| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Level 1: Viktor's Death Ray poke already outranges and outdamages Anivia's non-functional early kit, giving Viktor the clear edge. |
| Level 2 | Viktor | Level 2: Viktor continues to out-poke safely from range while Anivia still lacks a real combo to answer, keeping Viktor ahead. |
| Level 3 | Viktor | Level 3: Gravity Field adds zone control on top of poke, letting Viktor out-trade Anivia's still-underwhelming Q-W setup. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5: Viktor's ranged harass and root threat continue to out-value Anivia's combo attempts, maintaining Viktor's advantage. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 6: Chaos Storm still edges the fight due to its range advantage, though Anivia's own Glacial Storm begins narrowing the gap for the first time. |
| First item | Anivia | First item: Rylai's slow lets Anivia's wall-trap land reliably enough to finally out-trade Viktor's laser poke, flipping the lane in Anivia's favor. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | 2+ items: Anivia's full wombo combo deletes Viktor's squishy frame before his zone control matters, and Rebirth secures the trade decisively. |
Anivia is clearly behind through level 5 — Viktor's Death Ray poke and Gravity Field zone control outrange and outpoke your unset-up combo, and he can farm and harass simultaneously with little risk. This continues to level 6, where Chaos Storm still edges the exchange, though your own ultimate starts closing the damage gap for the first time. Play patiently, farm under tower when pushed, and avoid standing in his Gravity Field — getting rooted there invites a combo you can't answer yet.
