This is Veigar's own plan; across 2,273 pooled games the lane is leaning Veigar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Anivia | Anivia's Q stun into Frostbite out-damages your level 1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her poke and egg durability keep her ahead. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is a skillshot standoff decided by who lands first. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even, hinging on dodging Q versus landing E. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 Glacial Storm zones you and swings the lane to her. |
| First item | Even / skill | By first item it's still a skill fight of baited cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items your stacked combo bursts through her egg to kill. |
Anivia edges the early game; her Q-E stun combo threatens big damage and her egg makes her nearly unkillable, so dodge Flash Frost, farm from range, and don't trade into her. Track Anivia Flash Frost (Stun): 11s at rank 1 — the slow-moving stun starts every kill; sidestep it and her E never doubles. Cage online: drop it ON yourself when she engages, behind her when she farms — the geometry does the fighting.
