Anivia vs Zed

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Anivia's lane control and zoning are key to denying Zed's all-in windows.
Respect Zed's high early burst and mobility by avoiding risky trades before level 6.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing (Q) followed by (E) for max damage, using (W) to block Zed's escape or force him into (Q).
Respect (W)+(E) combo and dodge his (Q) to avoid heavy damage.
After Zed misses (W), look for short trades with (Q) and (E) to punish cooldowns.

Danger windows

Zed's all-in with (W)+(E)+(Q) combo and (R) pose lethal burst threats.
Missing (Q) leaves you vulnerable; avoid overcommitting when it's down.
Be extra cautious if your flash is down, as escape options are limited.

Early game

Use early waveclear to keep the wave on your side and deny Zed easy engages.
Punish Zed's missed (W) engages before level 3 to reduce his all-in threat.
Avoid extended trades pre-6 to minimize risk from Zed's burst combo.

Power spikes

Level 6 and Lost Chapter completion let Anivia clear waves safely and zone with (R).
Respect Zed's level 3 unlock of (W)+(E)+(Q) combo as a real all-in threat.
Track Zed's first lethality item timing to avoid losing trades to his burst.

Win conditions

Win by farming safely and zoning Zed away from all-in range with (Q) and (R).
Use (W) to block Zed's movement and punish his cooldowns after missed engages.
After level 6, leverage (R) to deter engages and look for picks when Zed mispositions.
