| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Zoe | You crush level 1 against slow, mana-hungry Anivia. |
| Level 2 | Zoe | At 2 your poke keeps her off the wave with no way to punish. |
| Level 3 | Zoe | Level 3 your E-Q chunks her whenever Flash Frost is down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Zoe | Levels 4-5 you still zone her while she's pre-ultimate and low on mana. |
| Level 6 | Anivia | At 6 her Glacial Storm zone and egg passive flip the all-in against you. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is a skill check as her Rylai's-R and Frostbite let her fight back. |
| Two+ items | Anivia | Into 2+ items her wall, egg, and AoE control outvalue your single-target poke. |
You dominate the opening four levels: Anivia is slow, immobile, and drinks mana, so you can freely land Sleepy Trouble Bubble and charged Paddle Star to shove her off the wave and threaten a kill before she has her ultimate.
