🟢 Strengths 1️⃣ Excellent Wave Clear & Stalling Power ✅ R (Glacial Storm) provides constant AoE damage, allowing her to clear minion waves quickly. ✅ One of the best champions for holding objectives and stalling games. ✅ Great at defending turrets against sieges due to her long-range poke and wave clear. 2️⃣ High Burst Damage & Scaling ✅ Q (Flash Frost) and E (Frostbite) combo deals massive burst damage when enemies are chilled. ✅ Scales incredibly well with AP items (Luden’s, Liandry’s, Archangel’s, Rabadon’s, etc.). ✅ Can melt both tanks and squishies in late-game fights. 3️⃣ Strong Zoning & Crowd Control (CC) ✅ R (Glacial Storm) slows and forces enemies to reposition. ✅ W (Crystallize) creates an ice wall that can block paths, split teams, or trap enemies. ✅ Q (Flash Frost) is a long-range stun that can disrupt engages and disengages. 4️⃣ Can Survive Fatal Damage with Passive ✅ Passive (Rebirth) allows her to revive as an egg when she dies, giving her a second chance in fights. ✅ This passive makes her tankier than most mages and discourages dives. ✅ Enemies must commit heavily to kill her, which can sometimes backfire on them. 5️⃣ Powerful in Team Fights & Objective Control ✅ R (Glacial Storm) is amazing in dragon/baron fights, creating large zones of control. ✅ Her zoning tools can completely shut down enemies trying to enter or escape fights. ✅ Works extremely well with champions that excel in team fights (e.g., Sejuani, Jarvan IV, Ornn, and Amumu). 🔴 Weaknesses 1️⃣ Extremely Low Mobility 📌 Problem: Anivia has no dashes or movement speed boosts, making her easy to catch. ❌ Weak against mobile assassins and gap-closing champions (Zed, Fizz, LeBlanc, Talon, etc.). ❌ If caught out of position, she is usually dead unless she has Flash or her passive up. ✅ Solution: • Position safely in fights and avoid overextending in lane. • Use W (Crystallize) and Q (Flash Frost) to disengage when enemies jump on you. • Take Ghost or Phase Rush to compensate for lack of mobility. 2️⃣ Very Mana-Dependent 📌 Problem: R (Glacial Storm) has a high mana cost, and Anivia runs out of mana quickly. ❌ Needs Blue Buff or mana items to be effective in extended fights. ❌ Early game can feel rough if she can’t manage her mana well. ✅ Solution: • Rush Tear of the Goddess (Archangel’s Staff) to help with mana issues. • Turn off R (Glacial Storm) when not needed to conserve mana. • Prioritize Blue Buff or buy mana sustain items (Catalyst, Lost Chapter, etc.). 3️⃣ Weak Early Game & Vulnerable to Aggression 📌 Problem: Anivia has low base stats, slow auto-attacks, and a weak early game. ❌ Can be bullied by aggressive laners (Zed, Yasuo, Talon, Syndra, etc.). ❌ If she falls behind early, she takes a long time to recover. ✅ Solution: • Play safe and farm under turret early on. • Use Q (Flash Frost) defensively and only trade when necessary. • Take Teleport to recover from bad recalls or early deaths. 4️⃣ High Skill Ceiling & Difficult to Master 📌 Problem: Anivia’s abilities require precise aim and good decision-making. ❌ Misplacing W (Crystallize) can hurt teammates instead of helping them. ❌ Q (Flash Frost) is a slow skill shot that needs good timing to land the stun. ✅ Solution: • Practice ability placement, especially W (Crystallize), to maximize effectiveness. • Learn how to zone enemies effectively with R (Glacial Storm) and W. • Use Q (Flash Frost) creatively to catch enemies off guard. 5️⃣ Passive is Counterable 📌 Problem: Anivia’s egg form is vulnerable if enemies focus it. ❌ Champions with high DPS (Vayne, Jhin, Kai’Sa) can easily kill her egg. ❌ She is weak to champions who can execute her (Urgot, Pyke, Darius). ✅ Solution: • Position safely so that if you die, your team can protect your egg. • Don’t rely too much on passive—play as if you don’t have it. • Use Stopwatch/Zhonya’s to buy time if you’re about to die.
