General Playstyle and Advice on Farming with Annie:

‍Annie is a burst mage who excels at locking down and quickly eliminating targets. She is relatively easy to play, with a straightforward kit. Her Q ability, Disintegrate, is a great farming tool as it refunds mana and its cooldown is halved if it kills a unit. Use this to your advantage to last-hit minions and stack your passive stun.

General Gameplay for Laning, Early, Mid, and Late Game with Annie:

‍In the early game, focus on farming and poking your opponent with Q and auto-attacks. Once you hit level 6, look for opportunities to all-in your opponent with your full combo, ideally when your passive stun is ready.

In the mid-game, look to roam and help your team secure objectives. Your ultimate, Tibbers, is a powerful tool in team fights. Try to use it when you can hit multiple enemies and when your passive stun is ready.

In the late game, stick with your team. Your role in team fights is to burst down the enemy carries. Be patient and wait for the right moment to unleash your combo.

How to Play in a Team Fight with Annie:

‍In team fights, your primary goal is to burst down the enemy's squishy carries. Look for opportunities to stun multiple enemies with your passive-enhanced Tibbers. After your initial burst, stay in the backline and use your abilities to peel for your team.

What to Do for the Dragon and Baron Objective:

‍For Dragon and Baron objectives, your role is to provide control with your stun and burst damage. Use your stun to catch out enemies who come to contest the objective. If your team is the one contesting, look for opportunities to steal the objective with your Q or Tibbers.

Good and Bad Matchups for Annie:

‍Annie struggles against champions who outrange her or can interrupt her combo, such as Syndra. She excels against champions who are squishy and lack mobility, as she can easily burst them down.

Champions That Are Strong and Weak Against Annie:

‍Strong Against: Twisted Fate, Vladimir, Ryze, etc. These champions do not outrange Annie and are squishy, making them easy targets for her burst combo.Weak Against: Syndra, Azir, Viktor, Neeko. These champions outrange Annie and can poke her down or interrupt her combo. Remember, these are general guidelines and the actual gameplay can vary based on various factors such as individual skill, team composition, and game state. This was Annie’s ultimate mid guide for the latest patch.
