Yuumi vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Attach to your ADC to maximize healing and poke, reducing Alistar's engage threat.
Deny Alistar brush control to limit his (W)+(Q) engage angles and protect ADC access.
Use (R) to root and disrupt Alistar's all-ins, enabling safer extended fights and ADC follow-up.

Trading pattern

Stay attached to your ADC, poke with (Q), and heal with (E) to sustain through Alistar's engage windows.
Hold (R) to root during (W)+(Q) combo or tower dives, enabling your ADC to follow up.
Avoid detaching near brush or when Alistar's engage cooldowns are up to reduce CC risk.

Danger windows

When (W)+(Q) combo is off cooldown and brush is uncontrolled, your ADC is vulnerable to engage.
Level 2 and 3 spikes when Alistar gains CC and displacement, increasing kill threat if your ADC is overextended.
Alistar's ultimate (R) enables tanky tower dives; respect this by keeping your ADC safe and ready to disengage.

Early game

Track level 2 closely and avoid detaching unless your ADC can safely follow poke.
Hold brush vision and deny Alistar flanks to prevent surprise (W)+(Q) engages.
Keep wave near your tower early to minimize Alistar's engage range and protect ADC positioning.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your (E) sustain activates; use it to outlast Alistar's initial (W)+(Q) threat.
Level 3: Full kit enables safer poke and peel, increasing ADC follow-up potential against Alistar's engage.
Level 6: (R) roots create extended fight control, crucial for countering Alistar's all-in and tower dive attempts.

Win conditions

Use (R) to lock down Alistar during extended fights, enabling your ADC to secure kills.
Deny Alistar brush control and maintain river vision to prevent his flanks and roams.
Crash waves with your ADC before roaming to ensure lane safety and set up dragon vision and objective control.
