Anivia

the Cryophoenix

Lore

Anivia is a benevolent winged spirit who endures endless cycles of life, death, and rebirth to protect the Freljord. A demigod born of unforgiving ice and bitter winds, she wields those elemental powers to thwart any who dare disturb her homeland. Anivia guides and protects the tribes of the harsh north, who revere her as a symbol of hope, and a portent of great change. She fights with every ounce of her being, knowing that through her sacrifice, her memory will endure, and she will be reborn into a new tomorrow.

Playing the matchup

Playing as Anivia

  • Timing Flash Frost with Frostbite can lead to devastating combinations.
  • Anivia is extremely reliant on Mana for Glacial Storm. Try getting items with Mana or going for a Crest of the Ancient Golem buff on Summoner's Rift.
  • It can be very difficult for enemy champions to kill her egg early in game. Seize the advantage by playing aggressively.

Playing against Anivia

  • Try to gank Anivia when she's laning. With multiple people, it is easier to ensure that her egg dies.
  • If you're playing a ranged champion, stay far enough away from Anivia so you can dodge Flash Frost more easily.
  • Try to fight Anivia in the lanes. In the jungle she can block pathways with lower ranks of Crystallize.
