Yuumi vs Anivia Counter Pick

Anivia’s difficulty rating sits at 10, yet across 145 games on patch 16.13.1 she is rarely the top pick in a support role: Yuumi leads with 54.5%. Anivia reaches 600 range, well past Yuumi’s 425, but her kit depends on preparation more than on applying pressure. Flash Frost has to connect before Frostbite can do its job, and Crystallize is only useful when an enemy is forced to step into it. Yuumi spends most fights latched onto an ally, and a champion stuck to a teammate rarely walks into a wall that can trap her.

The defensive picture is closer than first impressions suggest. Anivia begins with 550 health at level 1 and finishes at 2,114 by level 18, while her armor climbs from 19 to 88.7. That is fragile for someone expected to hold ground with Glacial Storm. Rebirth adds a real wrinkle: the egg gives her a second life and pushes Yuumi’s team to spend extra damage, so kills that look decisive sometimes fall short. Prowling Projectile rewards waiting, adding bonus damage and a heavier slow once the missile has flown for 1.35 seconds, making it the cleanest tool for wearing down an egg. Both champions are slow, Anivia at 330 and Yuumi at 325, so neither one can outrun the other on foot. Full stats for Anivia are listed on her champion entry.
