Fiora vs Anivia Counter Pick

Fiora’s plan finishes with a kill, and Rebirth turns that kill into a delay. Anivia reverts to an egg on fatal damage and returns at full health, which forces a duelist who has already spent Grand Challenge to do the work twice. The result is 39.4% for Fiora across 127 games on patch 16.13.1, the losing side of a hard matchup.

The distance is the other half. Anivia attacks from 600 to Fiora’s 150 and controls the ground between them: Crystallize drops an impassable wall of ice that cuts a Lunge path or seals an exit, Glacial Storm slows everyone inside it, and Frostbite deals extra damage to anything already chilled. On raw stats she should never survive contact, with 550 health and 19 armor at level 1 against 620 and 33, ending at 2,114 and 88.7 to Fiora’s 2,303 and 112.9, and Fiora carries 66 attack damage to 51 with 345 move speed to 325. Reaching her is the problem, not beating her. Riposte parries all incoming damage for a moment and can blank a Flash Frost, while Duelist’s Dance restores health on each Vital hit. Keeping a full rotation available for the egg, rather than spending everything on the first health bar, is the only version of the fight that holds together. Difficulty ratings read 10 and 3. Kits: Fiora and Anivia.
