Diana vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Diana is a mobile AP diver who wants to pressure Anivia early to deny her safe scaling and zoning control.
Use your medium early agency and lane pressure to force short trades before Anivia sets up her waveclear and terrain control.

Trading pattern

Use Q to mark Anivia and immediately dash with E for burst and shield from W.
Respect Anivia W placement as it can block your approach or force you into Anivia Q.
If you miss Q, back off quickly to avoid Anivia's punish; your all-in is predictable so vary your approach.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging when Anivia's Anivia Q is up as it can stun and set up her damage.
Anivia R creates zoning that punishes extended trades and all-ins.
Be cautious if Anivia's flash is available; she can escape your all-in or counter-engage.

Early game

Look to hit level 3 quickly to unlock your Q+E+W burst combo for strong trades.
Punish Anivia if she misses Anivia Q to engage with your full combo.
Avoid extended fights if your E is on cooldown since your pressure drops significantly.

Power spikes

Major spikes: level 3 for full burst combo, level 6 for R all-in, and first AP skirmish item.
Respect Anivia's level 6 and Lost Chapter spike when she gains strong waveclear and zoning with Anivia R.
Anivia's power spikes make it harder to siege; use your mobility to force fights before she reaches these.

Win conditions

Win by landing your Q+E+W burst combo during Anivia's missed Anivia Q cooldown.
Use your mobility to bypass Anivia W terrain and force fast all-ins before she establishes zone control.
Deny Anivia safe scaling by pressuring early and punishing her slow movement and lack of escape if flash is down.

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