Playing the duo

Alistar's Q knock-up and W displacement can control a target before Elise's human-form E stun, giving Cocoon a more reliable follow-up; if Alistar's CC has already landed, Elise may not need to spend E on the opening control.

How to play as Elise

Follow Alistar's engage with your damage, and don't force Cocoon into the same opening if his CC already holds the target; you can save E for their escape or another enemy.

How to play as Alistar

When Elise is close enough to follow, start the pick with your Q or W engage; your crowd control gives her a safer Cocoon setup and can let her hold E if you already caught the target.
