Introduction
I prefer taking as much AP damage as possible, with
Dangerous Game
and
Executioner
. However, I put 1 point into
Scout
, in case of losing lane and getting ganked much, or in case of winning lane and warding not being noticed.



Anivia is AP champion <no sheet sherlock> so basic midlaner build should work, but I like to get some health with
Rylai's Crystal Scepter,
Liandry's Torment and
Rod of Ages.



Anivia's basic ability is
Rebirth. When Anivia takes lethal damage, she reverts into an egg. If she survives for 6 seconds, she is brought back to life. Cooldown on egg is 4 minutes. It IS NOT affected by cooldown reduction.
Flash Frost is a skillshot ability which deals damage on the way, and upon detonation with clicking Q one more time. Detonation also happens when Q reaches maximum range. It stuns enemy aoe around Q's detonation range.
Crystallize creates a wall which you can't pass. Lenght increases with ability levels. It moves units, and that means you can reveal hidden Teemo, or troll teammates when they are recalling/teleporting :> Don't use it on teleporting ones, it puts tp on cooldown :D
Frostbite is homing ability and it deals enormous damage if used correctly. E's damage is doubled if used on enemy afflicted by Q or R before. In late game you can reach 1000 damage, wait 5 seconds and do this 1000 dmg again.
Glacial Storm is AOE spell which deals damage every second. It slows enemies inside of it. It can stay until your mana is consumed, or you turn it off. You know what it means... URF! 6 second cooldown is very pleasing.





Pros

Frostbite and
Glacial Storm

Frostbite

Rebirth
- No mobility,
Flash necessary
- Slow
- Mana consuming, take
blue buff often
- VERY bad farming

In early game, save your mana and try to use basic attacks. In case of minion group, you should be able to take whole with
Flash Frost when they are close to themselves. In mid game use more spells, for example
Glacial Storm but still don't be wasteful. On late game clear minions with
Flash Frost and
Glacial Storm. If you are versus super minions use
Frostbite on afflicted by
Flash Frost or
Glacial Storm.







Try to stun enemies chasing your team or running away. You can block them with
Crystallize, but be very careful about accidentally placing wall behind when chasing enemies. It will let them escape, and block your team. The same with running away - you can try to block enemy... and you will block enemy with teammate. So use
Crystallize smart.


Anivia's before 6 lvl combo is Q+E, but if you miss Q give up on E. It will deal low damage. Use
Frostbite only if enemy is hit by
Flash Frost first. After lvl 6, you have much more ways to make your combo.
Poke
Target enemy with
Frostbite and if you use it, immediately place
Glacial Storm under enemy, before
Frostbite strikes enemy.
Frostbite should travel long enough to hit enemy afflicted by
Glacial Storm. Then turn off Glacial Storm.
1 v 1
First, recognize the enemy. If that's champion that has dash/jump to you, place
Glacial Storm under you. Champion will dash to you, and that means he'll dash into
Glacial Storm. Don't use any ability until enemy will use dash to you. Then use
Frostbite, and strike twice (explanation on the end) with
Flash Frost. Enemy is stunned, so place
Crystallize when he tries to run. This will make him stay in
Glacial Storm longer. When he finally escapes
Glacial Storm, turn it off. Your
Frostbite should be ready. Chase and wait for
Flash Frost or
Glacial Storm. Then cast another
Frostbite using method "poke", which I mentioned before, or stun + E to secure kill. If you are low HP when 1 v 1 keep your finger on
Flash so you can escape, and combine it with
Ignite while
Glacial Storm is still on. Enemy will die due to over-time damage.
If enemy hasn't got any dash, use
Glacial Storm on him, and rest of combo is the same.
Strike with
Flash Frost twice
So, the point is to deal damage:
When travelling,
and on detonation.
To do this you have to detonate
Flash Frost right behind enemy. It will stun enemy too. If you didn't stun enemy, you didn't land 2nd strike too.

The best working
Flash is the best summoner spell on Anivia, and on almost every champion. Escape? Flash out. Chase? Flash in.
Ignite works very well with Anivia's
Glacial Storm because of overtime damage. It allows you to pick up first blood easily.
Played rarely
Ghost can come in handy when playing as support, because of
Crystallize. I don't think that replacing
Ignite with
Ghost is good, and
Flash is MUST on Anivia due to null mobility from spells.
Exhaust is best secondary summoner spell if you are playing Anivia support. When ADC is present on lane,
Flash Frost +
Crystallize +
Exhaust +
Glacial Storm and enemy is dead.
That's all for Summoner spells. I think other are useless, but that's just my opinion.
