Learn how to Anivia counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Force Anivia's passive (egg form) early in fights, then back off and re-engage once she revives — her passive has a 240-second cooldown (4 minutes), giving you a long window to kill her without a second life.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Prioritize dodging Anivia's Q (Flash Frost) — not only does it stun, but it also applies 'Chill', which doubles her E damage from 150 to 300 at max rank.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Force extended trades when Anivia uses her R (Glacial Storm) — it drains significant mana (60 plus 35-55 per second), and when she's low on mana, she loses both wave clear and trading power.
Lane Phase
Save a crowd control ability to interrupt Anivia's ultimate (Glacial Storm) — any form of hard CC will end her storm, significantly reducing her damage output and ability to control space.
Team Fight Skirmish
Approach Anivia from the side or flank rather than head-on — her wall (W) is cast perpendicular to her facing direction and her Q is a linear skillshot, making both abilities less effective against flanking attacks.
Skirmish Team Fight
Engage aggressively when Anivia misses her Q — at early ranks it has a 12-second cooldown, giving you a significant window where she lacks her primary crowd control and Chill applicator.
Basic Lane Phase
Immediately move out of Anivia's ultimate when she first casts it — it takes 1.5 seconds to reach full size, at which point it deals 300% damage and applies a stronger slow.
Team Fight Skirmish
Contest Anivia aggressively before level 6 — she has weak wave clear and trading potential early, and needs to invest in mana items before becoming a threat.
Basic Lane Phase
Anivia's wall (W) forms perpendicular to her facing direction with a width of 600-1000 units based on rank. Pay attention to her positioning to predict and avoid being trapped.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Force Anivia to move beyond her ultimate's 1000-unit tether range — if she moves too far from her storm, it automatically ends, wasting mana and putting it on cooldown.
