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 Talon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his blades on the return

    Get out of the path of Rake (W), especially on the return: the returning blades slow you, and each spell that hits brings you closer to Blade's End (passive).

  2. Push to keep him in lane

    Push your wave whenever you can: he then has to stay and farm instead of roaming by vaulting walls with Assassin's Path (E).

  3. Engage when his ult is on cooldown

    If you can engage, go for him while Shadow Assault (R) is on cooldown: it's his main way out of a fight, and it comes back in 100 to 60 seconds.

  4. Ping as soon as he disappears

    Ping your team as soon as he leaves your vision, and ward the paths behind walls: Assassin's Path (E) lets him vault walls to roam through the jungle.
