Anivia vs Pyke

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to zone and control brush, denying Pyke's hook angles.
Prioritize protecting ADC from Pyke's engage by holding peel cooldowns for his (Q) and (E).
Control river vision to track Pyke's roam timers and prevent mid or dragon pressure.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) stun for counter-engage or peel when Pyke commits (Q) or (E).
Use (W) terrain to block engage paths and force Pyke into unfavorable positions.
Sync poke and zone with ADC to deny enemy ADC access after Pyke's engage cooldowns expire.

Danger windows

(Q) hook and (E) stun combo at level 2-3 creates high engage threat.
Pyke roaming post-wave crash can isolate ADC; maintain vision and communicate missing pings.
Pyke's level 6 ultimate enables execute resets; avoid extended fights without cooldowns ready.

Early game

Contest level 2 carefully; only engage if ADC can follow (Q)+(E) combo threat.
Deny Pyke brush control early to limit his hook angles and roaming potential.
Coordinate wave crashes with ADC before roaming to keep lane safe and punish Pyke's absence.

Power spikes

Level 2: (Q)+(E) combo threatens strong engage; respect this before contesting wave.
Level 3: Pyke's full kit unlocks stealth roam; track brush and ward river to prevent picks.
Level 6: Pyke's execute resets increase all-in threat; hold (Q) and (R) for peel and zone during fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) zone into denied enemy ADC positioning and safer ADC access.
Use river vision and wave state to safely roam or force Pyke to stay lane, limiting his impact.
Leverage (R) zoning and cooldown windows to set up dragon control and favorable 2v2 fights with ADC follow-up.
