Read from Renata Glasc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Alistar.
This is Renata Glasc's own plan; across 1,242 pooled games the lane is leaning Renata Glasc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renata Glasc | You dominate level 1 because Alistar has zero ranged threat and must melee-walk into your Handshake and E range. |
| Level 2 | Renata Glasc | At level 2 your E shield and slow beat his short-cooldown-less combo, keeping you and your ADC safe on the trade. |
| Level 3 | Alistar | Level 3 tips to Alistar once his Q-W chain is fully online and his passive tankiness lets him survive your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Through levels 4-5 he stays ahead as his reliable pull-stun combo outweighs your single E slow on any overextension. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | At level 6 Unbreakable Will makes his all-in nearly unpunishable, so the double-buff engage favors Alistar. |
| First item | Alistar | At first item he is at his tankiest and his combo still connects, keeping the melee all-in in his favor. |
| Two+ items | Renata Glasc | By two items your R and E peel invert his one-note engage, so the scaling teamfight belongs to Renata. |
Levels 1-2 are yours because Alistar has no ranged poke and must walk into melee to threaten anything; sit at max E range, shield preemptively, and your Handshake-into-ADC pressure lets you win the auto-attack war before he can combo. Bully him off the wave while his cooldowns are long. Your tether turns his own approach against him, so hold it for the moment he steps forward rather than throwing it at the wave. Keep the shield-speed for your carry's escape, and mark him with an auto first so the extra damage lands before the exchange even starts.
