Q (Flash Frost) can be detonated manually by pressing the key again — don't let it fly too far, detonate it as soon as it reaches the enemy.
The wall (W) is one of the most powerful tools in the game for cutting off retreats — place it behind the enemy to block their escape.
Your E (Frostbite) deals double damage to chilled targets (from Q or R) — always combo Q → E or R → E.
The passive (Rebirth) gives you a second life as an egg — play more aggressively when it's available, but be mindful of its long cooldown.

Playing against Anivia
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Kill the egg quickly when Anivia dies — she comes back with a decent amount of HP if you let her regenerate.
Her Q is slow and predictable — dodge it by walking sideways and she loses half her burst (no double damage E).
Anivia is very mana-dependent — force long fights to drain her, especially before she has her mana item.
Punish her before level 6: her waveclear and zone control are much weaker without R.
