How to win lane as Qiyana against Anivia · 53.18% win rate over 613 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Qiyana | Level 1 is yours — Anivia is immobile and can only threaten a telegraphed Flash Frost you sidestep. |
| Level 2 | Qiyana | Level 2 you take free trades and control the wave since she has no dash to answer your step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Qiyana | Level 3 with all elements you dash past anything and Edge of Ixtal shreds her before Frostbite. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Levels 4-5 you close any gap she tries to keep and roam on her sluggish waveclear. |
| Level 6 | Qiyana | Level 6 her Glacial Storm zones the wave but does nothing to stop your dive through the egg. |
| First item | Qiyana | First item you two-cycle her egg from brush stealth and finish before it hatches. |
| Two+ items | Qiyana | At 2+ items you remain her 1v1 nightmare — the diver who ignores her wall and storm to reach her. |
Levels 1-2 are comfortable: Anivia is rooted to the ground with no dash, so as long as you respect her Flash Frost line you take free trades and control the wave. Poke her mana with short pokes so her early sustain suffers, and set up to punish her the moment she steps up to last-hit under the threat of your element.
