Anivia Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)
BotWhen Anivia Bot gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Anivia wins most.

- Lv 6Ultimate rank 1 at level 6The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Anivia hits it.

Rod of Ages is done — Anivia's first real damage or durability spike.
Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
Anivia Bot Laning Plan
Anivia recovers well from behind: a lost lane is not a lost game, so keep farming and wait for teamfights. On average Anivia Bot is 595 gold behind the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in only 38% of games. Anivia averages 0.09 solo kills by 15 minutes.

Anivia Mid and Late Game
What Anivia does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Anivia brings crowd control (percentile 91): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
- Anivia out-wards most champions (percentile 75): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Anivia wins 15.0 points more in short games than long ones: group, take objectives and end before the enemy scales.
Playing 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.
