How to win lane as Seraphine against Alistar · 55.13% win rate over 4,032 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Seraphine | Your Q and Note poke outrange Alistar's stubby melee threat at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 you both gain kill pressure, so the trade comes down to skill and positioning. |
| Level 3 | Alistar | At 3 his W-Q pancake becomes a point-click displacement you can't outrange. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Through 4-5 his flash-engage keeps threatening to pancake you or your ADC. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | His level 6 R makes his dives near-unkillable and tilts the lane to him. |
| First item | Alistar | With his first item completed his all-in windows only get stronger. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | By 2+ items your zone control and peel re-level a single-target diver into a skill fight. |
Level 1 is yours: your Q outranges his Q pulverize and your passive Note stacking lets you chip him while he has no way to answer, so shove or poke freely. At 2 he gains the W-Q combo, so it evens out into a skill trade where positioning behind minions and holding E for his gap-close decides who wins the exchange.
