Playing as Anivia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Detonate your ice on the target

    Recast Flash Frost (Q) when the orb reaches your target: it explodes at once and stuns, without waiting for the end of its range.

  2. Frostbite a chilled target

    Cast Frostbite (E) right after Flash Frost (Q), or inside a fully formed Glacial Storm (R): against a chilled target, its damage doubles.

  3. Cut off the escape with your wall

    Place Crystallize (W) behind a fleeing enemy: the ice wall blocks the path before it melts.

  4. Play aggressively while your egg is up

    Play more aggressively when Rebirth (passive) is available: instead of dying, you turn into an egg, and if it isn't destroyed, you come back at full health.

Playing against Kennen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his shurikens

    Dodge Thundering Shuriken (Q): each spell that hits you applies Mark of the Storm (passive), and on the third, you're stunned.

  2. Back off when he rushes in

    Back off as soon as he rushes at you with Lightning Rush (E): it's his engage, often followed by Slicing Maelstrom (R).

  3. Spread out from your allies

    When he has Slicing Maelstrom (R), spread out from your allies: the storm hits every enemy around him, and its repeated hits end up stunning.

  4. Fight back after his storm

    Wait for Slicing Maelstrom (R) to end before you fight back: during the storm, he gains armor and magic resist, then the spell has a 120-second cooldown.
