How to win lane as Cassiopeia against Anivia · 51.08% win rate over 462 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's poke and threat range shut down Anivia's only engage tool from level 1 |
| Level 2 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's damage lead compounds as Anivia has no way to catch back up in trades |
| Level 3 | Cassiopeia | Same dynamic continues — Cassiopeia's combo scaling outpaces Anivia's flat poke |
| Levels 4-5 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's DPS threshold and item timing keep the lane lopsided into levels 4-6 |
| Level 6 | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia can DPS through Glacial Storm's zone rather than being deterred by it |
| First item | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's completed item lets her burst through Anivia's egg-form safety net |
| Two+ items | Cassiopeia | Cassiopeia's sustained ranged damage clearly outscales Anivia's immobile poke kit late |
Cassiopeia dominates from level 1 — Anivia's only ranged tool before landing Flash Frost is auto-attacks, and once Frost whiffs (which it does often against Twin Fang's threat range forcing cautious positioning) you punish freely with Noxious Blast. Her egg form buys her one mistake, but you can time a second all-in to kill through it.
