Akshan wins the lane comfortably because Anivia has no dash, blink, or gap-closer, so your Q boomerang and auto-attack poke go unanswered as long as you avoid her skillshot stun. Her egg passive gives her a free life, but that doesn't help her win trades — it just delays your kill, so keep chipping away. Watch for Flash Frost sightlines but otherwise you should be shoving and denying her farm from level 1. Her only real threat is landing a stun into full combo, which is avoidable with side-to-side movement.
