Playstyle
Her passive stuns on every fourth spell, so through the whole laning phase the question "does she have stun up" is itself the pressure. Standing near a bush with a stun banked keeps the enemy carry from stepping forward at all. R (Summon Tibbers) only becomes an area stun when the passive is charged, so nothing gets wasted right before a fight. Build survival and roam speed before damage: Sightstone and Shurelya's first, then Deathfire Grasp for the burst.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying 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.
