so i've been thinking about the tear, and i can't understand clearly whether or not tear into seraphs is safe/good early or good late.

usually i like tear early into difficult lanes and it feels like "training wheels" or something to make your laning way easier. the obvious drawback (at least that's what i thought) is that, if i don't want to sell tear, i'm forced into seraphs embrace. So to balance the strong tear early game, seraphs would be relatively weak.

but now i just checked, and seraphs seems to have a gold efficiency by itself(so without roa mana) and without the passive shield , of 125% which seems very, very decent.

so basically i wanted to ask, if tear into seraphs is as strong as i think, why doesn't everyone go tear into seraphs on anivia? i understand that it delays your roa spike by 400 gold but i am more than willing to do that if that's the only disadvantage. am i missing anything ?

Hi guys, this is guide mostly focus for players who are more supportive / playmaking oriented players. Hope you enjoy it :)

Hello :D

i recently joined you guys as an anivia player and i am mainly looking to play her toplane and i have some questions. for reference, i play mostly against diamond2-master opponents atm.

is there a spreadsheet with all the toplane matchups available? something like makkro's ornn guide.

what runes do you go with and when? right now i go electrocute every game but i have seen comet as well. when is it a good idea to take comet? i played 1 game with first strike against a tank, is that okay or too greedy in your opinion?

what's your main build after roa? right now i go roa, maligance, magic pen, liandris. boots usually swifties but i can also entertain the idea of different ones.

also, do you guys think she is able to be blindpicked top? i blinded her quite a few times and the only terrible matchup was aatrox, so he became my ban. do you guys think this matchup os ban worthy or skill issue on my part?

also, do you always go tp or do you go ignite too?

and about maxxing skills, i've heard that it is not uncommon to skip the point in 2 level 4 and to put an additional point in w before maxxing q second. is that true/good? when would you do it and when is it bad?

Thanks in advance :)

I have seen the claim that if you throw your Q and let the first instance "consume" his shield, then the reactivation will stun. This works with normal spell shields but I have not gotten it to work against Malzahars shield despite numerous tries. The wiki says that his shield lingers for 0.25 seconds so I'm confused how this is supposed to work. If anyone has video footage of an Anivia using Q through Malzahar shield, I would like to see it.

I wanted to try out anivia amd wanted to know if dft is better than comet ?

As a newer player to anivia I have defaulted to ROA, seraphs, liandry's, rabadons every game, but when you get good ganks early and get more fed, isnt it better to come online earlier so I can help contest dragon better? how should I change my build to have a more immediate impact of the game when I'm given the feed to do so? I'm running electrocute if that's relevant

Hi Anivia Mains,

I discovered a bug with Q and Herald, I don't know if it was already known, this is the first time I've seen it. I cast my Q on Sion, then I took Herald and a second Q cast itself (I'm almost certain I didn't press Q again when I entered Herald).

Hi, i'm a otp anivia. I'll show you in the video some tricks for toplane which will definitly help you in your games. I know the audio is bad, hope you forgive me for that. Hope i can help you with those tricks in your climb. :)

I find that at the end of the game I've been having very low champ damage on anivia relative to my team. But I feel like the damage I do matters at least.

Even on the games I do amazing I'm not even the most damage on my team.

am I doing something incorrectly? or is mid-low champ damage normal for anivia?

This means: Less ult damage over time and astronomic mana costs, but also astronomic Q damage - and an instant double damage E even if you cast your ult just 0.1s before the projectile hits!

Good ol' times are back

DoubleLift recently hosted a tournament and Froggen flew from Denmark to be apart of it! It was really nice to see him back at Anivia in 2026, so hopefully he continues cause I miss him so much :')

Hey everyone,

I’m an Anivia OTP (mid), and I keep struggling with farming/last-hitting even though I really love playing her overall.

My main issue: when I use my ult (R) on the wave, I consistently miss the first 3 melee minions because my own minions tag them first and steal the last hit. It’s really hard for me to time this properly — should I be using E, Q, or an auto-attack to secure those melees? What’s the actual correct sequencing here?

On top of that, she feels extremely mana-hungry to me, even with Manaflow Band + Presence of Mind. I’m building Rod of Ages + Malignance, with Comet/DFT as keystone depending on the game, but I still feel like I run out of mana way too fast when trying to clear waves and poke at the same time.

Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Hi, im really liking anivia support. I often look at builds from onetrick website and I was wondering if i should do the same ones in lower elo. I see two variations right now, full tank and movement speed (with bandlepipes) and also ap with roa and bandlepipes. What would you reccomend building in lower elo and also do you have general tips on anivia that you guys used to improve your gameplay?

Can anyone tell me how I'm meant to play against diana mid on anivia?

Apparently the matchup is fairly even but to me it's genuinely hard losing. I had resigned to just permabanning her but recently that has just led to facing fizz over and over again and that matchup feels even worse.

Since the matchup is apparently even I wanted to learn what I'm doing wrong and how I should play it to no longer get stomped so hard.

Would imperial mandate be better on anivia support rather than rushing rod of ages

I'm not agree with this Last hit indicator thing, but my god, this might change the game for me.

I can remove the 10% attack speed rune and run some more damage.

I wonder if we get to see the oopenent's indicator as well?
