Anivia the Cryophoenix is an extremely strong mage with heavy burst and teamfight positional control. With blue buff she is possibly one of the strongest AP’s throughout the game, farming quickly and easily, dealing significant damage and most importantly, bringing the ability to control terrain to force favourable fights.
![[image loading]](http://www.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/game_data/1.0.0.104/content/spell/34-5.gif) Rebirth - Upon dying, Anivia will revert into an egg and will get an armor and magic resistance modifier of -40 / -25 / -10 / +5 / +20. If the egg can survive for six seconds, she is reborn with the same percentage of health that her egg had left. This can only happen once every four minutes.
This passive is extremely good. It gives you a free GA, and utilizing it correctly is important. Unlike GA you are still vulnerable during the rebirth phase so during laning phase you need to ensure that if you are going to be egged, you do so under the safety of the tower. It can be good for baiting purposes to duel people to the death, but remember it's a long cooldown, and doesn't restore mana.
![[image loading]](http://www.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/game_data/1.0.0.104/content/spell/34-1.gif) Flash Frost - Anivia brings her wings together and summons a single piercing shard of ice that flies on a line, chilling, slowing movement by 20% and damaging anyone in its path. When the shard explodes or is detonated by Anivia it deals magic damage in a radius, stunning anyone in the area for 1 second. The magic damage done by both the shard and the detonation is the same.
Cost: 80/100/120/140/160 Mana
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
Magic Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (+0.5 per ability power)
Range: 1100 (detonation radius 150)
Pre-6 it's your only way of applying chilled. It's a two part skill, use it sparingly early to either stop creeps from piling up(last hitting under turret is an absolute chore with anivia) or when you think your opponent has mispositioned. Blindly shooting it out is very unlikely to work because of how slow the projectile is. It happens to be your only way out of a gank early without blowing flash, and it has a long cooldown so be careful with it.
![[image loading]](http://www.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/game_data/1.0.0.104/content/spell/34-2.gif) Crystallize - Anivia condenses the moisture in the air into an impenetrable wall of ice to block the movement of her enemies. The wall only lasts a short duration before it melts.
Anivia summons an impenetrable wall of ice 400/500/600/700/800 units wide, blocking all movement. The wall lasts for 5 seconds before it melts.
Cost: 70/90/110/130/150 Mana
Range: 1000
See wall section for details on proper usage.
![[image loading]](http://www.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/game_data/1.0.0.104/content/spell/34-3.gif) Frostbite - Anivia blasts her target with a freezing wind, dealing magic damage. If the target has been chilled by Anivia's other abilities, they will take double damage.
Cost: 50/60/70/80/90 Mana
Cooldown: 5 seconds(all levels)
Magic Damage: 55/85/115/145/175 (+0.5 per ability power)
Range: 650
Anivia's nuke. Early on if you assume your opponent isn't going to get hit by Q, you might as well use this to last hit, especially if you're getting pushed. It does roughly equivalent damage to an auto attack at level 1 to unfrozen targets, and goes up from there. It is one of the strongest nukes in the game against chilled targets though, make sure to use it on CD in teamfights on targets, preferably chilled.
![[image loading]](http://www.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/game_data/1.0.0.104/content/spell/34-4.gif) Glacial Storm - Anivia summons a driving rain of ice and hail to damage her enemies, slowing their movement and attack speed by 20% for 1 second, and chilling them.
Cost: 75+50/70/90 Mana Per Second
Cooldown: 6 seconds upon toggle off
Range: 625 (radius 300)
This is why Anivia is one of the heaviest blue buff users in the game. It gives you unparalleled pushing ability, something to run through when somebody is on your back, and denies a huge area to your enemies. Once you get this skill you can
E->R during projectile time for healthy amounts of almost instantaneous damage. It's your farming, sieging, defending, zoning and soft-CCing tool.
Skill order QEE(Q/W)ER, R>E>Q>W
Honestly it's up to you when you want to put a point into W. A point in W at level 4 let's you bully extremely hard at level 6, and it could secure a kill or save your life, but it also makes waveclearing much slower without a second point in Q. If you aren't confident in your wall usage, skip it until later, because making plays with a small wall takes a LOT of practice.

First opening is slightly safer against ganks(you go from slowest champion in game to roughly equal to most junglers)

Tear builds are the strongest offensively lategame, and with the seraph upgrade, very strong defensively as well. Fast Athene's gives you a stronger mid-game due to CDR capping early, as well as enough mana regen to constantly stay in lane and push. I generally prefer to get frozen heart or banshee's with tear builds, and the other defensive items with chalice builds. You want to build to 30%+ CDR with blue buff to maximize damage and utility. For boots choices prioritize surviving lane>Sorcs(eg. build tabi's vs bruiser mid & merc's vs AP assassin's)
Masteries
http://www.finalesfunkeln.com/s3/#7aK7zllUvdmq3vE
1 point into CDR or AP is up to you, rest of it is pretty standard. Spellsword is good because you are going to auto good opponents much, much more than you are going to hit them with spells.
Runes
Red - Mpen - no other choice here really. I guess you could take an AD mark or two to make last hitting easier.
Yellow - HP/lvl, Flat armor, AP/lvl
Blue - Flat MR, Flat AP, Scaling AP
Quints - Flat AP, MS
Laning
Pre-6 play passive and farm unless other guy is bad and gets hit by Q's. Auto whenever possible(you outrange almost every other AP).
Post 6 ult the wave, then either roam(only along paths where you have vision), farm wolves/wraiths, or harass the other guy at tower(if you warded both sides). If you warded the sides, abuse vision to try to land blind stuns.
how to 100-0 people in lane without being fed
The combo is ERQ<->W(ignite here if stun lands)E, autoing whenever possible.
To pull it off, E->R as you would normally. Then either
- Wall them into your ultimate, slightly off center, then fire Q the way they are going(easier way, but also easier to avoid)
- Fire Q slightly off target. Then wall them so that the AI will force them into the q without warning. This is MUCH MUCH harder to do, but will force a flash EVERY time, or else kill.
Walling
Use it on chokepoints, to buy time, to catch people, to set up Q, to force people off of towers, etc. Wall also gives vision, so you should never facecheck if you have wall up. If you wall perpendicular directly between you and a monster(ie blue), it will glitch and sit there patiently, without regening HP or attacking you. If you wall at a correct time, you will be able to wall some dashes from completing(trist, corki). I personally smartcast with dumbcast on ctrl modifier, because there will be times when you will want to use one or the other.
Matchups
+ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler [Ahri] +Run a more defensive rune setup(health/armor seals, MR blues and either MR or AP quints). Depending on how early laning goes, I occasionally grab a dorans. This is a matchup where you will want to get ruby crystal first out of the catalyst, as well as mercs, unless you are supremely confident/ahead. This is a hard matchup because ahri is significantly more mobile than you, and can push almost as hard Run a more defensive rune setup(health/armor seals, MR blues and either MR or AP quints). Early laning is fairly standard, because annie doesn't outrange you by enough to auto harass you effectively. If you had to blow flash pre-6, and annie didn't, ALWAYS back and buy either a ruby crystal/dorans or sapphire+nullmagic before going back to lane. Annie's kill threat is actually not that high on you so long as you can egg under tower. You want to push the crap out of annie once you hit 6, both to stop her from roaming, and to keep her from presenting a threat to you. IMO this is a mercs matchup Dodge, dodge dodge, and watch your positioning so you can't get 100-0'd. Defensive runes, and just outscale him. Brand is VERY combo based, and his cooldowns are all fairly long. If he lit up a creep, he can't insta stun you, if he just straight up pillars, it does much less damage(it's also a long CD), and if he uses his fireball, he can't stun you. Abuse these facts to beat him by punishing usage of skills on creeps. Cass is probably the hardest matchup imo. Defensive runes, play passively, and pick battles carefully. Cass is one of the champs that can very easily kill you under tower if your egg is not behind it, and if it's in front, you need to pray she's oom. I'll usually get a dorans in addition to mercs along with RoA, and try to turn mid into freefarm, and rely on superior teamfight control to win the game. Defensive runes, take all the AD masteries, and auto him out of lane if you can. Be extremely careful at level 6, either still have flash, or else B and buy some defense. If you ward correctly you can harass fizz very, very hard post 6, as well as push him in. Mercs optional in this matchup. Offensive runes or defensive, completely up to you, it's going to be a free farm lane. You can go tear+cata in this matchup for massive outscaling Ad masteries, offensive runeset. Depends completely on whether you get hit by barrels or not. If you do, it's a very, very easy lane to stalemate, winning is somewhat more difficult due to Graga's sustain. Just be careful to ward correctly and try to keep flash up. It's going to be a farm lane for the most part. It's a very jungler dependant matchup. Karthus is another AP that can kill you in egg if you don't do it safely behind tower. He scales a fair bit more than you so try your best to put him behind. Really depends on who can wall better to catch people though. Build whatever you want to get for a good lategame. You won't outscale him so it's probably better to aim for around 600AP and high tankiness. Fairly easy matchup until 6. Try to force him out of lane, because once he hits 6 it's going to suck. Run a defensive rune setup, itemize tanky(mercs, roa) so he can't kill you in lane, and since you are much too slow to follow him roaming, push his tower in constantly so that either their jungle is mid and kassadin roams, or else you push kassadin in and go take wraiths or something. For laning against kassadin, try to place ulti such that if he riftwalks in, he's going to end up in it, and E him asap to at least trade something back. If you really want to feel like a boss, attempt to stun him right after he's used a riftwalk for extreme lulz. Up to you, defensive is safer because if use a Q, I have had kennen's instantly allin post-6. You'll want to constantly push him in though once you hit 6, because he's not going to have enough energy to kill creeps AND harass you at the same time. I like mercs in this matchup to reduce the stuns, although it is up to you Play like a chicken, full defensive rune setup, and just try to get to 6 without dying. Always buy(prioritize ruby crystal/dorans/nullmagic) before level 6. Post-6 you want to push the crap out of leblanc to reduce roaming, and then rely on outscaling her. Chalice->RoA->mercs(if needed) Don't screw up, up to you whether you want defensive or offensive rune setup. Farm lane because you cannot apply chill through black shield for bonus damage. Usually you'll want to level wall at 4 so it's harder for her to follow you if you get leashed by her ult, espeically since it's highly unlikely you are going to be able to stun her. He can kill you at 6 very easily if you go an offensive build. As a result I actually like to run a defensive rune setup going cata->tear with mercs to just constantly push him to tower and make his stuns hard to land. You can punish him quite hard for farming creeps with Q because you outburst veigar significantly pre-6 without a meteor landing, and post 6 you can push him in. This is a lane where you should at most run MR blues. You NEED AP to burst through his healing. Don't make it a farm lane if you can help it, you want to punish him hard and burst him as much as possible, as often as possible. E->R on CD, or if you can stun him. Your E->R has to trade positively against his Q even with healing factored in, or else you will lose the lane(aka build more AP).
+ Show Spoiler [what you do if you fall behind in lane] +Don't try to blind keep building towards a strong lategame. You'll just die over and over again in lane, especially if it's somebody like ahri or leblanc or brand who can 100-0 you the moment their ults up over and over if they get an advantage. If I ever get behind early I finish catalyst, pick up a null magic and a doran's or two for cheap stats, then finish mercs and RoA. Your primary goal is to stop the bleeding and rely on utility and outscaling to win. To follow this up build towards a Dcap and voidstaff, and from there sell the dorans and get the tank/tanky AP items of your choice(hourglass, banshees, abyssal etc)

Okay...
1. Always start boots + 3 pots. Always.
2. Never pick anivia vs cassi or karthus, your slow move speed and your slow animations make it really easy for them to land there Q on you. Never pick anivia vs Kassadin for obvious reasons. Pick Anivia vs everyone else.
3. Archangels... Real? That items garbage. You will have blue buff for 75% of the game, and if you can't manage your mana that other 25%, well practice.
The item build you should use:
boots > catalyst > roa > hextech > sorc shoes > rabadons > voidstaff > wota > most suitable defensive item > merc treads.
Obviously some tweaks can be made, you have ap top get wota faster, they stack magic resist get void faster etc... But avoid archangels, and stick to these items.
I'd also use flat ap quints and ap/level blues. You have 1.0 ratio Q+E and 0.25 per sec on your R, you cant afford not to get flat ap quints. |

Archangel isn't bad on anivia. Rushing Archangels is bad, but getting it isn't. Archangels provides the largest single source of AP in the game and Anvia can really use the mana pool. She also charges it up extremely fast. If you're going to get archangels it's best as a 5th or 6th item. |

| Archangels is like the last item I make as I've still got a tear in my inventory. But I'd prioritise any other AP items before that as tear usually is enough manapool once its stacked anyway. |

| How do you figure Anivia charges a Tear quickly? You only use one spell to clear an entire wave, and your other spells have significant cooldowns and they're not spells you want to throw away either. |

her ult counts x2, her q counts x2 if manually detonated, and if you r+q to insta kill a wave, you have easily enough time to go kill wraiths or wolves or both for more stacks + gold&exp. Even getting tear after deathcap, it'll charge up to +5-600 with ease because lategame you use q for poking a lot, and r just for positional control. Getting it before deathcap can be dicey because it does delay big damage by a lot, but usually it'll be +1000 by endgame easily.Last edit: 2012-01-03 07:44:21 |

Long post incoming.
People need to be more open minded in this forum, I see too many people being like "THIS IS HOW YOU DO X EVERY SINGLE TIME" as of late
Anivia has extreme flexibility in item choice. Archangel's seems to be looked down upon extremely for whatever reason - there are scenarios where it is viable to get before deathcap. Anivia's base mana regen at level 18 is 17.8, and her base mana is 1211. Tear of the goddess gives 7 mana regen: archangels gives 25. If you are able to consistently get blues and keep them, then deathcap after RoA is indeed optimal because deathcap is so strong as an item. However, not every game plays out that smoothly, and having to play without blue buff or any significant source of additional mana and mana regen is suboptimal and indeed gamebreaking in matchups against another dominant AP with wave clearing potential (gragas etc.) who have less issues managing mana or have a team with better blue control. In these scenarios, getting a tear or even finishing archangels before deathcap is viable, as having a completed archangels is superior to having deathcap components in midgame fights. Anivia has a gamechanging skill in her w, so comebacks are always possible with its appropriate use.
RoA and deathcap are core on her, as an AP mana hog who scales doubly from HP with her passive up. Aside from that, she has a large number of viable choices. WotA, Archangels, Void Staff, DFG and banshees and other various defensive items are all strong on her. She also has a lot of flexibility in boots choice - Anivia benefits even more than other APs from mercs in that she is likely to survive beyond the initial CC that it reduces and she benefits from the mres in both forms, and in general aims for a lategame with void staff (fairly easy with good csing). Sorcerer's boots offers one of the strongest damage increases for a low price along with increased movement, as it does for all APs. She is also one of the APs who can get swifties without getting flamed. The additional 20 movement speed that swifties offers over other boots2 options you puts your movement speed higher than that of most enemies (notably other ADs and APs). This additional movement speed allows Anivia to catch up and wall fleeing or distant enemies as well as to kite incredibly hard with the slows from her ult and her q.
The swifties option was prevalent in season 1 when some of the best Anivia players played her frequently (jiji, manyreason and co). With some of the new champions and the increased numbers of dashes in the game, it has become less popular, but is still viable, especially versus teamcomps with less escapes.
Runes are also very flexible. mpen for reds is fairly straightforward, but everything else can vary. The older mass mpen page with flat mpen blues and quints allowed for increased damage over AP pages for early levels against opponents who did not rune mass MR while allowing for strong damage against squishies while getting swifties, and is the runepage I would run if I planned on getting swifties / mercs. Anivia benefits from hp/lvl on yellows doubly because of its interaction with her egg. She benefits from ap and ap/level as do all APs. Movespeed quints are an interesting option, but if I wanted that movespeed I would probably get it from the utility tree's 2nd tier (while depending on playstyle, I believe that Anivia playing optimally shouldn't be running out of mana at early levels, and past level 6 3 mp5 is usually not gamebreaking). Besides, you rune and itemize to go beyond a certain movespeed threshold (moving faster than your opponents lol), and the only way to really guarantee this as Anivia is to get swifties anyway.
Something that you should probably expand on is playstyle. Pre 6 I have seen some players play extremely aggressive with q + e, flash, and ignite to secure early first bloods, and more passive gameplay using q e as counter-harass. I personally feel that playing very aggressive is only good if you really outclass your opponent in the mindgames and mechanics of landing skillshots. Given a strong opponent who doesn't get creep blocked and can dodge well, this playstyle often screws yourself over if their champion can take advantage of you when your mana pool is low or has extremely fast cast animations.
Playing defensive on the other hand is more flexible as well as a way to secure some baseline of farm for yourself before you get to instaclear status. When an opponent goes for harass with spells or autoattacks, their animation is usually enough to land a q if you can launch it when they begin the animation as the hitbox is fairly large as mentioned in the OP. In trades of q-e, anivia is hard to match in damage given her double damage mechanic, especially at levels 3 and 5 (in a similar vein to the way how zilean is one of the only others who essentially uses two level 2 / 3 spells at those levels, it does a LOT of damage). Anivia's autoattack (600 range) is one of the longest, so if you can get csing with her down, she becomes a very potent and consistent laner with a passive playstyle.
And although it may be very obvious, for newer Anivia players, you can use e and then activate r immediately over an opponent as the e's double damage will activate even if it is cast while they are not frosted as long as the ult reaches the opponent while the e particle is in the air. This is good harass with blue buff and a potent finisher. |

| Not an anivia player, or hell, even an AP mid player (easily my worst matchup) but i'll just poke in and say that a rule of thumb that kinda stuck with me (dun remember where i got it from) was that as long as you got AA after roa, it was well worth it in terms of cost efficiency. You also have to want the mana. Those were the conditions i remember. |

Navi makes alot of really good points above, I'd never really thought of going AA staff first if I can't secure blue earlygame but I think its something I might try out a bit in the future.
I think the aggressive playstyle pre-6 isn't very good against decent players as your damage is entirely dependent on hitting a very slow skillshot in lane. Against most decent players they will manage to avoid your Q and counter harass early which leads me to play passively in lane with anivia.
Not much has been said on Wall so far this post, which is probably one of the greatest CC spells in the game, in any forced positioning such as when a team is posturing for dragon or baron, you can cut off 1 or 2 approaching enemies at the chokepoint entrances to jungle and split their team entirely.

What are your thoughts on Rylai's vs RoA? 35% slow (since Rylai reduces aoe slow to 15%) on R seems like a pretty good trade for the mana you lose out on.

rylais is terrible on anivia imho
you already have enough slows/CCs at your disposal to to your job and anivia probably benefits more from the mana on rod than a 15% slow |

Rylai's is worse in basically every way than RoA. Without RoA you'll run oom pretty fast even with blue buff, and without it you'll be completely ineffectual without other mana items. You also don't get any sustain when laning from the catalyst proc.
The slows don't stack as much as you think. it's going to be a grand total of 28% slow for AoE and 40% slow from frostbite applications of rylai's slow. While rylai's proc on frostbite is nice, there are other items I'd much rather have even in my 5th and 6th slots. |

Don't quote me on this but I'm prettyyyy sure that Ryalis slow doesn't stack with Anvia's own slows...even if it does it's not going to increase the slow amount by much. |

slows do stack, but the strongest slow is applied first and then further slows are applied at a weakened percentage (i think by a flat percentage, 65% came up in a thread when i typed in slow stacking league of legends http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1487578)
while anivia does benefit doubly from HP, that also means amount of HP at which getting further HP is less efficient than armor / mres is reached much quicker than every other hero when her passive is up. many other damage items are more useful overall for her (wota for team and self in sustained fights, void and dcap for pure damage, rod and AA for efficiency when fully charged) and individual MR/armor survivability items provide more survivability overall (banshee and hourglass), and she doesn't benefit from the cc greatly, so she doesn't want it. |

I also always start boots + 3 health pots, unless I am confident that i can land some early harass, and I'll switch out one health pot for a mana one so I can get an extra Flash Frost. I play Anivia a lot differently than most people, mainly because I refuse to use flash on the principle of the matter. For non-ranked games I substitute teleport, while in ranked I'll either grab ghost or stick with teleport if the enemy jungler doesn't have a fear or stun. I also play Anivia very differently in pubs than I do in ranked. In pubs, I am a huge fan of boots of mobility. In pubs you generally do not need much in the way of magic pen, and as I have runes for magic pen, I'd rather have the ability to chase and dodge. I play Anivia in pubs as a do not get hit champ. I will stun, wall, and ult you so that you never hit me, and the speed advantage of boots of mobility means I will get away.
For ranked I'll play a lot more like guides say to. So not much to add there.
I do want to comment on Anivia + Sejuani. I witnessed first hand early this morning how disgusting of a combo they make. Sejuani stuns them with Glacial Prison and applies the frost status which means Anivia gets a free Frostbite (at 2X damage) and Flash Frost. Add in the Glacial Storm for the DoT and a halfway decent wall, and you have a fairly easy double kill or better. Throw in an Ashe for overkill and the enemy team is going nowhere. Anivia and Sejuani probably have the best synergy I have ever seen between two champs. |

| anivia's E will not do double damage on frost effects applied by other champions, that was patched out over a year ago i think |

Sure did not seem like it last night, regardless, having stationary champions and Anivia free to R+Q+E still means those champs are screwed.Last edit: 2012-01-23 05:32:03 |

You haven't seen Anivia + Jungle Alistar then, it's beyond retarded. Alistar knocks back, anivia stuns + e, aliztar pulverizes, anvia ignites and e's again = guranteed kill. Froggen and Snoopeh do this so so much. |

Well as I have yet to see a jungle Alistar, I obviously have not seen this, but I shall make sure to try it with a friend now. |
