Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

Ability details

  • Triumphant Roar

    Alistar charges his roar by stunning or displacing enemy champions or when nearby enemies die. When fully charged he heals himself all nearby allied champions.

    Passive — never cast

  • Pulverize

    Alistar smashes the ground, dealing damage to nearby enemies and tossing them into the air.

    Cost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaCooldown 14/13/12/11/10sRange 365

  • Headbutt

    Alistar rams a target with his head, dealing damage and knocking the target back.

    Cost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaCooldown 14/13/12/11/10sRange 650

  • Trample

    Alistar tramples nearby enemy units, ignoring unit collision and gaining stacks if he damages an enemy champion. At full stacks Alistar's next basic attack against an enemy champion deals additional magic damage and stuns them.

    Cost 50/55/60/65/70 ManaCooldown 12/11.5/11/10.5/10sRange 350

  • Unbreakable Will

    Alistar lets out a wild roar, removing all crowd control effects on himself, and reducing incoming physical and magical damage for the duration.

    Cost 100 ManaCooldown 120/100/80sRange 1

Counter plan — how to beat Alistar

  • Build percentage damage — flat penetration falls off against the stats it stacks

  • Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is

  • Punish the cooldown — Alistar is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 7/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Methodology

Data window
512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
Rank aggregation
Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
