Azir vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on stable farming with soldiers to outscale Anivia's zoning and waveclear.
Maintain medium lane pressure to disrupt Anivia's free wave control and poke.
Use soldier placement to create safe poke windows and deny Anivia easy CS.

Trading pattern

Poke by repositioning soldiers with (Q) while respecting (Q) and (R) cooldowns.
Punish Anivia when she misses (Q), her main pick tool.
Use (R) defensively to stop all-ins or isolate Anivia on overcommitments.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) or (E) are down, increasing vulnerability to Anivia's all-ins.
Respect (Q) stun combined with (R) slow zoning for lethal trade potential.
Avoid committing (E) without a safe exit to prevent getting caught by crowd control.

Early game

Use (W) and (Q) to poke safely without overextending before level 6.
Avoid using (E) aggressively early to keep reposition and escape options.
Control the wave to punish missed (Q) and limit Anivia's farming ease.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks major defensive and pick potential; use it to safely contest trades.
First mage DPS item empowers soldier damage; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Respect Anivia's spike after level 6 and Lost Chapter where her waveclear and zoning strengthen.

Win conditions

Scale into strong soldier DPS and use controlled spacing to pressure Anivia's farm.
Deny Anivia free waveclear by punishing missed (Q) and controlling the wave.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Anivia and leverage soldier zones in objective fights.

Tip: For Azir vs Anivia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
