How to play Annie
Read the full guide
Stay on 3 passive stacks more often than showing 4, and use Q in flight plus E to hide the fourth stack and stun timing; on moving targets, W-flash is often the cleaner catch than forcing every engage through Flash-R .
Annie lane gets its shape from autos and Q last-hits making every minion awkward to touch, while careless W spam is one of the fastest ways to lose the mana and threat that make level 6 matter .
When fights get scrappy or you fall behind, play Annie like a trap near your team: guard entrances, punish facechecks, and stun the diver who crosses into your carries instead of waiting for a perfect backline Tibbers, because she stays unusually functional from bad early states if the game goes long .
When Flash is up, think less about forcing a highlight and more about whether the enemy has already given you a committed position. The best Annie Flash uses are usually when someone is locked into a minion, walking through a choke, stepping to clear vision, or diving into your team with no easy exit. If the target is moving unpredictably and you only need the first catch, W-flash is often cleaner than waiting for the perfect Tibbers angle. If your team cannot reach the follow-up or Tibbers is down, be willing to keep Flash and let the threat do the work for another wave or objective setup.
After casting 4 spells, Annie's next offensive spell will stun the target.Annie begins the game and respawns with Pyromania available.
Annie hurls a Mana infused fireball, dealing damage and refunding the Mana cost if it destroys the target.
Annie casts a blazing cone of fire, dealing damage to all enemies in the area.
Grants Annie or an ally a shield, a burst of Move Speed, and damages enemies who strike her with attacks or spells.
Annie wills her bear Tibbers to life, dealing damage to units in the area. Tibbers can attack and also burns enemies that stand near him.
