This Guide is still far from beeing finished!

Hi, my name is LtDan and this is my first attempt creating a Guide.
Why did i decide to do so? And why Anivia? She has been my main champion since her release and
well, i have seen quite a few guides on Anivia but somehow none of them realy satisfy my play style.
Lately i see people playing Anivia with Warmogs Armor. Nice to have... if im afraid of my opponent i rather 2-3 hit kill my enemys in early game and destroy the whole Team in lategame. If played with a little caution and keeping a eye on the map there is no need for Warmogs if you ask me.

A lot of people dont like my rune settings but i like it the way it is.

I start with boots and 3 Manapotions. Depending on my opponent i sometimes start with 3 Healpotions or 2 Mana and 1 Heal or vise versa. During mid/lategame i sell my Athene´s unholy Grail and trade it for Zhonya´s Hourglass. A little more boost and the great active that can save ones live in a dire situation.

Alot of people say Anivia is weak pre 6...
This statement is only true if one cannot aim!
On a regular base i kill the enemy Midlaner on lvl 2-4
because of the great burst damage Anivia has.
Just do the math... if capable using skill-shots
Anivia´s Flash Frost on Lvl 1 does 60 dmg +50% ability power plus the detonation which is another 60 dmg + 50% ability power (starting with my rune setup thats 40 ap) and that adds up to a total of 160 dmg right there on lvl 1 with just one shot. Doesnt sound much? Most Champions start with a prox of 550 health one skill shot and there is only 390 left that is about 30%~35% health gone with one shot. Now some people may say... not true she does not do that much dmg on lvl 1
but i say yes she does you have to let Flash Frost travel through the opponent and than detonate it to get to her full dmg potential.
Hitting lvl 2 makes her dmg more interesting because now we have Frostbite.
This skill does 55 dmg +50% ap to enemys not much but if hit with with Flash Frost first the dmg doubles up adding up to about 150.

So lvl 2, 2 skills 160 Flash Frost and 150 with Frostbite = 310 dmg.
2 skills and well over 50% live are just gone.
no auto-hits included! Add a few auto-hits and Ignite and guess whats left of your opponent nothing either he is dead or going b. he should be in base either way and u can keep farming.
