Playing as Anivia
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- Cut off the escape with your wall
Place Crystallize (W) behind a fleeing enemy: the ice wall blocks the path before it melts.
- 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 Ornn
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay away from walls and his pillar
Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.
- Get out of his breath
Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.
- Keep him in combat in lane
Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).
- Dodge the redirected elemental
When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
