Lane: It is very important for Anivia to get the solo lane middle. Anivia is one of the best solo heroes in the game. When playing anivia , the player must play very aggresive and take advantage of her passive rebirth spell. At the early stages of the game, the player using Anivia should always be trading hits with the opponents. It does not hurt to use your egg early in the game. Anivia does massive damage per second when she hits level 6, take advantage of her ultimate and her E. When hitting level 6 , begin to get the Ancient Golem buff ( blue rune). This buff is very useful to Anivia, it helps her farm and gank very well. After getting the blue rune, ask a teammate to take over your solo middle lane and begin to gank. Reaching a fast level 6 means very easy kills for anivia. Make sure to continue to look for the Ancient Golem Buff.

Flash Frost
Adding Flash Frost at level 1 has many purposes such as; Early game ganking, you can use it as a stun and a slow. Another useful way to use it is to stun dragon/lizard early game to reduce damage from your tank. If you happen to engage in a battle before the spawning creeps, Flash Frost can single-handedly help win a battle because of its aoe stun. (Try to aim in the center of their team) They are usually grouped up at the beginning.

Tips on using Flash Frost:
When heroes run up to hit you, their hero pathing is straight. ( Aim at them and be ready to detonate). Always be ready to detonate your flash frost spell. ( Learn the Area of effect that Flash Frost hits). By learning the area effected, Flash frost can be hit even when it comes close to the target. Another way to land your Flash Frost is to set it up with Glacial Storm. Your enemy champion will attempt to run out of your Ultimate with a straight pathing in order to take less damage. Exploiting their fear of your ultimate, you can stun them inside Glacial Storm and constantly spam your Frostbite.

Crystallize
This spell can be used in a defensively or offensively. The purpose of this spell is put the other team in a bad position and mess up their synergy.
Instances where this spell is very useful:
Blocking enemy team from chasing you.
Blocking them from running away.
Trapping hero/heroes by the wall.
Blocking off their carry from doing damage.
Cancelling someones Teleport.

Tips on using Crystallize: Using flash to combo up with your wall is a good idea. For instance, when champions are running away.... flash and block off their escape route, then combo up with your Flash Frost and Glacial Storm.

Frostbite: This spell is Anivia's main offensive spell that outputs the majority of her damage. Basically use Glacial storm and spam Frostbite.
Tips: Initiate with Flash Frost, then cast Frostbite, and then cast Glacial storm.

Glacial Storm: This spell is mainly to setup your frostbite. However this spell does massive damage in team battles due to the fact that it damages every enemy champion that is in the area of effect. ( Make sure to turn off Glacial Storm when it is not effecting enemy champions. Forgetting to do so might lose you a kill or two).
