Anivia FAQs

Q: What makes Anivia such a great champion? What are her greatest strengths?

A: Anivia has a lot of strengths. Her greatest strength is probably her passive that allows her to come back to life after a brief delay. To kill her, enemies must spend a lot of extra time and energy on her than other champions. She may not be their primary target. Anivia also has a very powerful AoE DoT ability and the power to deal large bursts of damage. A good Anivia build will help her maximize her AP while providing her enough mana to sustain that damage.

Q: What are Anivia's greatest weaknesses?

A: She is relatively slow and takes a lot of mana to keep her damage up. She is very powerful in the late game where she has large mana pools, but in the early game, she will be very constrained.

Q: What can I do to get better at Anivia in League of Legends?

A: Anivia's poor mobility takes some getting used to. You should practice and learn to work around it. For instance, you will need to use your CC to avoid damage rather than moving out of the way of it yourself.

Additional Anivia Build Insights

League of Legends Anivia players will find her to be a challenging champion to build out properly. You'll find that her build changes when she is playing against either well-rounded or specialized team comps, indicating you shouldn't choose the same Anivia build every single game of League of Legends

The most critical items to include in your champion's build are: Rod of Ages, Seraph's Embrace, and Rabadon's Deathcap. Those who included these pieces in their builds had a much higher win rate than those who worked towards other builds for Anivia. Likewise, if you are playing a mixed enemy team composition, you should strongly consider getting her the Domination, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, she won the largest number of her matches when equipped with these runes.

We came up with our Anivia build guidance by examining 29,466 recently ranked League matches with her selected. We only advise the best winrate Anivia builds that were built by ranked LoL players enough times for us to suggest them. With so many games in our data, we are confident in our recommended builds.
