How to win lane as Vex against Anivia · 49.43% win rate over 783 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Vex | Anivia has no level-1 wave-clear or mobility, so you push and threaten freely. |
| Level 2 | Vex | Your W-auto punishes her level-2 step-ups while she's mana-starved. |
| Level 3 | Vex | E-Q shreds a stationary, mana-capped Anivia through levels 3-5. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | At 4-5 every trade drains the mana she needs to zone, keeping you ahead. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Level 6 is still yours — her pre-item R is weak and you can force the egg. |
| First item | Anivia | First-item Anivia flips the lane: Frostbite doubles and her R zones you off. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | In 2-item fights her Q-stun combo and egg out-scale and out-trade you. |
Levels 1-2 Anivia is one of the weakest laners in the game — no wave-clear without mana and a slow, telegraphed Flash Frost. Push the first waves and threaten her with W-auto whenever she steps up. Deny her the passive stacks and XP she needs to come online. This is your window to build a lead before she scales.
