Guide to Countering Anivia as Lissandra

Tips for Playing as Lissandra against Anivia

Lissandra's abilities are shorter range than those of many mages. As a result, buying items that offer both ability power and defense, like Zhonya's Hourglass and Banshee's Veil, can be a great choice to help her both survive and deal damage.

Casting Glacial Path and then running in the opposite direction will leave your enemies uncertain which way you will actually go.

You can instantly use your ultimate on yourself by pressing the self cast key and the ultimate key at once (alt+R by default).

Advice to Win Against Anivia

Try to gank Anivia when she's laning. With multiple people, it is easier to ensure that her egg dies.

If you're playing a ranged champion, stay far enough away from Anivia so you can dodge Flash Frost more easily.

Try to fight Anivia in the lanes. In the jungle she can block pathways with lower ranks of Crystallize.
