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 Olaf

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his axe

    Dodge Undertow (Q): it's his only slow, and without a dash, he can only reach you on foot.

  2. Trade while his axe is away

    Take a trade when his axe has landed far from him: until he picks it up, Undertow (Q) keeps its 9-second cooldown.

  3. No long trades when he's low

    Avoid long trades when he's low on health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives him attack speed and life steal based on his missing health.

  4. Save your CC for after Ragnarok

    If you have CC, save it for after Ragnarok (R): while it lasts, no CC stops him, and it has a 100 to 80 second cooldown.
