How to win lane as Annie against Anivia · 53.06% win rate (1,176 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
She out-ranges you — but a stocked stun makes every step into your Flash radius a coin she can't afford to flip.
Track: Anivia's Q — Flash Frost (Stun, 11–7s cooldown). The slow-moving stun starts every Anivia kill — sidestep it and her E never doubles.
Read from Annie's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Annie | You're ahead from level 1 — Flash Frost is 11s and 80 mana, and a miss leaves her nothing to answer |
| Level 2 | Annie | That lead holds at 2: even with Crystallize she has no health to survive a stun combo |
| Level 3 | Annie | Level 3 stays in your favor for the same reason — she's pure glass without her core items |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Level 4 keeps favoring you — Frostbite only doubles if Flash Frost chilled you first |
| Level 6 | Annie | Tibbers at 6 is a serious threat, but Rebirth means you kill the egg too or she walks away |
| First item | Anivia | Rylai's plus a 17s Crystallize flips it to her — she walls off your only approach and slows you out of your own 625 range |
| Two+ items | Anivia | She keeps that dominant scaling advantage late as her range, slows, and double-life passive outclass your all-in kit |
Anivia is very killable before 6 — no Rylai's yet, and Frostbite only doubles if Flash Frost chilled you first, so one sidestep costs her eleven seconds. Punish every recall and every greedy Q push, and bring Ignite for the egg. Track Flash Frost is 11s at rank 1 and travels slowly — sidestep it and Frostbite cannot double for those eleven seconds.
