Anivia: the Cryophoenix



Anivia
Laying an Egg isn't as Easy as it looks.

So today i'm going to talk about Anivia, the Cryophoenix. Anivia is a mid laner with lots of cc. Lately Anivia hasn't really been really played mid lately just because she's too squishy against the assassin/high range game that mid is right now, sadly Anivia fits neither of these two. But she's still tons of fun and also, shes a bird.


Anivia's passive is called rebirth, where Anivia turns into her egg form, where she is vulnerable. If Anivia survives in her egg form for 6 seconds, she is reborn with how much health she had with her egg form.
Team Spirit Anivia
Anivia's Q is called Flash Frost, where Anivia throws an ice sphere at the enemy, it deals damage to anything it goes throw and will stun someone if it explodes on them, it will stun them for a second.
Bird of Prey Anivia
Anivia's W is called Crystallize, where Anivia puts up a wall of ice, blocking off her allies, as well as enemys.
Noxus Hunter Anivia
Anivia's E is called is called Frostbite, where anivia throws an icile that deals double daage, if they are slowed by her q or ult.
Hextech Anivia

Anivia's Ult is called Glacial Storm, where Anivia puts down a small circle ice storm, slowing anyone standing in it and dealing damage for second.


Black Frost Anivia

When I build Anivia I go for a glass cannon build, building nothing but mana and AP, After boots, build rod of ages, seraph's embrace, liandry's torment, items like that.

Anivia's Lore says that she is the Embodiment of Ice Magic, shes an ancient protector of the Freljord, she calls the winds, storms, and ice to defend her home. Anivia is bounded to her land, keeping it safe for the rest of time, because she's a phoenix. Long before mortals settled, Anivia was there protecting the lands. Living and dying many, many times. At the beginning and the end her life cycles, something always changed, such as great storms calming, or the start of a new ice age. When the Cryophoenix dies, an era ends, when she is reborn the next era begins. Anivia doesn't really remember her past lives clearly, but she does know she has to protect the Freljord at all cost. Last time Anivia was reborn, she saw the rise of a great human tribe, she with the tribe, protected the land, until the giant human tribe fractured into 3 tribes, Avarosan (loyal to Queen Ashe), Winter's Claw (loyal to Sejuani), and Frostguard (Loyal to Queen Lissandra). Anivia saw the 3 tribes fighting each other over the rule of the Freljord. While Anivia tried to stop the fighting, she felt a deep evil rise in, or with he ice, she could no longer merely be a guardian, she had to stop it herself. Anivia joined up with Ashe or the Avarosan people altogether to stop the 2 other tribes.

Anivia chooses to join the Avarosan over the other tribes, because they are the tribe of peace, rather than war, like Sejuani's Winter's Claw.
She also doesn't join the Frostgaurd because it's led by Lissandra, who is the evil she feels in her lore.

Next Weeks post plans to be over these tribes and the act of battles itself, just because it's a fun subject and it takes awhile to explain all of it.
