What makes Anivia dangerous
Anivia stuns with a slow-flying Q, blocks paths with an impassable wall, melts waves and champions with her ult storm + E double damage on chilled targets, and her passive revives her as an egg — you must kill her twice. In chokes she's a raid boss.
How to play against Anivia
- 1Fight her in open areas — walls and storms rule the chokes.
- 2Kill the egg only with follow-up ready, or save the damage.
- 3Her Q is very slow — sidestep it and the burst combo dies.
- 4She's oppressively mana-hungry early — force spell trades.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Extremely slow and immobile.
- ✓Early mana problems cripple her trades.
- ✓The stun is one of the slowest projectiles in the game.
- ✓Egg placement is fixed — burn it when your team surrounds it.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Anivia's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
WiedergeburtErleidet Anivia tödlichen Schaden, verwandelt sie sich zurück in ein Ei und wird dann mit vollem Leben wiedergeboren.
Strong: death turns her into an egg that revives — two kills required. Weak: the egg is stationary — kill it only with damage to spare.
Q
BlitzeisAnivia schlägt ihre Flügel zusammen und beschwört einen Eiskristall, der in Richtung eines Gegners fliegt. Der Kristall verursacht an allen Gegnern auf seinem Weg Schaden und unterkühlt sie. Wenn der Kristall explodiert, verursacht er mittleren Schaden in einem Radius und betäubt alle Gegner in dem Bereich.
Strong: a flying stun that starts her burst chains. Weak: one of the slowest projectiles in the game — sidestep on reflex.
W
KristallisierenAnivia kondensiert die Luftfeuchtigkeit zu einer undurchdringlichen Eiswand, um jegliche Bewegung zu blockieren. Die Wand bleibt nur kurze Zeit bestehen, bevor sie wieder schmilzt.
Strong: an impassable wall that traps or splits fights. Weak: temporary — hug your escape route before she casts it.
E
FrostbissAnivias Flügelschlag erzeugt einen frostigen Windstoß, der ihrem Ziel Schaden zufügt. Wenn das Ziel vor Kurzem von „Blitzeis“ getroffen wurde oder durch einen voll ausgebildeten „Eissturm“ Schaden erlitten hat, erleidet es doppelten Schaden.
Strong: double damage on chilled (Q/R-touched) targets. Weak: needs the chill setup — deny Q/R hits and E stays weak.
R
EissturmAnivia beschwört Eis und Hagel, die Gegnern Schaden zufügen und am Vorankommen hindern.
Strong: a growing storm that melts waves and chills for E. Weak: heavy mana drain and stationary — leave the circle.
Itemization
Open-field fights and early mana pressure. Track the egg cooldown; don't chase into walls and storms.
