Anivia vs Akshan

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Anivia is a control mage with medium lane pressure and low early agency against Akshan's high early pressure and mobility.
Focus on denying Akshan's roam and punishing his short-range by zoning with (Q), (W), and (R).

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (Q) to set up (E) for max damage, using (W) to block Akshan's escape or movement.
Punish Akshan right after he uses (E) to engage if he misses or is interrupted.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) is on cooldown, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Akshan's aggression.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (E) is available as he can engage quickly and reposition.
Missing (Q) opens a window for Akshan to punish with his short-range burst and mobility.
(R) creates kill pressure; avoid extended fights when it is up and ready.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) to zone Akshan and prevent him from safely using (E) to engage.
Avoid overextending early since (E) allows him to punish mistakes with high mobility.
Farm up safely and build towards level 6 to unlock stronger zoning with (R).

Power spikes

Spike at level 6 with (R) for strong zoning and wave control; use this to force fights on your terms.
Respect Akshan's level 2 power spike with (Q) plus (E) or (W) for early aggression; avoid giving him clean engage windows.
Respect Akshan's level 6 (R) ultimate which increases his kill threat; avoid extended fights when it is available.

Win conditions

Control the wave and zone Akshan with (Q), (W), and (R) to deny his all-in attempts.
Punish Akshan's missed (E) to force him out of lane or secure kills.
Reach level 6 and item power spikes to safely farm and force fights on your terms with (R) zoning.

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