Introduction
Hello and welcome.
After a small break I decicded to update my guides.
I didn't choose
Anivia. In season 2 she chose me.
Since then she brought me nothing but victory.
(Over a million mastery points devided on multiple accounts).
Are you ready to unlock her true potential and rise like a phoenix.
Or you can skip the guide and keep playing Angry Birds.
Feel free to ask me any questions on my socials.

Gameplay
Early Game
Early clownfiesta's/invades will usually work out for
Anivia since you have a safety-net for passive and your stun can hit multiple people. Hitting a skill-shot will also proc your manaflow and kill/assist will grant you a hunter/pom stack.
Early
Anivia is horrible in laning phase. Due to the fact she has some of the lowest base stats in the game like health, movement speed, damage, projectile speed, etc she is very fragile to play and easy to outplay.
Try to poke with e to stack manaflow but don't trade unless you have to, any other champion you face will do more damage with their combo than your double damage on both spells.
Mid-Game
If you get a blue buff 7-9 minutes in game you can start stacking your team.
Don't be surprised you're no killing machine yet, but try to take raptors every 2 minutes for an xp lead. Only help out your jungler in your jungle, don't help him out in enemy jungle.
Make sure not to miss any cs, you might get lazy once you have your ultimate but every cs counts.
This phase is where you could set up the ganks for your jungler.
Never follow an enemy who roams on your own. He will turn and kill you.
Late Game
After you pick up your
Liandry's Torment your damage spike's insane. Add a deathcap as soon as possible to completely destroy enemies. You never want to fight in lane anymore, jungle is where you want to pick up kills as you can totally lock people with your wall.
Anivia is the only champion I've experienced to single highhandedly stop the entire enemy team as long as they don't use herald or empowered minions.
Try getting level advantages that boost the numbers of the base stats to be usefull
