A wave-clear war you eventually win — survive her range early, then R erases waves while your stun threatens her face.

Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Orianna.
This is Anivia's own plan; across 1,608 pooled games the lane is leaning Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Orianna's poke and wave control win the early trades before your ultimate is online |
| Level 2 | Orianna | She continues to out-poke and out-position you through the early game |
| Level 3 | Orianna | Same dynamic — her ball-based zoning still edges the exchanges |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | She keeps lane control right up to your level 6 spike |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Glacial Storm outpaces her ultimate and lets you contest her engage |
| First item | Anivia | Your item spikes let you punish her squishy frame decisively |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Anivia's zone control and wall fully shut down her ball-dependent kit late |
Orianna's ranged ball poke and wave control let her out-trade your slow-cast kit through levels 1-5, and her threat of a coordinated Shockwave pick forces you to play back rather than freely engage before you have Glacial Storm. Track Command: Protect: 9s of shield plus Armor and MR — force it out before every burst. Command: Attack costs her 35 mana on a 7s cooldown while your Q costs 80 — she can zone the wave and shield the answer before you have Glacial Storm.
