Anivia vs Draven

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Draven's axe catch zones during his last-hit attempts.
Anivia wins extended trades through (R) zoning and (Q) stun follow-ups, while Draven dominates short trades with axe autos.
Hold wave near your side to deny Draven safe axe catches and reduce his all-in threat.

Trading pattern

Punish Draven when he walks up for last hits without axe protection or support threat.
Use (Q) to stun Draven after forcing him into your (W) terrain, then follow with (E) for max damage.
Give up last-hit punish if enemy support controls brush or can immediately trade back.

Danger windows

Draven's all-in threat peaks when he has two axes active and support can follow trades.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones without vision where (E) can interrupt your escape.
Do not trade when (E) is available, as it can slow and disrupt your positioning.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and prepare for (Q) stuns on Draven's axe catch paths.
Respect Draven's level 2 power spike when he has axes active and support controls brush.
Avoid stepping forward for CS if enemy support threatens immediate trade or zone control.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone Draven and force unfavorable fights.
Respect Draven's level 1 axe autos that punish exposed CS attempts before you have key cooldowns.
Post first item spike, increase wave pressure to deny Draven safe axe catches and force resets.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) stuns into kills or forced recalls to deny Draven cash-in and snowball.
Use wave control and (R) zoning to force Draven under turret, limiting his axe catch safety.
Scale into teamfights where your zoning and burst outpace Draven's early lane dominance.
