When facing Anivia's top counters like Hwei, Diana, Ekko, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Your core build provides strong damage output. Against tanky counter picks, consider penetration items or percentage-based damage from your situational options to maintain kill pressure. Adapt your final build slots with items like Malignance or Zhonya's Hourglass based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Anivia performance.

burst mageFirst Power Spike2,600gRod of Ages at 11:18 (median)

This Anivia burst mage build is optimized for players looking to maximize their impact in League of Legends.

Where does MetaBot source build data for Anivia?

How does MetaBot determine what the best Anivia builds are?

MetaBot only counts Anivia games that reached a completed build (boots plus at least three finished items), groups them by their three core items, and ranks the groups by a confidence-adjusted win rate (Wilson lower bound) so a build with a handful of lucky games cannot outrank a well-played one. A build is only presented as the highest win rate once it has at least 50 games and a tenth of Anivia's build sample; otherwise the most-played build is shown.
