistar's knockup threat and engage angles.
Use wave pressure to keep ADC safe and create poke windows before Alistar commits.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) poke plus (E) knockup; use this to contest brush and pressure.
Level 3 full kit enables safer poke and peel; use brush control to force Alistar back.
Level 6 (R) burst can punish Alistar's engage if ADC follow-up is confirmed.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into ADC access denial and force Alistar off brush.
Ward river and tri-brush to track Alistar's roam timer and secure dragon setup.
Use (R) with ADC follow-up to finish fights or peel during key objective contests.

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