Threats & Synergies






Anivia
Get ready to be poked throughout the entirety of laning phase while simultaneously NEVER getting a kill. Anivia without her passive would just be another irritating poke champion with the added annoyance of her ridiculously large and misleading hit-box on her Q. However, Anivia's passive is what greatly counters Pyke. You can NEVER ult an Anivia while her passive is up, because it will simply ruin your killstreak. Likewise, you will never "kill" an Anivia without using your Ult, but if you do "kill" her and she turns into an egg, you lack any sort of damage to burst her down, and so she will simply reborn. There's a good chance that once you get another opportunity to Ult, she will have her passive up once more, resulting in a stagnant laning phase with very few if any kills at all. Granted her passive will be down for 4 minutes after activating which gives you enough time for your ult to recharge, however it will be difficult to chip away at Anivia's health considering she has the range advantage over you, so you're most likely going to never get anywhere during laning phase unless you get help from your jungler. Even if you somehow "kill" Anivia without your ult while her passive is up, you will probably not be able to burst her down quick enough to the ult threshold considering she is returned to full HP upon being egged, and Pyke simply lacks any burst damage to drop her HP down in 6 seconds. Your best bet of dealing with Anivia is within teamfights, but expect a boring laning phase until then.





Amumu
His Q can be a great setup for your ultimate since you likely won't miss when the enemy is stunned. But what is even more great is when Amumu (ideally an AP Amumu) ults on the enemy team and drops everyone to executable health, setting you up for an easy penta when the enemy team can't move.
