Read from Anivia's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
This is Anivia's own plan; across 3,974 pooled games the lane is leaning Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Mortal Steel's third cast dashes in with a knock-up, punishing your immobility for free trades early on. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Spirit Cleave shields him while every second attack adds magic damage, compounding his lead into 3-5. |
| Level 3 | Yone | Soul Unbound is down to 16s at rank 3, and every trade he opens still ends in the Q3 knock-up. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | He remains ahead through levels 4-5 since your kit still lacks the HP and item power to punish his aggression. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Glacial Storm plus Frostbite finally outclass his short-range brawling once you hit level 6. |
| First item | Anivia | Post-6 damage and utility keep the lane in your favor as Wall shuts down his dive angles. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full items let Zhonya's and Rylai's completely neutralize his late-game all-in, sealing your favor. |
Mortal Steel's two-stack dash closes the gap on your immobile kit almost instantly, and Spirit Cleave shields him back up every 14 seconds, giving him repeatable trades you simply can't out-trade at levels 1-2. He punishes any Flash Frost whiff by walking through it for free damage, and the Q3 knock-up sets up follow-up damage before you can react with Wall. Play passive, ward the river for his all-in timing, and just farm safely under tower rather than trying to contest CS.
