Item Build Description
Additional information on the items
We will discuss two available builds, each one with a different goal.
The first one will be the body guard, and will be used to mostly defend your team. Start with
Boots of Speed
and upgrade them accordingly based on the stats you need, while taking [locket enchant] to provide more shields for your team.
After that, continue with items such as
Dead Man's Plate
for faster roams,
Zeke's Convergence
to boost allies damage,
Protector's Vow
to provide your team with shields,
Abyssal Mask
to enchance their magic damage and
Frozen Heart
to slow AS of enemies.
The second one will be focused on making you a tank that will be able to carry more then to protect (Alistar+carry = Calistar). For that, we will start with
Ruby Crystal
and try to go for
Sunfire Aegis
as a second item to provide damage. In this build, you will be replacing
Protector's Vow
with [thronmail] and willl also take
Protobelt Enchant
for surprise and faster engages.
The core item in the calistar build is
Sunfire Aegis
so do make sure to adjust some of your items if the situation demands it. Make sure that they are HP based items, as the more HP you have, the greater your damage will be.
Alistar Runes
Best Runes for Alistar
Aftershock
and
Weakness
are probably runes your gonna want on
Alistar
most of the time, as they provide tankiness and damage for your team. I like
Second Wind
especially during the early game since it will allow you to take punishment easier because your health will regenerate.
Pathfinder
will help you roam and engage easier, so I would take that as well.

Combos
Learn how to maximize the champions potential
Your basic engage and main form of getting into fights.
When going for an all-in, try to use
Trample
before your combo as you will start stacking your stun faster.
You can use this to knock-up enemies while keeping your
Headbutt
to seperate one enemy from his team.
You can also use
Protobelt Enchant
to close gaps quicker.
Alistar Matchups & Counters
Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters
If he hooks someone, you can just dash into him to save your teammate. If he hooks you, use
Unbreakable Will
to break free and knock-up his entire team!
Unbreakable
Noxian Guillotine
Arcane Shift
Monsoon
How to not get milked
1. You are one of the most useless level 1 champions in the game, so don't be agressive during that time and avoid early trades.
2. When engaging on lane, make sure the enemy jungle is not nearby, as you lack disengage and he might be around to turn the fight against you.
3.If the enemy is standing close to your turret, use [flash] and [alistar:1] together to knock them up, then walk behind them and use
Headbutt
to knock them into your turret.
4.During teamfights, try to engage on the hero with the least defense and mobility, as he will be the easiest to take down.
5.Try to not save your ult when you engage, as the damage reduction might keep you healthy enough after your ult expires, allowing you to continue fighting.
6.If you have
Dead Man's Plate
, try to look for enemies who are overextending, as you can help your laners take them down with ease.
7.Be sure to drink lots of milk to keep those muscles big :)
