Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Alistar needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Kaenic Rookern or Knight's Vow based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns.
