How to win lane as Galio against Anivia · 49.71% win rate over 1,040 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1: roughly even as both champions poke cautiously without committing. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2: still close, her Frostbite poke starting to chip but manageable. |
| Level 3 | Galio | Level 3: Galio pulls ahead by punishing her cooldowns and immobility with all-ins. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Level 4: Galio continues to win extended trades before her ultimate comes online. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 5: Galio remains ahead right up to her level 6 spike. |
| First item | Anivia | Level 6: Anivia's Glacial Storm and wall give her the tools to seize control of fights. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | 2+ items: Anivia's zone control and AP scaling make her the stronger late-game teamfight piece. |
Anivia's egg passive and long cooldowns on her stun mean she's fragile if you catch her out before 6, so use your mobility and W's damage reduction to punish any Flash Frost misses. Levels 1-2 are close since her poke chips you, but by 3-5 your all-in potential outweighs her burst if you play around her long stun cooldown.
