Guide to Countering Anivia as Katarina

Tips for Playing as Katarina against Anivia

Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.

Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.

Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.

Advice to Win Against Anivia

Try to gank Anivia when she's laning. With multiple people, it is easier to ensure that her egg dies.

If you're playing a ranged champion, stay far enough away from Anivia so you can dodge Flash Frost more easily.

Try to fight Anivia in the lanes. In the jungle she can block pathways with lower ranks of Crystallize.
