Her kit is projectiles and yours is a wall — dash the gaps, wall the rotation, and bill the lane for every wave she can't contest.
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 Yasuo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Anivia.
This is Yasuo's own plan; across 4,233 pooled games the lane is leaning Anivia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yasuo | Level 1 is yours: you out-range her and her Q is a slow, dashable skillshot. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 stays yours as she's immobile and mana-gated with no punish without Q. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is yours because you dodge Q on the wave and punish the cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yasuo | Levels 4-5 remain yours: she can't self-peel your dash without landing Flash Frost. |
| Level 6 | Yasuo | Level 6 stays yours: Glacial Storm only slows and doesn't stop your dive. |
| First item | Yasuo | First item is yours: crit Q's punch through the Rebirth egg and Wind Wall denies her combo. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With 2+ items you dominate: one crit sequence bursts egg and bird before she resets. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q out-ranges her and her Flash Frost is a slow, telegraphed skillshot you dash to dodge. She's mana-hungry and immobile, so shove her in and threaten every step-up; without landing Q she has no way to punish you. Track Flash Frost: 11s at rank 1, 7s at rank 5 — the slow sphere starts every kill, and sidestepping it means Frostbite never doubles.
