Sivir vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on denying (Q) stun setup and punishing her slow waveclear timing.
Sivir wins short trades by blocking (Q) with (E) and punishing Anivia's last-hit animations with (Q) and (W).
Hold wave near your side to limit Anivia's zoning and avoid her (R) slow zone control.

Trading pattern

Hold (E) to block (Q) stun, then trade with (W) through minions.
Step forward to auto when Anivia commits to last-hitting low-health minions if support threat is low.
Avoid short-range auto trades without wave advantage or (E) available against Anivia's poke and zone control.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combo, especially when her support controls brush or engage zones.
Avoid trading when (E) is down, as Anivia's poke and (R) slow can punish overextensions.
Be cautious near large waves where (R) can zone and support follow-ups can punish forward steps.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and create (W) poke windows.
Punish Anivia when she steps forward for low-health caster minions if enemy support can't trade back.
Avoid pushing hard early to keep safe from (Q) stun setups and maintain (E) for key spell blocks.

Power spikes

(E) availability is critical to deny (Q) and force her to waste cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) enables team movement; coordinate engages or disengages to bypass Anivia's zoning.
First completed marksman item increases (W) damage, improving waveclear and poke pressure against her slow clear.

Win conditions

Convert (W) poke and (Q) double-hit to deny Anivia CS and force early recalls.
Use waveclear and (E) timing to crash waves and take turret plates before Anivia scales.
Leverage (R) team speed to secure dragon control and teamfight positioning for DPS impact.
