How to win lane as Brand against Anivia · 53.56% win rate over 267 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Brand | Level 1: Flash Frost's telegraphed startup lets you dodge and punish freely with Pillar poke. |
| Level 2 | Brand | Level 2: Continued poke advantage since she still has no zoning tool to answer with. |
| Level 3 | Brand | Level 3: Full combo access widens your lead while her kit remains reactive pre-6. |
| Levels 4-5 | Brand | Level 4-5: You keep controlling CS and trades as her cooldowns can't match your poke uptime. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 6: Glacial Storm denies your space and farm the instant she hits level 6. |
| First item | Anivia | First item: Rod of Ages/Liandry's-boosted Storm-and-wall combo locks you out of the lane. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | 2+ items: Egg passive plus superior zoning tools let her control fights better than your straightforward damage kit. |
You win the pre-6 lane clearly — Flash Frost is slow and telegraphed, so you can dodge or punish it, and your Pillar of Flame poke chips her down every time she tries to farm without a real way to answer back.
