Anivia vs Ashe

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

The lane turns on punishing Ashe's last-hit windows when her support can't zone or trade back.
Anivia wins extended trades and wave control through (Q) stun combos and (R) zoning after level 6.
Ashe benefits from poke and slows but struggles if forced to farm under pressure or near terrain control.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (E) Ashe when she commits to low-health minions and her support can't immediately punish.
Use (W) to block paths and force Ashe into (Q) stun setups for reliable trades.
Avoid trading if (W) is up and support controls brush or engage zones, as her slows enable counterplay.

Danger windows

(R) with support follow-up creates lethal pick windows; avoid stepping too far without vision or peel.
When (W) and passive slows are active, avoid extended trades or stepping up for CS near enemy support.
Losing brush control or standing near low-health cannon minions can enable Ashe's slows and poke to punish you hard.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and hold the wave near your tower to deny Ashe safe autos.
At level 2, punish Ashe stepping up for low-health minions with (Q) + (E) if enemy support is out of position.
Watch for (W) cooldown to create windows for last-hit punishment without taking poke.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, (R) zoning and burst damage let her force fights on her terms.
(Q) + (E) combo becomes a stronger punish tool post-item, increasing pressure on Ashe's last-hit attempts.
Ashe's level 6 (R) pick threat requires Anivia to respect arrow angles and avoid overextending without support peel.

Win conditions

Convert last-hit punish windows into health leads to crash waves and take turret plates.
Use (R) zoning post-level 6 to deny Ashe safe farm and force recalls, enabling dragon setups.
Scale into teamfights where Anivia's control and burst DPS outmatch Ashe's poke and utility.
