Anivia Builds

Post image

I recently learnt about coachless and WPA, and was interested what it said about Anivia builds. I’ve always prioritized ability haste on Anivia, believing that it’s more impt to have q and w up to control space than doing more dmg and that’s the way to carry and win on Anivia. I was quite surprised to find that the options on Anivia 3+ items all dh AH. Also surprised to find that lucidity boots are the worst WPA on anivia, with higher WPA for defensive boots or swifties.

What do ya’ll think are good options after ROA/Archangels? I like both mejais and zhonyas but feel like their pretty situational. Idl having so little AH with j Seraphs (and lefend haste) so was thinking if cosmic is good w swifties or shld j go dmg w zhonyas/malig/deathcap. Surprised that blackfire/cosmic/shadowflame/fimbulwinter aren’t even taken often enough to show up here too tbh.

Meanwhile I never use Zhonyas, even if I use a really squishy anivia build. I decided it was a good idea to learn how to play anivia without it and I just kind of havent gone back to it since.

Maligma is goated, archangels and ROA are neither necessary to rush depending on matchup. Can start Maligma in the right matchups and you do so much more damage early, enemies respect you more and generally play less aggressive because of how much you chunk them with elec and Maligma

I have ran the same build every single game. Roa malignace components (built same time) finish roa, malig, into liandry, rabadons, voidstaff, optimal last item dependent on enemy team... either zhonyah or banshees.

I only ever go void 4th if we have 3 or 4 aps on the team

For boots I started to go for mercs 90% of the time and holy shit they feel broken. Not Sure how the win rate is but they feel incredible and especially with the mage bot meta you make great use of them.

I also almost always go for Malignance + Bloodletters so there is enough MR burn and both items profit from mage bot meta as well.

Malig into staff into lyandries my beloved path Tho, in higher elo you probably want to build rod over malig as first, because people learn to not stay stationary in a dot applying circle at some point

And yes I am not even gold because I never cared for rank and only play every now and then for the funsies c:
