Anivia vs Jinx

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Jinx's low mobility when she steps up for caster minions.
Anivia wins extended trades with (R) zoning and (Q)+(E) burst but loses short trades without setup.
Hold wave near your side to deny Jinx safe rocket poke and force her to farm under pressure.

Trading pattern

Punish Jinx stepping up for low-health caster minions with (Q) stun followed by (E) burst when support threat is low.
Use (W) to block Jinx's path and force her into your (Q) stun for safer trades.
Avoid trading if (E) trap is active or if enemy support controls brush or engage zone.

Danger windows

Respect (E) trap zones combined with enemy support engage; avoid stepping into narrow paths.
Avoid trading when (Q) rocket is active and support can follow up immediately.
Beware of (R) execute potential after level 6, especially when low on health or isolated.

Early game

Use first three waves to thin caster minions and hold wave near your tower to reduce Jinx's poke angles.
At level 2, punish Jinx's last-hit attempts if her support is not threatening engage.
Avoid pushing hard early to prevent (E) trap zones enabling enemy support all-ins.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone and force Jinx to farm under tower, limiting her poke.
Jinx's first completed item spike increases her DPS; punish her pre-item trades to maintain lane control.
Post-6, leverage (Q)+(E)+(R) combo to threaten picks and force Jinx into defensive positioning.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) stuns into (E) burst damage to force Jinx off caster minions and deny CS.
Use wave crashes near your tower to force Jinx to farm under turret and miss poke opportunities.
Scale into teamfights where (R) zoning and burst combo can control fights and pick off Jinx safely.
