Anivia vs Viktor

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Anivia has medium lane pressure and low early agency; focus on waveclear and zoning to deny Viktor free farm and scaling.
Prioritize controlling wave states to limit Viktor's ability to safely evolve and use his abilities effectively.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) to set up (E) for max damage, using (W) to block Viktor's escape or force him into your stun.
Respect (W) placement to avoid getting stunned; do not step into its zone before it triggers.
Punish Viktor when (W) is on cooldown or poorly placed by stepping forward with (Q) and (E) damage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up as it can slow and stun, setting up burst damage.
Avoid all-ins if your (Q) is on cooldown since missing it opens you to punishment.
Without flash, maintain safe positioning to avoid being caught by Viktor's poke and zone control.

Early game

Use (Q) and (E) combos to punish Viktor when he mispositions or wastes (W) on waveclear.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) shield is up; wait for cooldowns before engaging.
Keep the wave neutral or slightly pushed to prevent Viktor from safely farming and evolving abilities.

Power spikes

After level 6 and Lost Chapter, use (R) and improved waveclear to pressure waves and look for picks.
Respect Viktor's level 6 (R) and first item evolution spikes; avoid trades during these windows.
Use your post-6 (R) zoning to force fights on your terms and deny Viktor's siege attempts.

Win conditions

Control the wave and zone Viktor with (R) and (W) to deny his farming and force mistakes.
Capitalize on (W) cooldowns and poor placement to land (Q)-(E) combos and seize lane control.
After level 6, use (R) to zone and create pick opportunities; farm safely to reach your scaling power spike.
