How to win lane as Kassadin against Anivia · 50.19% win rate over 775 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Anivia | Her poke and wall control dominate the lane before you have any tools to answer |
| Level 2 | Anivia | Continued poke keeps her ahead as she out-ranges your short kit |
| Level 3 | Anivia | Still her lane — Crystallize denies your approach entirely |
| Levels 4-5 | Anivia | Level 6 Glacial Storm adds fight-ending zone control against you |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Still her stage as the Egg passive makes her nearly unkillable without burst |
| First item | Anivia | First item lets you start threatening real damage in short trades |
| Two+ items | Kassadin | Full-build Riftwalk burst finally lets you kill through her Egg before she resets |
Levels 1-2 are hers by a wide margin — Anivia's poke range and Crystallize wall control space so thoroughly that you can barely approach to farm, let alone trade, so you play maximally passive.
