Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose trades due to Smolder's range advantage and Swain's E-W combo that outranges your Q.
- Post-6: You win if you can land E cage on either enemy, as your R can delete Smolder instantly.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to farm safely and stack AP while Anivia controls waves with R.
- When Anivia lands Q stun, immediately follow with E cage for guaranteed W-Q-R combo on the stunned target.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Let Anivia manage wave states with her R while you focus on safe Q farming and stacking.
- Push only when enemies recall or when Anivia has mana to clear waves quickly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E cage aggressively without Anivia's setup, as missing it leaves you completely vulnerable to Swain E-W or Smolder's extended trades.
