Anivia vs Nilah

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Anivia punishing Nilah's short-range last-hit attempts under support threat.
Anivia wins extended trades and wave control, while Nilah thrives in quick all-ins with support setup.

Trading pattern

Hit Nilah during last-hit animations when her (W) is down and enemy support can't punish.
Use (Q) followed by (E) to punish Nilah's short-range approach before she can dash in.
Give up last-hit punish if enemy support controls brush or can immediately trade back.

Danger windows

Respect (W) auto-attack immunity window; avoid trading during or immediately after it.
Beware Nilah's level 6 (R) pull combined with support engage enabling lethal all-ins.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones where Nilah's support can follow instantly for trades.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin and hold the wave near your side, denying Nilah safe dash windows.
Punish Nilah stepping up for caster minion last hits if enemy support is out of engage range.
Avoid pushing too hard early to reduce Nilah's all-in threat when her (W) is available.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, Anivia can zone Nilah with (R) and punish her short range.
Nilah's level 6 (R) enables all-ins; avoid extended trades when it's up without support backup.
Anivia's first item spike improves waveclear and poke, allowing safer CS denial and trade pressure.

Win conditions

Convert last-hit punish windows into health leads and crash waves to deny Nilah plates.
Use (R) zoning post-6 to force Nilah under turret and secure dragon vision control.
Scale into teamfights where Anivia's zoning and burst control Nilah's all-in attempts.

Tip: For Anivia vs Nilah, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
