Lucian vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early burst trades with support setup to punish Anivia's low mobility and slow waveclear.
Deny Anivia free farm by forcing short trades before she completes her first mana/AP item.
Avoid extended fights where Anivia's range and zoning from (R) control the lane.

Trading pattern

Trade quickly after support engages and before (Q) and (R) cooldowns are up.
Use (Q) through minions to punish Anivia standing behind low-health CS.
Avoid using (E) forward without cooldown advantage to prevent being counter-poked or stunned.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combo, especially when paired with (W) terrain blocking movement.
Avoid extended trades during (R) zone control, which slows and damages over time.
Be cautious after using (E) forward, as Lucian is vulnerable to counter-engage or poke.

Early game

Contest level 2 aggressively with support to capitalize on Lucian's dash and burst.
Thin waves early to keep minion damage low and enable quick all-ins.
Reset timing should align with first item spike to maintain pressure before Anivia scales.

Power spikes

Level 2 grants dash and passive burst, enabling strong early trades and lane control.
First completed marksman item boosts burst damage, allowing forced recalls or priority.
Level 6 (R) can finish targets pushed out of position, increasing kill pressure.

Win conditions

Convert early burst trades into lane priority and force Anivia off CS to deny scaling.
Use support synergy to create short all-in windows before Anivia completes key items.
Roam or pressure side lanes after crashing waves to leverage mid lane advantage and snowball.

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