How to win lane as Ekko against Anivia · 51.59% win rate over 849 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ekko | Anivia's fragility and lack of mobility let you dominate level 1-2 trades outright |
| Level 2 | Ekko | Continued lack of an escape tool keeps this window firmly in your favor as you punish her positioning |
| Level 3 | Ekko | Your engage tools still outclass her limited kit before she reaches level 6 |
| Levels 4-5 | Ekko | Same trend continues into levels 4-5 as your combo damage outpaces her squishy HP pool |
| Level 6 | Ekko | Even with her ultimate online, she still lacks the mobility to escape your stun-into-combo engage |
| First item | Ekko | Your completed item burst deletes her before Glacial Storm zoning can offset the damage |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Her Rebirth passive and Glacial Storm zone control finally give her the tools to outscale you late |
Anivia is one of the squishiest, least mobile mid laners in the game before level 6, and your dash-heavy kit lets you dictate every trade — bully her under turret with Q harass and look for all-in windows whenever her Flash Frost (Q) is down, since she has zero escape otherwise. This is one of your strongest early matchups if you play aggressively.
