Alistar into Hweimedium

Overview

Control brush to threaten engages with + and ensure ADC follow-up.
Prioritize protecting ADC from Hwei's long-range poke and CC to maintain lane presence.
Use river vision and wave state to enable safe roams and objective setups.

Commit to + engages only when ADC is ready to follow up immediately.
Punish Hwei's ADC access when their CC or poke cooldowns are down.
Hold engage cooldowns if ADC is too far back or wave size blocks safe all-in angles.

Respect Hwei's CC choice and avoid engaging when crowd control is available.
Beware of Hwei's level 6 ultimate window for burst poke or all-in setups.
Avoid overextending if ADC is out of position or + is on cooldown to prevent punish.

Level 2 unlocks + combo; use it to force early lane dominance and ADC access.
Level 3 adds stun, increasing engage threat; leverage brush control for strong trades.
Level 6 boosts tankiness for tower dives and extended fights; coordinate engages with ADC and jungler.

Convert brush control into denying Hwei's ADC poke angles and positioning.
Use level 2 and 3 all-in windows with ADC follow-up to build lane advantage.
Coordinate level 6 engages with ADC and jungler to secure kills and set up dragon vision.
