| Level 3 | Viktor | Level 3 her slow Flash Frost can't punish you and you stay ahead. |

| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 Glacial Storm and the egg passive stabilize her into an even skill lane. |
| First item | Even / skill | Her first-item mana and ult scaling let her zone and combo, keeping it even. |

You dominate the early levels because Anivia is brutally mana-hungry and completely immobile, while your E (Death Ray) lets you shove and poke her off the wave for free. Push the first waves in and force her to either miss CS under tower or burn mana she can't afford. Her Q (Flash Frost) is slow and telegraphed, so sidestep it and she has no way to trade back. Build a CS and health lead before her defensive spike arrives.
