Movement speed that keeps you moving after a burst

  • Spellslinger's Shoes
  • Luden's Echo
  • Rabadon's Deathcap
  • Void Staff
  • Hextech Rocketbelt
  • Stormsurge

When you want to keep moving right after landing your damage

Stormsurge's Stormraider triggers when you damage a champion for 25% of their max HP within 2.5 seconds, applying Squall and granting you 25% bonus Movement Speed for 2.5s on a 25-second cooldown. Squall strikes two seconds later for 125 plus 10% AP magic damage, and if the target dies before that, it detonates immediately and pays out 25 gold. The item itself carries 90 Ability Power and 15 Magic Penetration. The build totals 520 Ability Power with 33 flat and 48% Magic Penetration, plus 45 Movement Speed and a further 6%.

Infinity Orb crits to finish low-health targets

  • Spellslinger's Shoes
  • Luden's Echo
  • Rabadon's Deathcap
  • Hextech Rocketbelt
  • Infinity Orb
  • Void Staff

When enemies keep surviving a trade at low health and escaping

Infinity Orb's Inevitable Demise makes abilities and empowered attacks critically strike for 20% bonus damage against enemies below 35% HP. That is the piece for closing out a target who would otherwise crawl away. Its 110 Ability Power beats the 90 on build 1's Stormsurge and lifts the build to 540 Ability Power. Magic Penetration stays at 33 flat and 48%, the same as build 1.

Annie Strengths

  • High burst built around her passive stun
  • Skill 1 refunds mana and halves its cooldown on kills
  • Ult deals heavy damage on summon plus a knock-up on recast

Annie Weaknesses

  • ×No dashes; Skill 3's speed boost is her only escape
  • ×Stun needs 4 ability casts, so stack management is strict

Early Game

Secure last hits with Skill 1 and use the mana refund to stay in lane. Stack management is Annie's lifeline. Keep your passive stun charged to apply pressure, and punish with poke when the enemy steps out of position.

Mid Game

A surprise engage with Flash or Protobelt into Tibbers is a major threat to the enemy. Sync with your jungler or wait in an unwarded bush, and delete any target that walks too close with one combo.

Late Game

Late-game Annie has the burst to remove an enemy ADC or mage in an instant. You are squishy too, so never walk in from the front. Play like an assassin and target the enemy carries from blind spots.

Teamfights

The outcome of a teamfight depends on how you use Ult. Hold your stun and land Tibbers on several enemies to decide the fight. After the engage, shield yourself and Tibbers with Skill 3 while dealing steady damage with low-cooldown Skill 1 and Skill 2.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Holding stun and missing CS

Do not hold your stun so long that you miss CS. Pressure matters, but losing minion gold defeats the purpose. Engaging without your stun ready also just makes you a target. Once you unlock Tibbers at Level 5, combine it with Flash for a combo that finishes the enemy carry.

Annie Combos

Annie Patch History

Annie
AnniePatch 7.2
Buff
Do it! Tibbers! [New] Tibbers' basic attacks now inherit Annie's MR penetration and MR penetration rate. Tibbers used to eat the target's full MR after the ultimate landed, which made him little more than a distraction once a fight dragged on. With Annie's penetration now applying to him, he stays a real damage source after the opening burst. The gap is widest against frontliners he can stick to, so Annie has a much better finish once the enemy shifts focus off her.
