Alistar Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Engage tank build for the second wave: Alistar is not only there to press the first buttons, but to absorb the answer that follows and keep enough presence to protect the backline afterward. The build must therefore smooth the transition from entering the fight to the peel phase that comes immediately after.
