Alistar, the Minotaur, is a melee tank and support champion. In fights Alistar is a very durable champion who deals magic damage while supporting the team, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Alistar players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Gain Shield after Immobilizing or Grounding an enemy champion.
Your Pulverize (Q) knock up and Trample (E) stun let you trigger the shield while you dive, so you survive longer at the front of fights.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Each takedown permanently raises your Health, and Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction gets more value from a bigger pool, keeping you alive as the frontline.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
The extra Health stretches your Unbreakable Will (R) damage reduction further, so you can stay in the middle of fights longer after engaging with Headbutt (W).
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Alistar players take it.
