Read from Vladimir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Anivia | Anivia's level-1 Q Flash Frost stun threat zones you off CS with no answer. |
| Level 2 | Anivia | At 2 her Frostbite combo out-damages your sustain-less trades. |
| Level 3 | Anivia | Level 3 her full Q-E burst still beats your unstacked rotation. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By 4-5 your stacked Q+E sustain briefly outlasts her mana-gated poke. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | At 6 Glacial Storm plus Frostbite denies your all-in and chips you down. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first item's sustain heals through the storm and stops the bleed. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items and Hemoplague you can dive back, though wall and egg keep it near even. |
Levels 1-2 are Anivia's: her Q Flash Frost threat and Frostbite burst zone you hard and your unstacked Transfusion can't trade back, so respect the stun and farm at range. Track Anivia Flash Frost (Stun): 11s at rank 1, matchup-defining — the slow-moving stun starts every Anivia kill; sidestep it and her E never doubles. Anivia's Q Flash Frost stun into E Frostbite is a hard combo that out-damages your early trades, but at 4-5 your stacked Q+E sustain briefly lets you outlast her mana-gated poke if she misses Q; every whiffed Flash Frost is your window to shove.
