🌹 [SEASON 15 NEW] - ANIVIA ICE BIRD OF DEATH MIDLANE! 🐦

During laning phase, farming and playing safe is generally what Anivia wants to focus on - poking the enemy whenever they step up to CS. If your enemy has potential kill pressure on you, you want to save Flash Frost and don't use it to poke as they can take advantage of this, it being your only form of CC/self peel pre 6. If you have a jungler with point and click CC, you can wait for them to cast theirs before you Flash Frost, guaranteeing the stun and successfully landing a kill.

With Rebirth, Anivia has a very safe laning phase, especially if you have Flash available, but that doesn't mean she is immune to ganks and death. She's a very immobile mage with no dashes or escapes, so you need to use your Stealth Ward and keep an eye on the mini map, as burning your passive and summoner spell, and still dying will put you at a huge disadvantage.

Anivia, as stated, is a slow, immobile and squishy mage - if you're vs a Talon, Zed, Katarina etc, and they start to roam early - ping ping ping your allies, and push midlane as hard as you can. It's too hard for you to follow their roams, and they can easily dash out and outplay you if you facecheck their jungle.

Anivia has insane push potential post 6, and you should look to push in your enemy and then roam. If your allies have point and click CC, you can easily CC an enemy into death, or cut off their escapes with your Crystallize. Taking objectives such as Dragon 's or Rift Herald , or even a tower is priority.

During the mid - late game, you want to be pushing in lanes and looking for roams, objectives and kills. Anivia has some of the best CC for picks, with her stun, slows and massive wall to cut off enemy escapes.

During team fights, you can play multiple roles depending on what your team needs, such as countering engage with your Flash Frost into Crystallize, cutting off an engage champion from their team and stopping their escape. You can also help peel for your ADC if it's a hypercarry such as Jinx. You can also help catching out an enemy and get a quick kill, making it a 5v4.

Anivia is basically a hypercarry as a mage, and has insane burst potential late game, along with sustained damage onto tanks with her Glacial Storm. Playing in the backline is your safe zone, and barraging the enemies with empowered Frostbite's is your primary goal, using Crystallize to cut off escapes, or enable your team to get out of a pinched situation.

Make sure to prioritize objectives once you have secured picks/kills, as they are what primarily win the game. Rift Herald spawns twice now, so you can prioritize taking one, if not both, to secure extra tower plates and net you some more gold, allowing you to quickly move forward in your chosen build path.
