Nami vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (E) to buff ADC autos and (W) to sustain through Anivia's poke and waveclear.
Control brush to deny (Q) stun engage and create safer hook angles for your ADC.
Prioritize lane space and river vision to protect ADC from (R) slow zoning.

Trading pattern

Buff ADC trades with (E) and bounce (W) for health advantage before landing (Q) after slows.
Hold (Q) to follow up on slowed or committed targets for reliable crowd control.
Avoid forcing trades if (Q) misses; focus on peel and sustain to protect ADC access.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain to avoid ADC getting caught in engage angles.
Beware of (R) zone slow isolating your ADC and limiting escape paths.
Watch for enemy ADC follow-up on (Q) stuns or after your bubble cooldown expires to avoid all-ins.

Early game

Win level 2 by syncing (E)+(W) trades with your ADC to pressure Anivia before she responds.
Deny Anivia brush control early to limit her (Q) angles and protect ADC positioning.
Time wave crashes to enable safe roams after securing ADC priority and vision control.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(W) short trades; pressure with ADC during this window.
Level 3 grants full kit including (Q); leverage bubble after slows and brush control for picks.
Level 6 (R) enables strong engage or disengage; use only with confirmed ADC follow-up and river setup.

Win conditions

Convert lane control into ADC access by empowering autos with (E) and landing (Q) after slows.
Deny enemy ADC positioning by controlling brush and vision around dragon to prevent picks.
Use level 6 (R) and wave state to set up safe roams or force favorable 2v2 fights with ADC follow-up.
