Trading pattern

Seed brush and threaten (E) roots to zone Alistar and enable ADC poke follow-up.
Hold (R) for committed fights after Alistar commits (W)+(Q) to punish his engage.
Avoid missing (E) roots before Alistar's engage cooldown resets to maintain lane safety.

Early game

Win or contest the level 2 root race to punish (W)+(Q) engage with ADC follow-up.
Deny Alistar brush control early to limit his knockup angles and reduce enemy ADC threat.

Level 3 strengthens seed control, enhancing brush denial and enabling safer poke and peel.
Level 6 (R) turns Alistar's all-ins into zone control fights, increasing your peel and ADC protection.

Win conditions
