I've been a main anivia for about a year and a half. I have tried her in every position and support is definitely one of them.

Advantages: Impassable terrain that makes people freak and blow flashes while you laugh Meniacally. A full 1 second stun. strong damage level 1-4. An AoE slow an Egg that gives you two lives.

Dis-advantages: Horrendously long CD's for her stun and wall. No matter how well a wall placement is. It may backfire. At any point and time you get caught you are 100% screwed even with egg due to when in egg form her resistances are lowered significantly at the lower levels during laning phase. Her mana is a huge issue especially when trying get a full engage on an enemy post 6. Because she is support she won't be able to keep up with the gold costs to give her the items she needs to maintain the mana regen she requires unless she CS/KS'. Extremely low health. Traveling to the bottom lane after backing feels like years due to her slow movement speed. You will feel underwhelmed by the damage she does post 6 due to you generally maxing your wall first (yes i tried both skill order of E and W and Walls are superior as the support). She is outclassed in almost everyway by traditional supports. Your lane push that you would regularly expect from anivia is not as strong when sieging towers.

Can you play anivia support? Absolutely and it can work very well in your favor especially if you have a gank happy jungler on your team.

Would i recommend it? No, It takes alot of patience to be able set everything up correctly and for you to have good initiates you have a very small window of oppurtunity each time due to projectile speeds.

I'm still curious and just want to try it for the hell of it how does a build differ from support Anivia to Lane anivia?

Well Normally i build my Lane Anivia RoA, Sorc Boots, Liandrys, Zhonya's, Warmogs, Seraph's Embrace. This build has netted me a 65% win rate over 40 games in solo que. I would take a support anivia and build her like this: Talisman, Mobility boots, Liandrys, Seraph's Embrace, Frozen Heart, Ruby Sightone.

The main interchangable item out of this build is Liandrys and Seraph's to your own preference. Other Good options inclue, Locket, Warmogs, Zhonya's.
