Nami vs Anivia Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Nami converts this support matchup at 54.8% over 248 games on patch 16.13.1, and most of the reasoning belongs to Anivia’s own numbers. The Cryophoenix carries a difficulty rating of 10, the ceiling of the scale, and pays for her zone control with 550 base health, 19 armor and 325 move speed, ten units slower than Nami. The 600-unit attack range is real, but a 550-range enchanter can live with a 50-unit deficit against an opponent who has to land Flash Frost before Frostbite is worth casting.
- Aqua Prison interrupts the Glacial Storm channel and wastes the mana spent on it.
- Surging Tides speed moves allies clear before Crystallize can seal an escape route.
- Ebb and Flow heals through Frostbite chip, which is single-target and cooldown-bound.
- Rebirth returns Anivia as an egg with full health, so kills need a second commitment, and Tidal Wave is what buys that time.
Sample size deserves a caveat: 248 games shows a direction rather than a precise figure, and Anivia is a mid-range pick appearing outside her usual role, which skews the pool toward experiments rather than specialists. At level 18 Nami holds 117.4 armor to 88.7, so the fights that reach items go her way. Anivia overview.
