Anivia vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Ziggs's last-hit approach due to his fixed poke range and immobility.
Anivia wins extended trades with (R) zoning and (Q)+(E) burst after landing stun.
Holding wave near your side denies Ziggs safe poke angles and forces him to risk (W) misuse.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and combo (Q)+(E) when Ziggs walks up for low-health caster minions if enemy support can't punish.
Use (W) to block Ziggs's approach path, forcing him into your (Q) stun.
Avoid trades right after Ziggs uses (W) since he loses displacement and turret execute threat.

Danger windows

(W) displacement combined with poke creates risky windows to step forward; respect its cooldown.
Avoid stepping into (E) minefield zones that control approach paths and slow you.
(R) long-range burst can finish low-health trades; back off if it's available and you lack flash.

Early game

Use first three waves to thin caster minions and punish Ziggs stepping up for last hits.
Avoid extended trades before level 6; focus on hitting (Q) when Ziggs is locked in CS animation.
Position near your support brush to reduce risk of Ziggs's poke and support follow-up.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, (R) zoning and burst make extended trades favorable.
Ziggs's level 6 (R) forces you to respect his long-range burst; avoid overextending during this window.
Anivia's first item spike allows safer waveclear and punishing Ziggs's forced CS paths.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) stuns into (E) burst to punish Ziggs's last-hit attempts and force him off wave.
Use wave crashes after first item spike to deny Ziggs turret plates and force recalls.
Leverage (R) zoning post-6 to control dragon area and teamfight DPS positioning for scaling advantage.
