How to win lane as Milio against Alistar · 51.42% win rate over 2,400 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | You hard-counter Ali's level-1 by cleansing any knockup his W-Q relies on. |
| Level 2 | Milio | At level 2 your second Q point makes his primary all-in combo a losing trade. |
| Level 3 | Milio | Level 3 you out-sustain and out-poke his walk-ups while dodging Headbutt range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out because Ali is too tanky to punish and can still flash-combo. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a coin-flip of ults: his engage vs your cleanse, decided by timing. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as both scale into utility rather than kill pressure. |
| Two+ items | Milio | With two items your ult+passive negate the CC window his kit is built on. |
You control levels 1-3 cleanly. Alistar's only kill pattern is landing W (Headbutt) into Q (Pulverize) to flip your ADC, and your Q (Ultra Mega Fire Kick) cleanses that knockup while healing, so his combo whiffs into a free trade for you. Poke him with autos and your passive burn as he walks up, and hold Q until his airborne actually connects.
