Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Alistar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Lulu's lvl-1 push and Pix range control the lane over Alistar's melee. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | At 2 your Glitterlance slow shuts down his W-Q engage attempt. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 poke and Whimsy keep pressuring while he has no sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Through 4-5 you out-poke and out-heal his melee harass. |
| Level 6 | Lulu | Wild Growth interrupts and out-shields his level-6 all-in ult. |
| First item | Lulu | Your first item out-scales his kill pressure and keeps peel up. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | With 2+ items Alistar has no answer to Polymorph plus shield disengage. |
You own levels 1-2: bigger push, and Glitterlance's slow plus Pix poke punish Alistar every time he creeps up to threaten a Headbutt-Pulverize, so your ADC farms safe while you chip his HP. Park Pix on your ADC so every auto he throws carries extra weight, and chip Alistar from beyond his walk-up range. Save the polymorph for the flip itself rather than a step-up. Take the wave so the ground he has to cross is longer than his combo allows.
