[13.10] xracer022's Challenger Anivia Guide

By xracer02
About Me
Welcome to xracer022's Anivia Guide!

Hello my name is xracer022 but just call me racer if you want to :) Thanks for checking my guide out! I am playing Anivia since season 10 and i really enjoy playing her with a high winrate in Grandmaster / Challenger on EUW. I think i can teach you really good how to play and climb with her easily.

I am sure that you will learn much with my guide and get more knowledge about her. You will have much fun aswell like me cause of the unique playstyle of the champion and the high kill potential.

I regularly stream on Twitch if you want to ask something or just learn how to play by watching the stream.
Pros / Cons
Pros
+ Great teamfighter
+ Control mage
+ Easy to learn
+ Works in every rank
+ Good gank setup
+ High burst damage
Anivia has one of the best lvl2 or lvl3 powerspikes and a really high burst potential. With her Q + E ability combo she can easily one shot enemies at level 2 or 3. You have a really high chance to get first blood with anivia. Her W can be used really good to set up your Q and let the enemy run into it by setting your wall up behind your enemy. With these three spells you can get fast kills. Cause of her stun and wall you can avoid ganks in the early game and save your life. You can also use your wall to not let the enemy escape and make a good gank setup for your jungler.


Cons
- No mobility
- Easy to kill
- Vulnerable
- Has many counters
- Flash is very important
- CC is a big problem for you
Anyways anivia is really easy to gank and to kill cause of her simple kit. You dont have much mobility as anivia and you cant easily escape against dashes etc. Champions like fizz, ezreal, lucian, yasuo and many more counters you easily. Your burst is high but your hp bar is really low. Heavy ad champions can kill you in under a second and adc with many dashes can do that aswell. This makes anivia easy to play but hard to master.

Abilities
| Range: N/A | Cooldown: 240s | Cost: N/A |

INNATE: Periodically, upon taking fatal damage, Anivia enters resurrection for 6 seconds and restores all of her health.

While in resurrection, Anivia is unable to act and gains -40 − 20 (based on level) bonus armor and bonus magic resistance.

If Anivia remains alive by the end of the duration, she is revived with her current health.


| Range: 1100 | Cooldown: 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 / 7 | Cost: 80 / 85 / 90 / 95 / 100 |

ACTIVE: Anivia launches a chunk of ice in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies hit and slows them by 20% − 40% (based on Anivia Glacial Storm's Rank) for 3 seconds.

Flash Frost can be recast after while the ice is in flight, and does so automatically at maximum range.

RECAST: The ice shatters, dealing magic damage and stunning nearby enemies for a duration, as well as refreshing the slow.

PASS THROUGH DAMAGE:
50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 (+ 25% AP)

EXPLOSION DAMAGE:
60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+ 45% AP)

STUN DURATION:
1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5


| Range: 1000 / 100 | Cooldown: 17 | Cost: 70 |

ACTIVE: Anivia summons a wall of ice at the target location perpendicular to her facing, knocking all units away from it (though not through terrain). The wall lingers as impassable terrain for 5 seconds.

WIDTH (PATHFINDING):
600 / 700 / 800 / 900 / 1000 units


| Range: 600 | Cooldown: 4 | Cost: 50 |

ACTIVE: Anivia blasts a freezing wind at the target enemy that upon arrival deals them magic damage.
If the target was hit by Flash Frost or was inside a fully formed Glacial Storm within the last 3 seconds, Frostbite's damage is doubled.

MAGIC DAMAGE:
50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+ 60% AP)

ENHANCED DAMAGE:
100 / 160 / 220 / 280 / 340 (+ 120% AP)


| Range: 750 | Cooldown: 4 / 3 / 2 | Cost: 60 MANA + 35 / 45 / 55 PER SECOND |

ACTIVE: Anivia calls forth a driving rain of ice and hail at the target location, dealing magic damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies within and Slow icon.png slowing them for 1 second, refreshing every 0.5 seconds while inside. Glacial Storm can be recast after 1 second, and does so automatically if Anivia goes too far away from the storm, becomes unable to pay the mana cost, or is affected by any form of interrupting crowd control.

MAGIC DAMAGE PER TICK:
30 / 45 / 60 (+ 12.5% AP)

SLOW:
20 / 30 / 40%
Runes
Electrocute is by far the best rune for Anivia in the Domination tree. At level 1, in combination with your Q or E you can easily trigger electrocute to deal alot of damage to your enemy.

Cheap shot will help you with extra burst damage with your stun and some magic pen, it's better than the other runes at the moment.

As anivia you aim to take over the game and dominate the enemy which makes eyeball collection the perfect choice in order to get some extra damage. This should help with extending your lead once you get ahead.

Lastly ingenious hunter is the ultimate rune in your kit that will allow you to maintain enough sustain combined with crown of the shattered queen.

Presence of mind will give you much extra mana which is really helpful and useful on anivia cause of the high mana costs and your ultimate. You can easily get it cause of your high kill potential.

Coup de grace is a really good choice on anivia cause of the extra damage output and combined with your Q and E combo you can easily onshot the enemy.

The double adaptive damage is really nice for early kills, be aware of the fact that ignite and electrocute alone can take your enemy to half hp. Abuse the enemy as soon as you can and start farming gold and mejai's soulstealer stacks.
Summoner Spells

SUMMONER SPELLS
-
FLASH: This is your core summoner spell and you should never change that cause of your kit. Anivia has no mobility or escape spells thats why you are always taking flash. You can avoid ganks or prepare kills much easier with flash and you can use it to block champions combined with your wall.
IGNITE: Ignite is really good for your laning-phase cause of the extra damage and it makes your kill potential even higher. With your Q + E combo you have such a high ap burst damage, squishy champions explode in seconds.
Items
STARTING ITEMS


Doran's Ring

Health Potion
Your starting items are always doran's ring and two health potions. There are no better options or other items to buy. Doran's ring is the best way to carry the game cause of the mana, health and ap you get from it. The two health potions are really useful aswell. Don't start with something other, there is no better item to buy.




CORE ITEMS


Crown of the Shattered Queen

Sorcerer's Shoes

Seraph's Embrace
Your core items are always crown of the shattered queen, sorcerer's shoes and seraph's embrace. These three items are a must have cause of the items stats and passives. You always buy tear and go magic penetration boots cause of your insane burst damage. Crown of the shattered queen is really good as anivia cause of your squishy kit and champion. You will survive much more with this item.




SITUATIONAL ITEMS

Void Staff
The Void Staff gives an unreal amount of magic penetration. When you realise the enemy is completely stacking Magic Resistance, this item might help more than even a Rababon's Deathcap would.
Morellonomicon
When you realise the enemy is healing way too much and way too fast for you to be able to burst them, the grevious wounds a Morellonomicon grants can negate more healing than the damage you will ever be able to do.
Rabadon's Deathcap
When you don't need a specific form of damage to get through your enemy, and you don't need more defensive items, then the Rabadon's Deathcap is perfect. It's also a perfect snowballing item as nobody is gonna stop you once you have one before they have magic resistance.
Banshee's Veil
A Banshee's Veil can be a lifesaver when a single spell can be the difference between life and death. Being able to walk through the jungle without fearing a charm coming from a bush is a very liberating feeling. This item should only be built when its absolutely necessary.
Match-ups

ANIVIA
VS

ASSASSINS
If you are playing against heavy ad champions or your enemy can easily oneshot you, you have to rush zhonya's hourglass or only armguards. Most of the times you have to play smart and carefully. Most of the times champions like fizz, talon, katarina, qiyana will be a hard time cause of their kit, you just have to play safe and dont be overaggressive. Just survive and play with your kit on range.



ANIVIA
VS

MAGES
Against mages its much easier because anivia outtrades the most mages in the midlane, your burst will help you there. You can play much more aggressive against ap match-ups and you can easily push them under tower with your r. Anivia scales really good and can outscale the most ap champions in the midlane. Most of the champions are squishy which is really good for anivia cause of her high ap burst damage.
Ability Sequence


ABILITY SEQUENCE

Obviously you want to pick Glacial Storm once you hit Level 6, 11 and 16 as this is your most useful and powerful spell.

You want to start with Q cause of the damage and the stun, you can easy autoattack him after you hit your Q and proc electrocute. After level 2 you can deal such a high damage with your Q + E combo and burst your enemy already to low hp. After that you can skill your wall and use it to hit your Q much easier by blocking your enemy. It's also really good to block ganks or escape ways from your enemies. If you have your ultimate you can just put it under your enemy and set up your wall behind him and throw your Q + E. It's really easy to kill an enemy by this tactic. You can block the escape way out of your ultimate with your wall.
Game Progression

GAME PROGRESSION


Early-Game 00:00 - 11:00
During this period of the game you have a really good chance to solo kill your lane opponent with your high burst damage combo Q + E. It's really easy and fast to get kills on anivia in this state of the game. But you have to care about ganks or roams. If you get some kills you can snowball in the mid-game really quickly.


Mid-Game 11:00 - 20:00
It's mid-game now and hopefully you have got some kills over the early game. You can have some items now and stack ap really easy and quick. You can permanently push your wave and bind your enemy on the turret. If you do that you can easy roam bot or top or get some vision for your team. You have much more pressure than your enemy because he has to farm under tower meanwhile you already roam.


Late-Game 20:00 - 45:00
In the late-game, you have such a high ap score and can easy oneshot the enemies, and cc chain the tanks in your ultimate. You just have to care about assassins and heavy ap champions like veigar, syndra or control champions which can hard CC you or burst you down. Your wall is so big now that you can block big waves and escape ways from the enemies easily.
Conclusion
CONCLUSION

Anivia is a really good champion for beginners and easy to play in every rank. You can easily carry games alone and climb really fast and consistant. But the champion is hard to master so care, anivia has also many disadvantages.

I will update this guide whenever I have more time with any information I can come up with that might help, so stay tuned and maybe check back every once in a while.
