Alistar is another Tank-Support Champion that you can play in Wild Rift aside from Blitzcrank and Malphite. Alistar’s main strengths are his armor and CC combos. This Champion can easily be the initiator in team fights as he can pull off a perfect ambush. Now, to get a better grasp of this Champion, make sure to check out this build guide by Dunia Games.

1. Item Build

[Winter's Approach]

The first item you want to buy is Winter's Approach. This item grants you bonus armor equal to 1% max mana and restores 15% of mana spent. As for its other effects, it also offers a charge (up to 3 charges) every 4 seconds.

With each charge used with basic attacks or a skill, you will get up to 8 mana (to a maximum of 700 mana). Once it reaches 700 mana, the item will transform into Fimbulwinter.

[Mercury Treads]

For his boots, you can purchase Mercury Treads for Alistar. This item offers additional magic resistance as well as a reduced Crowd Control duration of 30%, which helps a lot when you’re being targeted by the opposing team. 

With shorter CC duration, you can lend your hand to your teammates faster.

[Protector's Vow]

The next item you want to get for Alistar is the Protector's Vow. Since Alistar is a Support Champion, he’s going to need a supporting item to protect the Carry in critical situations. 

By using the Protector's Vow, a nearby ally and Alistar will receive 125 Shield and 20% bonus movement speed for 1.5s if hit by an attack from an enemy, monster, or turret. This item also offers an additional 40 armor, 10% cooldown reduction, and 350 HP.

[Zeke's Convergence]

Next, you can get Zeke's Convergence. This item, more or less, works the same way as the Protector's Vow, it also gives buffs for your allies. As for its unique effect, Zeke's Convergence allows Alistar to slow the nearby enemies down by 20% after casting his Ultimate.

Zeke's Convergence also grants your highest AD ally 30% bonus magic damage for their basic attacks as well as burn effect.

[Randuin’s Omen]

Since Marksman Champions in Wild Rift can be totally unstoppable once they get high Attack Speed, to overcome this, you can get Randuin's Omen for 2,800 gold. This item reduces both critical strike damage and Attack Speed of your opponent by 15%.

[Thornmail]

To give Alistar an edge over the enemy Marksman, you can pick Thornmail for his next item. Thornmail grants 75 armor and 200 HP.

And that’s not all. With its Passive, Thornmail also inflicts Grievous Wounds (reduces regen) on the Champions who attack him with Basic Attacks. Making it a perfect item to counter Marksman or Assassins like Master Yi.

[Upgrade Mercury Treads: Gargoyle Enchant]

For his boots upgrade, you can pick Gargoyle Enchant, as it will give Alistar an additional 40% max HP while also reducing damage taken by 60% for 4s after you activated this item. However, if there are 3 or more enemies nearby, it will increase his max HP by 100% instead.

2. Rune

[Aftershock]

For his Keystone, you can pick Aftershock. This Rune will give Alistar bonus armor and magic resistance after casting a CC effect on enemies. After the bonus armor and magic resist run out, Aftershock will generate an explosion that inflicts 12-110 magic damage (based on level) on nearby enemies.

[Weakness]

For his second rune, you may want to get Weakness. Why this rune? Because Alistar has a lot of CCs, both Slow and Stun. For that very reason, the Passive Weakness offers, which gives additional damage to stunned or slowed enemies, will complement him very well.

[Conditioning]

For the next Rune, you can go with Conditioning. This Rune grants him 8 bonus armor and magic resist after 5 minutes of game time. Although it sounds not that significant, it’s really useful when the game progresses to the mid-game phase!

[Pack Hunter]

Last but not least, you should grab Pack Hunter. This Rune grants him an additional 2% bonus Movement Speed when near allies. It also gives him and each ally involved in a Champion takedown a bonus of 50 gold.

3. Spells

[Ignite]

Ignite greatly benefits Alistar in duels. You can use Ignite when the enemy HP is critically low, as it will burn your target with 60-410 true damage (based on level) for 5s -- finishing off your target when they try to escape the team fight.

[Flash]

Flash is a Spell for the people. Almost every Champion uses this Spell to chase down enemies or escape from them. However, this cooldown for Spell is quite long, 150s.

4. Combo

If you’ve never played Alistar before, it might be a bit difficult to pull off his combo. However, you may get better at it if you are willing to spend some time in practice mode. Here’s Alistar’s combo in Wild Rift:

Headbutt (2) -> Pulverize (1)

5. Gameplay

1. If you want to pull off Alistar’s combo properly, make sure you have good reflexes. Quickly cast Pulverize (1) before the target is knocked back by his Headbutt (2);
2. Use the combo only when it’s necessary. For instance, if your target is directly next to you, just use Pulverize (1); or use Pulverize (1) to stop an Assassin from getting too close to your ADC;
3. Use Trample (3) when you are in a crowd to inflict magic damage to the enemies nearby and stun a target.
