Janna vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Deny Alistar's engage by controlling brush and holding (Q) for his (W)+(Q) combo.
Prioritize shielding and peeling for your ADC to survive his all-in windows.
Use lane space and vision to limit his flank angles and protect ADC access.

Trading pattern

Shield your ADC's key trades and hold (Q) to interrupt Alistar's engage attempts.
Use (W) slows only when you can safely back out to avoid overcommitment.
Deny brush access to reduce his engage angles and create safer poke windows for your ADC.

Danger windows

(W)+(Q) combo at level 2 threatens instant all-ins when brush is uncontrolled.
His (E) stun at level 3 increases lockdown risk; respect his cooldowns before stepping forward.
Post-level 6, his (R) lets him ignore burst and tower dive; keep vision and peel ready.

Early game

Track level 2 closely to match (W)+(Q) engage with your (Q) knockup.
Hold brush control to prevent his surprise engages and secure safer ADC trades.
Coordinate with your ADC to avoid extended fights when (Q) is down and Alistar threatens all-in.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (Q)+(E) shield and disengage; use it to counter his all-in threat.
Level 3 completes your peel kit; leverage brush control and cooldown tracking to protect ADC.
Level 6 (R) enables fight resets; use it to disrupt Alistar's committed engages and save your ADC.

Win conditions

Convert brush denial and (Q) threat into safer ADC poke and wave control.
Roam after wave crashes only when ADC is safe and river vision denies Alistar's counter-roams.
Use (R) to reset fights and enable your scaling ADC to outlast Alistar's all-in attempts.

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