Anivia rune page

9× Mark of Magic Penetration9× Seal of Armor9× Glyph of Scaling Ability Power3× Quintessence of Ability Power

Flat magic penetration is the strongest first-blood stat in Season 3 - base MR is only 30 at level 1, so 9 marks strip a fifth of it. Scaling AP glyphs beat flat ones from about level 9.

Anivia masteries

21/9/0 Offense. Archmage multiplies your whole AP curve, and Arcane Knowledge stacks with magic penetration marks.
