When Poking in lane while preparing Trample's empowered stun

1. ETrample→
2. AutoEmpowered stun

Tip Trample must damage the enemy champion five times, over about 2.5 seconds, before Alistar's next basic attack becomes a stun. Staying close enough for all five ticks prepares the empowered attack.

When Locking an enemy with the knock-up and chaining into the empowered stun for an all-in

1. WDash→
2. QKnock up before knockback→
3. ETrample→
4. Auto5-stack stun

Tip Buffer Q before W knocks the target away to convert the dash into an area knock-up. Activate E on arrival, stay close, then land the 5-stack stun basic attack.

When Knocking up a diver then flinging them away from Alistar's carry

1. QKnock-up→
2. WKnockback

Tip Pulverize first, then use Headbutt to push the diver away from the allied carry. Alistar's position determines the knockback direction, so the combo works best when he stands between the diver and the ally.

When Forcing an enemy into Alistar's team to set up a pick

1. FlashSurprise engage→
2. QArea knock-up→
3. WKnock toward allies→
4. ETrample→
5. AutoEmpowered stun

Tip Flash-Q to knock up multiple enemies, walk around the priority target, then W them toward Alistar's team. It has less reach than W-Q but gives full control over the knockback direction.
