How to win lane as Azir against Anivia · 51.75% win rate over 371 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Azir | Your soldier pressure and range advantage let you dominate her clunky early laning phase |
| Level 2 | Azir | Continued wave pressure and poke keep you ahead as she struggles to punish your positioning |
| Level 3 | Azir | Your zoning and farm lead carry into a comfortable mid-lane advantage |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Neither side has a clean edge here — her zone control and your repositioning largely cancel out |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Anivia's wall-and-burst combo becomes a real threat once her item spike and Rebirth sustain come online |
| First item | Azir | You reassert control thanks to superior scaling and wave clear at your item spike |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late-game skirmishes are close since her zone control can still punish greedy positioning even as you outscale |
Anivia's early game is clunky without her wall combo fully online, and your soldier pressure lets you shove waves and zone her from farm safely, so you should be aggressively punishing her lower mobility and forcing bad Flash Frost trades.
