Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AniviaLevel 1: Anivia has no combo online yet and TF has no reliable engage either, so it's an even minion-trading level with no real advantage either way.
Level 2AniviaLevel 2: Both champions are still assembling their kits; TF's Wild Cards poke is minor and Anivia's single ability isn't threatening yet, keeping it close to even.
Level 3AniviaLevel 3: Anivia's Q-W-E combo comes online and already outpokes and outburts TF's auto-reliant kit at this stage.
Levels 4-5AniviaLevels 4-5: With full combo access, Anivia's poke and burst radius dwarf anything TF can trade back, cementing a clear lane lead.
Level 6AniviaLevel 6: Glacial Storm denies TF safe farm entirely, while his Destiny/Gold Card combo still can't break through Rebirth, giving Anivia a decisive edge.
First itemAniviaFirst item: Rylai's or Luden's lets Anivia's poke combo delete large chunks of TF's health before he can land a single card, extending the item-power gap.
Two+ itemsAnivia2+ items: Anivia's wombo combo one-shots his squishy frame through a wall, and Rebirth blunts his all-in burst, making teamfights heavily favor Anivia.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Anivia is clunky at level 1-2 but TF is no better in a straight lane fight — neither has reliable engage yet, so it's mostly minion trades and card reads. Once you hit level 3-5 with Q-W-E online, your poke range and burst massively outclass his auto-attack-reliant damage. Watch for Gold Card stun setups if he's roaming with jungler, since you have no mobility to dodge ganks. Play slightly back from minions so a red card can't chunk you into an all-in.
