Twitch vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Anivia's low mobility and poor escape after (Q) cooldowns expire.
The lane turns on Twitch's ability to use (Q) stealth to catch Anivia overextending for CS.
Twitch scales better into late game and wants to avoid early fair trades against Anivia's poke and stun.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia's last-hit attempts when (Q) is down and her support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (W) to slow Anivia after she walks up for CS, then stack poison before cashing out with (E).
Avoid trading when (Q) or (W) terrain is ready, as it blocks your approach and sets up her stun.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain, which punishes stepping too far forward.
Avoid trading when (R) is active as the slow and damage zone limits your repositioning.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, denying your (Q) and last-hit punish windows.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and track (Q) cooldown for punish windows.
Avoid stepping up when (Q) is available to prevent stun trades.
Position near brush to threaten stealth re-entry and punish Anivia's last-hit attempts if support threat is low.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) spike lets Twitch open fights from stealth and pierce Anivia and her support if lined up.
First completed marksman item increases Twitch's all-in threat and wave control against Anivia's poke.
Two-item stealth spike turns Twitch into a potent flanker, forcing Anivia to respect unseen angles and vision denial.

Win conditions

Survive early lane by dodging (Q) and using stealth to punish Anivia's overextensions for CS.
Convert poison stacks with (E) and use (R) to pressure plates and grouped fights near objectives.
Scale into mid-late game to flank with stealth and leverage piercing (R) for teamfight DPS and dragon control.
