She out-ranges your combo for five levels — farm the Tear, dodge the big spell, and let the item curve flip the lane.
Track: Anivia's Q — Flash Frost (Stun, 11–7s cooldown). The slow-moving stun starts every Anivia kill — sidestep it and her E never doubles.
Read from Ryze's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Anivia | Level 1 Anivia's Flash Frost stun outranges and out-threatens your short Q. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 it evens as your W root threat balances her stun setup. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | By level 3 dodging Flash Frost lets your W Rune Prison combo kill her. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-based around her Q cooldown versus your root punishes. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 6 Glacial Storm and Rebirth egg let Anivia zone your farm and survive dives. |
| First item | Ryze | First item health and sustain let you push through her zone and force the egg. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two-plus items your Q DPS out-races her mana-gated control and R enables the dive. |
Level 1 favours Anivia — her Flash Frost stun outranges your Q and threatens a Frostbite follow-up, so hold your position, last-hit carefully, and never walk up while her Q is available. Track Anivia Flash Frost (Stun): 11s rank 1 — the slow-moving stun starts every kill; sidestep it and her 4s Frostbite never doubles. Even but tense: Anivia's Flash Frost stun into Frostbite is a kill threat, yet if you dodge the Q you can W Rune Prison her and burst her before she can wall away.
