Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Punish the cooldown — Anivia is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 10/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Upon taking fatal damage, Anivia reverts to an egg and is reborn with full health.

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Anivia in 2 patches. The latest is patch 26.10, published 2026-05-12.
Base Stats
The Ice Birb has been strong for quite some time, icing out opponents in top, mid, and support without much build or playstyle differentiation, which is why we’re opting for base stat adjustments. While the change will impact her across roles, we’re targeting her durability to allow for more all-in windows to crack the egg in top lane in particular.
QFlash Frost
EFrostbite
Anivia's been struggling to find success in the mid lane as of late. Her low mobility is one of her weaknesses, so we're lowering her Q's cooldown slightly as a way for her to keep her enemies at bay while also giving her a bit more damage on her E to help her out.
Riot's data lists 14 looks for Anivia with their own art, the base skin included and 50 chroma variants.
