Tristana vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Tristana's level 2 all-in and wave crash to pressure Anivia under turret.
Tristana wins short trades with (E) burst and resets, while Anivia controls waves with poke and zoning.
Use passive wave push to create turret plate pressure but avoid overextending into Anivia's stun and slow.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Anivia during her last-hit animations only if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (E) to stack burst on Anivia when she stands near low-health minions, then jump with support follow-up.
Back off if (Q) is up or if enemy support controls brush, denying safe all-in windows.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping forward when (Q) stun is off cooldown combined with her (W) terrain block.
Respect enemy support presence that can punish your (W) jump or follow-up trades.
Do not jump without reset potential if (R) slow zone is active and support can peel.

Early game

Push first two waves to hit level 2 before Anivia and threaten jump all-in with support follow-up.
Punish Anivia's last-hit attempts on caster minions when her (Q) is down and support can't contest.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves where Anivia's poke and support peel punish your all-in.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) and (E) for sudden all-in bursts; push wave to force Anivia off CS.
First completed marksman item strengthens all-in and turret plate pressure; convert kills into turret damage.
Late game, Tristana's range and resets outscale Anivia's zoning, enabling safer DPS in fights.

Win conditions

Use level 2 all-in windows to force Anivia off wave and crash for turret plates.
Convert kills or forced recalls into turret damage with fully stacked (E).
Snowball resets to secure dragon vision control and mid-game objective pressure through lane dominance.
