How to win lane as Anivia against Annie · 46.94% win rate (1,176 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
She needs a full combo to pop the egg AND the bird — make the combo cost a stun to attempt.
Track: Annie's R — Summon: Tibbers (130–100s cooldown). Flash-Tibbers off a stocked passive stun is her whole threat — watch the glow under her feet.
Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Annie.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Annie | She starts the game with Pyromania stocked — level 1 is a live stun at 625 |
| Level 2 | Annie | Molten Shield returns damage to whatever hits her, so your chip costs you |
| Level 3 | Annie | Four casts reload Pyromania and Disintegrate is only 4s, so her stun returns faster than your 9s Flash Frost at rank 3 |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Same danger through 4-5 — she reloads the stun off wave casts for free |
| Level 6 | Annie | Tibbers on a loaded Pyromania is lethal at 6 if she reaches 600 with no wall in the way |
| First item | Anivia | Rylai's finally gives your combo the range and slow to zone her stun-charge build-up |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Anivia's zone control and durability let you dictate teamfights over her burst late |
Annie starts the game with Pyromania already stocked and reloads it every four casts, so the stun is live at level 1 inside 625. Her whole kit stops there though — chip her from 1075 and never step in while the glow is under her feet. Track Summon: Tibbers is 130s at rank 1 and only a 600-range cast. Annie's Disintegrate is a 4s poke that refunds its mana on a kill, and Pyromania reloads every four casts, so through 3-5 she has a stun ready whenever you step to 625.
