How to win lane as Yuumi against Alistar · 44.98% win rate over 2,479 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yuumi | Level 1 favours you because your Q outranges Alistar's melee step-up before he has any combo. |
| Level 2 | Yuumi | Level 2 is yours: hitting 2 first lets you empower-Q punish his W-Q attempt and slow him off. |
| Level 3 | Yuumi | Level 3 still favours you as your poke plus untargetable Attach keeps you safe from his short-range engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Alistar | Levels 4-5 flip to Alistar once W-Q is fully online and can flash past your poke onto your ADC. |
| Level 6 | Alistar | Level 6 is Alistar's: his R cleanses your slows and lets him dive straight through your heal. |
| First item | Alistar | At first item Alistar all-ins on cooldown and your single-target heal can't outrun his CC chain. |
| Two+ items | Alistar | With two-plus items Alistar ults through your whole kit and dictates every fight. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your empowered Q outranges Alistar's melee approach, so poke him as he steps to cs and detach to dodge any early W. Keep Attach ready so his combo whiffs.
