How to win lane as Yone against Anivia · 48.54% win rate (3,974 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15

Verdict: A close lane that leans Anivia on paper (Yone wins 48.54%), but Yone's plan below claims 4 of the 7 windows: convert them and the stats catch up to you.

At a glance

She pokes a man with a return ticket — E in, spend everything, snap back before her answer clears customs.

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.

Do

  • E-trade her cooldown gaps
  • Q3 the knockup inside the window
  • Snap back before her answer lands

Don't

  • Enter spirit form into held CC
  • Linger past the window for one more auto
  • Trade on foot at her range

How to beat Anivia as Yone: the early game

You beat Anivia at levels 1-2: she's rooted-in-place immobile, and as long as you sidestep her Flash Frost with a Q dash you can walk up and auto her freely while she has no way to trade back. Track Anivia Flash Frost: 11s at rank 1 — the slow sphere starts every kill, and sidestepping it means Frostbite never doubles. Anivia is immobile and relies on landing Q stun into E; dash sideways with Q to dodge her Flash Frost, then close the gap — with W shield up you win any trade where her Q misses.
