Their shields answer chip, not cows — combo the carry through the math and trample the apology.
Track: Seraphine's E — Beat Drop (11–9s cooldown). Roots the already-slowed — dodge it and the song never builds.
Read from Alistar's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Seraphine.
This is Alistar's own plan; across 8,036 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Seraphine | Seraphine's level-1 Q poke and E root outrange and out-trade your engage. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 evens as your W-Q comes online to punish her step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Alistar | By level 3 your durability lets you walk down her immobile frame, favouring you. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Levels 4-5 stay yours as you all-in through her poke and shield cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | At 6 your engage beats her escapeless Encore, keeping the edge yours. |
| First item | Alistar | First item favours you as your tankiness closes the gap she needs. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | Two items stays yours since you flash-engage her fragile, immobile body every fight. |
Level 1 tilts to Seraphine: her Q poke and E root outrange your engage, so she chips you and your ADC before your combo is relevant; stay behind minions and don't feed her free poke. Her poke out-ranges your engage, so take the chip behind minions until level two rather than trying to answer it. Her root is what stops the flip, so bait it with a fake approach. The second step-in, with Trample already running, is the one that reaches her.
