Janna vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Prioritize shielding and peeling for your scaling ADC to survive Anivia's poke and zone control.
Use (Q) tornado to deny enemy engage angles and control brush for safer ADC positioning.
Maintain river vision to track Anivia's low mobility and limit her roam impact.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) to interrupt Anivia's predictable engage or follow-up attempts on your ADC.
Use (E) shield proactively on ADC's best trades to mitigate Anivia's burst from (E) after (Q).
Time (R) to reset fights or peel after Anivia commits her zoning ult or (Q) stun attempt.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (E) burst; avoid standing in predictable angles or brush.
Beware of her (R) zoning after level 6 that limits safe engage or disengage paths.
Watch for enemy ADC follow-up when Anivia lands (Q); your ADC becomes vulnerable to burst.

Early game

Track level 2 closely to use (Q) and (E) shield with ADC follow-up for disengage or counter-engage.
Control brush with charged (Q) to prevent Anivia's setup for (Q) stun and block her zoning.
Keep wave stable or slightly defensive to protect ADC from Anivia's poke and avoid overextension.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your shield plus knockup for strong disengage; contest wave with ADC then.
Level 3 grants full peel kit; use brush control and cooldown tracking to punish Anivia's cooldowns.
Level 6 (R) provides fight reset and peel; leverage it with ADC follow-up and river vision for dragon setup.

Win conditions

Deny Anivia's engage by controlling brush and holding (Q) for predictable angles.
Enable ADC damage by shielding key trades and peeling aggressively during Anivia's cooldowns.
Use wave state and vision control to roam safely or prepare dragon, leveraging (R) for fight resets.
