Stack your passive (Pyromania) to 3 stacks, then use E to reach 4 — your next offensive ability stuns without revealing the intent.
Your R (Summon: Tibbers) deals massive AoE damage with the passive stun — Flash + R on a group of enemies is one of the best engages in the game.
Q (Disintegrate) refunds its mana and resets its cooldown if it kills the target — use it to farm without losing mana.
Keep Tibbers active in combat: he deals continuous damage and you can control his movement with R.

Playing against Annie
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Watch her passive stack counter (visual indicator): when it glows, she has her stun ready. Back off.
Annie has very short range (625) — harass her with long-range champions to zone her out.
Her Flash + R is her main combo: respect the Flash zone (400 range) when she has 4 stacks and her R available.
After she uses her R, she loses a lot of burst — fight while Tibbers is on cooldown.
