Zilean vs Alistar

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to deny Alistar's engage angles and protect ADC access.
Enable your ADC with (E) speed to kite or follow up on Alistar's knockups.
Control wave state to create bomb zones that punish Alistar's approach or missteps.

Trading pattern

Set double bombs on slowed targets or wave to zone Alistar and enable ADC trades.
Hold (R) to deny burst or all-in attempts, forcing Alistar to hesitate.
Deny brush access to reduce Alistar's knockup angles and bait his engage cooldowns.

Danger windows

Respect (W)+(Q) combo when brush control is lost and ADC follow-up is ready.
Avoid standing near brush without vision, as Alistar's engage range spikes there.
Track (R) cooldown to prevent tower dives or extended all-ins on your ADC.

Early game

Track level 2 closely, contest brush control to prevent (W)+(Q) all-in.
Hold wave near your tower to keep ADC safe from Alistar's engage range.
Use early poke and bomb zones to force Alistar back before he can flank.

Power spikes

Level 2: Your (Q)+(E) combo enables strong poke and kiting before Alistar's full engage.
Level 3: (W) doubles bomb threat, increasing zone control and peel potential.
Level 6: (R) revive forces Alistar to hold burst or swap targets, shifting all-in threat.

Win conditions

Convert bomb zone control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC trades.
Use (E) speed to enable ADC follow-up or disengage during Alistar's engage cooldowns.
Ward river and tri-brush to spot Alistar roams and set up favorable dragon fights.
