Anivia Tips and Tricks

Play safer when you do not have your Passive available as you will be an easy target for the enemy. In team fights, look to lock down the closest enemy champion with your Q. Focus on using the rest of your abilities to peel and protect yourself and the rest of your team. You can use both your W and R as a zoning tool to help you siege objectives and get picks. Be careful though as you’re vulnerable when your W is down.
