Summary



So basically this gives you a lot of **** that is useful on your champion dude
Primary Secondary
FLEET OF FOOTWORK
Aftershock gives Gragas more safety when engaging, when you CC a target you will temporarily gain bonus Armor & Magic Resist, the damage it can grant you is ok, but you mainly run this to assist with surviving engages and teamfights.

If you get engaged on and don't proc Aftershock than you will be easily bursted, this is Gragas's crux as a Support.

Items
Starting Items




Starting items for Alistar never changes, you will play out the early levels 1-4 every single game with Relic Shield, 2 Health Potions, and a Stealth Ward.

Relic shield gives Alistar and his bot lane duo a good amount of sustain in lane, always use the Relic Shield on Cannon or Melee Minions since they will give you the most gold. Relic Shield's execute on minions lets you control the minion wave somewhat.


Early Build Path

> targon's brace >

OR

> > targon's brace

If you are playing for Bot Lane and your ADC than targon's brace, Refillable Potion, and Control Wards are the best purchases. Boots will let you move from bot to Mid lane, but you really need Mobility Boots to get a gank off top lane, or a faster roam Mid.
So if you get a kill early, or happen to back with 900g than you can delay purchasing targon's brace and buy Mobility Boots, Mobility Boots allows you to move around the map and gank other lanes. Alistar has some of the best forced roam plays in the game, so know that you have the option to leave lane and make things happen around the map.

If you recalled around level 4-5, and have enough gold for targon's brace + Refillable Potion, than you should consider the purchase. Refillable Potion gives you a lot of sustain in lane, and through out the Early to Mid game, and can be sold later in the game.


CORE BUILD

After completing Mobility Boots you should look to complete Remnant of the Aspect it gives Alistar a lot of health, and an extra ward for control vision, which is the entirety of Mid Game play. Alistar doesn't have to rush other completed items either.

Gives lots of Armor and Magic resist, and adds extra damage to your binded ally (most likely your ADC) when you engage, and a small slow to all enemies around you after you ULT. Zeke's Convergencehas a good amount of utility, and is very cheap.

Best 3rd item, during the Mid-Late game is the time you will likely be able to purchase Knight's Vow is the time in which the extra Armor it offers you and your binded ally will be most important, the healing / damage absorption it offers is whatever, it's mostly a good purchase for Alistar because it's cheap and gives Armor + Cooldown Reduction during the Mid - Late Game.

Gives lot of Magic Resist and some armor, and active gives team a shield based on the casters bonus health & allies level. You want to purchase Locket of the Iron Solari later in the game because it gains more value later in the game. Alistar doesn't benefit from early Magic Resist as much as he does early Armor in most matchups, and the shield from Locket is more impactful and bigger late game.

This is the only Magic resist item Alistar needs, building items such as Spirit Visage or Adaptive Helm are to expensive and don't help your allies.

Alistar can get away with not purchasing a tank item as his last item because of his ULT Unbreakable Will. Redemption offers a good amount of health for potentially your entire team late game, just adds a bit more numbers for your team in fights, you can swap Redemption for Gargoyle Stoneplate as a last item.



SITUATIONAL ITEMS
Stats and Bonuses offered are almost worthless for Alistar, but the active lets you cleanse your ally of CC, would only recommend it if the enemy has lots of layering unavoidable CC such as Malzahar + Skarner + Annie. 2200g is a lot for no heal, shield, armor, or magic resist.

Quicksilver Sash lets you instantly get rid of CC, which Alistar's ULT Unbreakable Will already does, but if the enemy has multi layered CC you may need it. Like it is super, super rare that you will ever need to purchase QSS, and even when you do it will be hard to use correctly. Good Luck.

Gargoyle Stoneplate is actually a great last item for Alistar you get to use a Stopwatch one time before completing it late game can have huge impact. When completed the active not only makes you tankier, but when around 3 enemies and used it gives you tons of bonus health, making Locket of the Iron Solari's shield almost double, along with making you bigger and tankier. I didn't list it as the last item to build in this guide, because I figure worse players that simply look at the guide for the build will be able to use Redemption easier than Gargoyle Stoneplate.

Very rarely will you be playing into all Attack Damage teams, but when you do you can consider skip building Knight's Vow 3rd item, and build Frozen Heart instead. Frozen heart gives you 20% CDR, 100 Armor, and a lot of Mana. It's one of the highest Armor items in the game, abuse it when the enemy team comp sucks haha.

If you are again a Crit ADC such as Tristana, Yasuo, Caitlyn, Xayah you can replace Redemption with Randuin's Omen as your last completed item.
