Playing as Annie

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Farm with Disintegrate

    Last-hit minions with Disintegrate (Q): if the target dies, the spell refunds its mana and its cooldown is halved.

  2. Stack your stun with your shield

    Stack Pyromania (passive) with Molten Shield (E): after 4 spells, your next offensive spell stuns, without you having to step forward.

  3. Tibbers with your stun ready

    Cast Summon: Tibbers (R) on a group when Pyromania (passive) is ready, after a Flash if needed: the summon then stuns the enemies hit.

  4. Control Tibbers

    Recast Summon: Tibbers (R) to direct Tibbers: he burns nearby enemies, and each stun you land on a champion makes him enraged and faster.

Playing against Syndra

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't line up with her spheres

    Don't stand in line between Syndra and one of her spheres: Scatter the Weak (E) pushes it toward you, and it stuns the enemies it hits.

  2. Engage after Scatter the Weak

    If you can engage, go in right after Scatter the Weak (E): she has no dash and nothing else to push you back during its 15-second cooldown.

  3. Count her spheres once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, count her spheres before taking a trade: Unleashed Power (R) launches the 3 orbiting her at you, plus up to 4 more nearby.
