Anivia vs Kayle Matchup Summary

The Anivia vs Kayle matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 25 recent matches analyzed, Anivia wins with a 52.0% win rate compared to Kayle's 48.0%, giving Anivia a 4.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Anivia controls the early laning stage, but Kayle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Anivia needs to press advantages before Kayle reaches their power spikes, while Kayle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Anivia leads by 1.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Anivia has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Kayle's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
7.1Anivia

Damage
892Anivia
797Kayle
Anivia heavily out-damages Kayle by 95 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Kayle should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Anivia's sustained damage advantage take over.

13,107Anivia
12,859Kayle

Anivia brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Anivia far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Kayle should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
917Anivia
752Kayle
Anivia vastly out-sustains Kayle, healing and mitigating 165 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Anivia can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Kayle is forced to recall.

Anivia dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 80.0% win rate — a 60.0 percentage point lead over Kayle. This lopsided early game means Anivia can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Kayle is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 66.7% win rate — 33.3 points above Anivia. Extended games heavily favor Kayle, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Anivia must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Kayle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Kayle survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
