Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
  • Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
  • Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.

Playing against

  • Annie's summoned bear, Tibbers, burns opposing units around himself. Try to keep your distance from him after he's been summoned.
  • Summoner Smite can be used to help take down Tibbers.
  • Keep an eye out for a white, swirling power around Annie. It means she's ready to unleash her stun.
