Who Wins

  • You win pre-6 trades through superior range and Q poke, as Anivia lacks sustain and struggles to match your waveclear early.
  • Post-6 becomes more even as Anivia's R zone control limits your positioning, but you maintain kill pressure through Overwhelm stack execution.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke and stack Overwhelm while staying at maximum range, then look for E root setups when Anivia steps up for CS.
  • Your W can reflect her Q stun back at her, creating powerful counter-engage opportunities when she tries to all-in.

Wave Control

  • Push waves aggressively with Q to build minion advantages and force Anivia under tower where she struggles to CS early.
  • Maintain pressure to prevent her from roaming while building Overwhelm stacks for potential executions.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W defensively against her basic abilities - save it specifically for reflecting her Q stun back at her during all-ins.
  • Avoid extended trades in her R zone post-6, as the sustained damage and slow will negate your range advantage.
