| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your poke lands before Anivia has mana to answer, giving you the early trading edge |
| Level 2 | Hwei | Range and combo uptime still favor you before her walls come off long cooldowns |
| Level 3 | Hwei | Mana and item scaling start closing the gap, but you still hold a slight damage edge |
| Levels 4-5 | Hwei | Glacial Storm's zone control and wave clear begin overtaking your early poke lead |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Her mana pool recovers and Crystallize spam starts dictating lane positioning |
| First item | Anivia | Itemized AP scaling lets her out-poke and out-wave you decisively from this point |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Glacial Storm zoning and Rebirth survivability let her dominate teamfights lategame |
You have the edge for the first few levels since your poke lands before she has the mana pool to freely contest with Frostbite, and her Crystallize walls are still on long cooldowns relative to your combo uptime. Push this window hard — trade whenever she steps up, because it closes fast once she scales.
