Vayne vs Anivia Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Vayne, the Night Hunter, meets Anivia, the Cryophoenix, in the Top lane. The sample behind this page is 126 games from patch 16.13.1, and Vayne wins 40.5% of them. A deficit of 9.5 points is what earns Anivia its counter flag in this matchup.
Frostbite (E) is the ability Vayne has to respect, just as Anivia plays around Tumble. Whoever spends Final Hour or Glacial Storm first hands the other a window.
Anivia answers in magic damage where Vayne deals physical, so neither can copy the other’s build. Vayne opens on 550 health and 23 armour, Anivia on 550 and 19. At full build levels the gap widens to 2301 HP versus 2114, favouring Vayne. Vayne also hits harder before items — 60 AD to 51. Vayne covers ground faster from level one (330 against 325).
This is a ranged mirror in terms of reach — 550 versus 600 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
