Zed vs Anivia

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin aiming to burst down Anivia before she can establish control.
Use lane pressure to deny Anivia safe farming and prevent her from scaling comfortably.

Trading pattern

Engage with W + E for guaranteed damage, follow up with Q to finish, and use R for all-in kill potential.
Respect Anivia Q and Anivia W as they set up her stun and zoning; avoid walking into her skillshots.
If Anivia misses Anivia Q, aggressively trade to force her back or secure kills.

Danger windows

Avoid engaging if Anivia's Anivia Q is off cooldown and positioned to stun.
Be cautious during Anivia R as her zoning and slow can block escape paths.
Missing W engage combo leaves you open to counterattacks; use W carefully.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 as Zed is vulnerable to Anivia's poke and stun.
Use level 3 W-E-Q combo to threaten all-ins and force Anivia to play cautiously.
Punish Anivia when she misses Anivia Q to capitalize on her vulnerability.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 unlocks full W-E-Q combo for burst trades; Level 6 R enables lethal all-ins; First lethality item increases burst damage.
Respect Anivia's level 6 and item power spike where her zoning and waveclear become oppressive.

Win conditions

Use high mobility and burst to kill Anivia quickly before she sets up her zone control.
Punish missed Anivia Q stuns to force lane dominance and deny her scaling.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Anivia from safely farming and hitting her power spikes.

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