Ashe vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ashe wins short trades by punishing Anivia stepping up for caster or cannon minions with slows and autos.
Control the wave near midline to exploit Anivia's slow movement and force her into risky last hits.
This lane turns on Ashe's ability to convert (R) picks with support follow-up before Anivia scales.

Trading pattern

Hit Anivia during her caster minion last-hit animations if enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (W) to slow Anivia when she moves up for farm, then follow with autos to maximize poke.
Avoid trading when (Q) is ready or her (W) terrain blocks your retreat path.

Danger windows

(Q) stun combined with (R) slow creates a strong all-in window; avoid stepping up without support peel.
Losing brush control or stepping into enemy support range risks immediate engage or hook.
When (R) is down, Ashe is safer to extend trades but must still respect enemy support presence.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions and punish Anivia's last hits when she is locked in animation.
Avoid stepping forward when (Q) is off cooldown to dodge her stun and poke combo.
Position near your support to chain slows and deter Anivia's attempts to engage or zone.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling Ashe to start fights with long-range picks if support can follow.
First completed marksman item boosts sustained poke and slow pressure, improving kite potential.
After Anivia's first mana/AP item, respect her improved waveclear and poke by tightening spacing.

Win conditions

Convert (R) stuns into kills or forced recalls with support or jungle follow-up to gain lane priority.
Use slow push waves to crash near Anivia's tower, denying her safe farm and setting up dragon vision.
Maintain poke and slow chains to control teamfight positioning and enable front-to-back DPS from range.
