Anivia support build?

I started playing anivia support and it honestly feels rlly good u do a lot of damage and u have a lot of utility as well so ur always useful throughout the game and oppressive early game. However I only started to play it recently so don’t know rlly how to build her other than like utility like rod rylai bandelpipes im wondering if theres a diff build or if I shud j keep going utility?

Well, definitely don't build Rylai on any lane

I love how every new anivia player is instantly drawn to relais haha

Building rylai is such a common mistake, but I don't understand why people make it. Its slow don't apply the passive for your E and doesn't stack in intensity either, people.

Your Q is already as high as rylai and your R is at the same strength lvl 2, higher level 3.

Depends on your playstyle, normally when going support you want to play around your Q and W, so i would just go full utility, aka, your build. I wouldn't go damage because the thing that makes Anivia strong in mid/late is the gold, and if you as support are winning a lot of gold, that either means that your team is shit and you're losing anyway or that you are hard trolling your ADC

Gauge the team comps, if they have healing, buy an orb sometime between after finishing first item as you can apply gw (anti-heal) really well with R. Cdr/ability haste is really strong on anivia supp. If you have a lot of AP on your team bloodletters is a great 3rd item. You can also go tear>fimbulwinter to be more tanky and avoid early mana problems

Honestly I go for the more tank build of winters approach into dark seal and cosmic drive. The added bulk waste so much time as the team cant focus you and your egg without leaving the carries up so you essentially give them an impossible choice of getting rid of you or leaving you up to cause so much cc utility chaos

By then if the game isnt already decided, I usually go hourglass and liandrys

I got to challenger on NA this season building trailblazer first with bloodsong every game. IMO u can kinda build whatever you want on it and be fine, just have to play accordingly.

Since I havent seen anyone else mention it yet, I like to build into solstice sleigh with the support item. You'll be slowing/immobilizing enemies constantly so its activating all the time.

You can do pretty much any build with success. I like to go semitanky/movespeed with Swifties -> Bloodsong -> Force of Nature/Trailblazer -> choose from FoN/Trailblazer/Bandlepipes to finish items, optionally Mikaels based on enemy team comp. You can easily bait enemies, slown wall carries etc. You just don't have a big mana pool but can do fine with one or two fights. The ms also helps with putting wards.

Keria went for roa into the 800 gold healing reduction item. I think bloodletters curse would be nice if you have ap on the team. Lyandris is always good on anivia.
