Vex vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high-pressure burst mage who must use her passive fear to disrupt Anivia's slow, zoning playstyle.
Focus on denying Anivia the safe farming and wave control she needs to scale and avoid giving her free zoning windows.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to start trades and proc Electrocute quickly for burst damage.
Avoid extended trades inside Anivia R zone; look for quick all-ins when Anivia Q is on cooldown.
Use W shield to absorb poke and E slow to chase or disengage after trades.

Danger windows

Danger peaks when Anivia lands Anivia Q stun combined with Anivia R slow and damage.
Avoid fighting inside Anivia R unless you have R reset available or Anivia Q is on cooldown.
Be wary when your R is down, as you lose mobility and reset potential against Anivia's control.

Early game

Use early levels to aggressively trade with passive fear before Anivia can reliably land Anivia Q.
Punish Anivia whenever she misses Anivia Q to force her off the wave and deny farm.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Anivia from establishing her zone control with Anivia R.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 6 R for engage and reset potential; first completed AP burst item for damage.
Respect Anivia's major spike after level 6 and Lost Chapter for waveclear and zoning power.
Anivia R creates a zone that is hard to siege; be cautious when it is active.

Win conditions

Win by forcing short trades with passive fear and punishing missed Anivia Q cooldowns.
Deny Anivia safe farming and prevent her from setting up her R zoning.
Use R engages to all-in Anivia quickly before she can react or use her terrain control effectively.

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