How to win lane as Talon against Anivia · 51.74% win rate (1,956 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
She needs distance and you commute through walls — bleed the contacts, shove, and tax the side lanes she can't warn fast enough.
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 Talon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Talon | Level 1 is yours: slow, mana-hungry Anivia has no answer to your aggression, and her egg is frail. |
| Level 2 | Talon | Level 2 stays Talon-favoured as your W-slow into Q burst beats her telegraphed skillshots. |
| Level 3 | Talon | Level 3 is your prime window: full combo pressure against a mana-starved, escape-less mage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Talon | Levels 4-5 remain yours: crack the all-in into egg and the frail egg dies with it. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | Level 6 flips to Anivia: Glacial Storm zoning plus Rebirth turn your kill into an egg stall. |
| First item | Anivia | First item favours Anivia because the egg plus Glacial Storm zoning survive and kite your burst. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Two-plus items are Anivia's: permanent egg, wall, and unpushable wave hard-outscale your all-in. |
Levels 1-4 are decisively yours: Anivia is slow and mana-hungry with a frail egg, so dodge Flash Frost with your E terrain-vaults, W-slow, and Q in for heavy burst. Keep her shoved off farm and set up dives while the egg is too weak to save her from a committed jump. Track Anivia Flash Frost (Q): 11s at rank 1 — the slow stun starts every Anivia kill; sidestep it and her E never doubles.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Serrated Dirk (≈1100g) — strings start one-rotating math. Build Profane Hydra / Eclipse first, then Serylda's path, with Mercury's Treads / Lucidity.
