Anivia vs Corki

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Anivia aims to control the mid lane by using her waveclear and zoning tools to deny Corki free farm and scaling space.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid Corki's poke and mobility, focusing on punishing his cooldowns rather than forcing early fights.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) and immediately follow with (E) for maximum damage, especially when (W) is down.
Respect (R) poke after level 6 by zoning with (R) and avoiding overextension.
Avoid missing (Q) as it opens you to Corki's poke and potential all-ins.

Danger windows

Corki is most dangerous when (R) is stocked, allowing repeated poke before objectives; avoid overextending during these windows.
(W) is his main escape; if it's available, do not force all-ins or extended trades.
Missing (Q) or being caught without flash puts Anivia at high risk of lethal trades or all-ins; play cautiously during these moments.

Early game

Prioritize farming and use (Q)+(E) combos to punish Corki when he uses (W) forward for repositioning.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 as Corki's poke and mobility outpace Anivia's early agency.
Use (W) to block Corki's movement paths and force him into your (Q) for reliable stuns and trades.

Power spikes

After level 6 and completing Lost Chapter, Anivia gains strong waveclear and zoning, enabling freer farming and safer trades.
Corki's level 6 (R) and first damage item spikes increase his poke threat; respect these by holding key defensive cooldowns.
Post-item Corki becomes harder to contest; adjust aggression accordingly to avoid losing trades.

Win conditions

Use (R) zoning and (W) terrain to control Corki's movement and force him into your (Q) for picks.
Punish Corki when he uses (W) forward or when (R) is on cooldown to deny his poke and pressure.
Focus on farming safely until power spikes, then leverage superior zone control to force fights on your terms.
