I would have to disagree with the claim you have presented about the innate being better than 's.

What may stand out strong about the passive is its AoE damage. But not only is that area relatively small and avoidable, it also deals minuscule damage. It also starts out at 20% health compared to Anivia's 100%, and while Zaphira could attempt to regain health by killing champions, it's very unlikely she can accomplish this goal. Lastly, the 5 - 8 number of hits make it so that no matter how tanky Zaphira builds, her egg is ever fragile to AA-enhanced champions and minion waves.
