Bard vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) wall stuns and create pick pressure on Anivia's slow approach.
Prioritize protecting ADC from (Q) stun and (R) zoning by maintaining river vision and positioning.
Leverage roam windows after wave crash using (E) to impact mid and secure objective vision.

Trading pattern

Trade with meep autos and look for (Q) stuns from brush to enable ADC follow-up.
Hold (R) for picks or disengage only when ADC can immediately capitalize.
Deny (Q) angles by controlling brush and avoid engaging without ADC peel ready.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (R) zoning which can trap ADC in poor positions.
Avoid roaming when wave is frozen or ADC lacks peel, as Anivia's poke and zone punish isolation.
Watch for (Q) cooldown; punish missed stuns by denying brush and forcing fights.

Early game

Win level 2 by syncing (Q)+(W) trades with ADC to punish Anivia's low early agency.
Deny Anivia brush and fog angles to prevent her (Q) stun setup and zone control.
Crash wave safely before roaming to avoid exposing ADC to Anivia's poke and zone.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(W) trade combo; use this to pressure Anivia and force ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants (E) roam paths; use these to impact mid and secure vision control.
Level 6 (R) enables picks or disengage; coordinate with ADC to isolate targets or stall dives.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (Q) stuns into ADC access denial and kill pressure on Anivia.
Use wave crash timings to roam with (E), applying mid pressure and setting dragon vision.
Coordinate (R) usage with ADC follow-up to create numbers advantages and favorable teamfight entries.
