| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Naafiri | Anivia's immobile, mana-thin level 1 loses to your Q shove and W threat. |
| Level 2 | Naafiri | At 2 your W punishes every step-up she makes to last-hit. |
| Level 3 | Naafiri | Level 3's full combo kills her before she has any defensive tools. |
| Levels 4-5 | Naafiri | Through 4-5 you keep snowballing while she's still a fragile scaler. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Her level-6 Glacial Storm zone slows your dashes and chunks your pack. |
| First item | Anivia | First-item mana lets her run perma-slow and out-zone your all-in. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Fully itemized her slow zone, Egg and stun hard-counter your engage. |
Levels 1-4 are your kill window and you must use it. Anivia is immobile with weak early mana, so Q-shove and W-in on every step-up, punishing her before Egg and Rush items make her untouchable.
