Akshan vs Anivia

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Akshan must leverage his early lane pressure and mobility to deny Anivia free farm and prevent her from setting up zone control.
Focus on snowballing through early trades and roams to punish Anivia's low early agency and mobility.

Trading pattern

Trade short combos with autos and (Q), then reposition quickly with (E) to dodge (Q) stun and (W) terrain.
Punish immediately after Anivia misses (Q), as her main pick tool is down.
Avoid prolonged fights inside (R) to minimize damage and slow effects.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun cooldown and avoid engaging when it's available and aimed.
Be cautious inside her (R) zone due to sustained slow and damage.
After using (E) to engage, be prepared to disengage if missed to avoid heavy punishment.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike with (Q) plus (E) to punish Anivia's slow movement and force her off the wave.
Push waves early to limit Anivia's safe farming and reduce her zoning impact.
Avoid extended trades if (E) is interrupted, as you become vulnerable to counterattacks.

Power spikes

Exploit your level 2 spike with (Q)+(E) for early all-in potential and roam opportunities.
Use level 6 (R) for picks or defensive resets rather than forcing blind engages.
Respect Anivia's level 6 (R) zoning and her first mana/AP item spike that boosts her waveclear and safety.

Win conditions

Use (E) to punish Anivia's overextensions and create pressure on other lanes through roams.
Deny Anivia safe farming by pushing waves and forcing her to use abilities defensively.
Exploit her low mobility and lack of escape when her flash is down for quick all-ins or picks.

Tip: For Akshan vs Anivia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
