Ezreal vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Ezreal landing (Q) poke through minion waves to punish Anivia's slow movement.
Ezreal wins short trades by poking safely and using (E) to dodge (Q) stun and (R) zoning.
Anivia controls wave with strong clear, so Ezreal should seek neutral or slow-push waves to create poke angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia when she steps up for caster minions by hitting (Q) plus auto if support threat is low.
Avoid trading if (E) is down since (Q) stun and (R) slow can lock you down.
Use (W) into auto or (Q) follow-up when Anivia is forced out of minion cover for last hits.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain block when your (E) is down.
Avoid trading when (R) is active, as the slow and damage zone punishes forward movement.
Be cautious if enemy support controls brush or can immediately follow your poke with engage.

Early game

Use first three waves to thin caster minions for cleaner (Q) poke on Anivia's last hits.
Hold (E) to escape (Q) stun attempt, especially around level 2 power spike.
Avoid stepping too far forward if enemy support controls brush or can punish your (E) usage.

Power spikes

First completed item lets Ezreal poke more confidently; use repeated (Q) to soften Anivia before dragon.
Two-item spike strengthens poke and cooldown cycling; control fights by landing (Q) before extended DPS trades.
Level 6 (R) can trim waves or finish low-health targets, increasing your lane pressure and objective control.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into recalls and plate damage by crashing waves after softening Anivia.
Use lane priority from poke to secure dragon vision and force Anivia under turret before objectives.
Scale safely through item spikes, then leverage (Q) and (E) mobility to dominate mid-game teamfights.
