How to win lane as Karma against Anivia · 39.13% win rate over 46 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 you dominate — Anivia's kit does nothing to punish your poke and her egg makes all-ins pointless anyway for you but the trade math still favors your damage. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 continues in your favor as she's still short-range and vulnerable to Mantra-empowered pokes. |
| Level 3 | Karma | Level 3 you're still ahead, denying her farm and health before her scaling kicks in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Level 4 remains your window — she has no wall or ultimate yet to threaten you. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 5 is your last strong phase before her power spike changes everything at 6. |
| First item | Anivia | At 6 Anivia's Glacial Storm and wall combo give her zone control and burst that beats your poke-and-shield kit. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Late game she continues to dominate through waveclear and one-shot combos your enchanter toolkit can't out-scale. |
Levels 1-2 you clearly win — Anivia is slow, has no wall yet, and her egg passive doesn't stop you from denying CS and chipping her with Mantra Q whenever she pushes up.
