Annie Tips and Tricks

Look for frequent picks with R as soon as you reach level 6. Annie’s all-in potential against squishy champions is incredibly strong. During trades, try to play around your stun. Before level 6, use your Q to apply the stun rather than W, as it guarantees the effect. Annie excels at initiating team fights if she can find a flank. Running directly at the enemy is difficult, but setting up ambushes in bushes and waiting for opponents to walk by before unleashing Tibbers R can be highly effective.
