Anivia vs Sivir

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Sivir's short auto range when she last-hits near your poke.
Anivia controls extended trades with (Q) + (E) combos and waveclear, scaling better into late game.

Trading pattern

Punish Sivir's predictable last-hit movement by landing (Q) stun when her support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (W) to block Sivir's path and force her into (Q) for reliable stuns.
Avoid punishing when enemy support controls brush or threat zone to prevent losing HP for one auto.

Danger windows

Respect (E) cooldown; avoid committing trades when it is ready.
Avoid stepping into enemy support engage range or brush control, as (R) enables quick follow-up.
Be cautious when low on mobility or flash, as Sivir can punish your lack of escape against her support.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin the caster minions and punish Sivir's last-hit animations with (Q) if enemy support is out of zone.
Avoid stepping up when (E) is available to block your (Q).
Hold wave near your side early to reduce Sivir's dash safety and create poke angles.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone and force Sivir to farm under tower, limiting her waveclear.
(E) forces you to bait it before committing to (Q) trades.
Anivia's first item spike lets you pressure waves and safely punish Sivir's short-range autos more confidently.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) stuns into CS leads by punishing Sivir's last-hit attempts when support threat is low.
Use wave crashes after level 6 to deny Sivir plates and force recalls before dragon setups.
Scale into teamfights where your zoning (R) and burst (Q)+(E) combo maximize DPS and control over Sivir's utility.
