Naafiri vs Anivia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Naafiri should pressure Anivia to prevent her from safely farming and scaling her zoning power.
Use mobility and poke to deny Anivia a passive lane and force her to miss farm or skillshots.

Trading pattern

Start trades with Q poke to apply bleed and gauge Anivia's defensive cooldowns.
Commit W and E only after landing Q and when Anivia's Anivia Q or Anivia W are down.
Use R to enhance chase and burst on isolated targets, especially if Anivia misses her Anivia Q stun.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when Anivia's Anivia Q stun and Anivia R zoning are active.
Do not commit W if it can be blocked by Anivia W or interrupted by Anivia Q.
Be cautious if your Q poke misses, as your all-in threat is significantly reduced.

Early game

Use Q to poke Anivia before she can set up her Anivia R zone.
Avoid committing W until Anivia's Anivia Q and Anivia W are on cooldown or dodged.
Keep the wave on your side to create opportunities for W engages when Anivia is isolated or low.

Power spikes

Naafiri's level 6 R greatly improves chase and all-in potential against slow Anivia.
First lethality item amplifies Q poke and burst damage.
Respect Anivia's level 6 and Lost Chapter power spike that strengthens her waveclear and zoning.

Win conditions

Win by chipping Anivia with Q poke and forcing her to miss farm or abilities.
Use R-enhanced all-ins to punish Anivia when she is isolated or her key cooldowns are down.
Deny Anivia a calm scaling lane by applying constant pressure and exploiting her low mobility.

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