How to win lane as Orianna against Anivia · 48.06% win rate over 878 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Orianna | Anivia is slow and escapeless at level 1, so your ranged ball harass dominates. |
| Level 2 | Orianna | At level 2 she still can't punish your step-ups and you keep pushing her in. |
| Level 3 | Orianna | At level 3 you shove and deny her farm while she's mana-starved with no escape. |
| Levels 4-5 | Orianna | At level 4 you still control the wave and can set up a gank before her egg is up. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | At 6 Glacial Storm plus egg lets Anivia zone the wave and survive your all-in. |
| First item | Anivia | On first item her Q-Frostbite burst and Storm push force you under tower. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Late, Anivia's zone control, sustain, and egg out-value and out-live your single combo. |
The first four levels belong to you: Anivia is one of the slowest, most immobile mids in the game and before her combos come online she can't punish you for stepping up. Your ball outranges her, so land Command: Attack on her whenever she walks to CS, and shove hard to keep her mana-starved and under tower. This is your window to build a CS and health lead, and it's the ideal time to set up a jungle gank while she has no egg to save her.
