How to win lane as Blitzcrank against Alistar · 49.41% win rate over 3,392 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | You win level 1 because your Q Rocket Grab is a lane-ending pick threat while Alistar has no reliable engage yet. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | You win level 2 because your E Power Fist knockup plus grab out-trades his incomplete W-Q combo. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is even skill as Alistar completes his combo and sustains through poke, matching your pick threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill since both of you are farming spikes and trades depend purely on landing your hook. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill tossup because his Unbreakable Will can cleanse your grab CC just as your Static Field threatens a reset. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item stays even as both supports come online and his engage range matches your single grab. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | Alistar wins with 2+ items because he becomes a cleanse-immune diving tank your single hook can no longer control. |
You own the first two levels: your Q Rocket Grab and E Power Fist knockup are live engage while Alistar's W-Q combo needs both spells and burns mana, so a level-2 hook onto him or his ADC snowballs the lane hard.
