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

Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Viktor.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Viktor | Level 1: Viktor's Hextech Ray (E) sweeps the whole minion line for free while your Flash Frost is a slow skillshot you must save. |
| 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 | Even / skill | Level 6: Arcane Storm still edges the fight — he steers it onto you at 700 range — though Glacial Storm finally gives you ground he cannot hold. |
| 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 | Even / skill | 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 Hextech Ray (E) and Gravity Field zone control outpoke your unset-up combo, and he farms and harasses in one cast with little risk. This continues to level 6, where Arcane 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 never linger inside Gravity Field — stay in it and the stun lands a combo you can't answer yet.
