Annie FAQs

Q: What makes Annie a good beginner champion?

A: Annie is simple to learn because she has just one mechanic: when your stun is up, blow all of your abilities at the same time on an enemy. Additionally, once summoned, Tibbers can help you deal a lot of extra damage without even trying :p. Annie is considered by many to be the easiest champion to learn how to play in League of Legends, yet she is still powerful and fun to play!

Q: What is one of Annie's greatest strengths?

A: Her stun has a large area-of-effect and no cast delay. She can stop just about any enemy in their tracks, and if they are reduced in health, she will likely delete them too.

Q: What is one of Annie's weaknesses that I should be aware of?

A: Her spells have a relatively short range. In one-on-one fights, this is rarely an issue; she deals so much damage and can back away while her target is stunned. However, if she's facing many enemies, she's left open too close to her enemies with all of her abilities on cooldown. In teamfights, she won't last long without support.

Additional Annie Build Insights

LoL Annie players will likely find her to be a dynamic champ to build out properly. You will see that her build changes when she is playing against either diversified or specialized team comps, showing you should not follow the same Annie build every round of League of Legends

The most critical items to incorporate into your champ's build include: Liandry's Anguish, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Demonic Embrace. Players who added these pieces in their setups had a much higher winrate than those who went for other item builds for Annie. Likewise, if you are playing a well-mixed enemy team composition, you should really consider grabbing her the Domination, and Sorcery runes. In recent games, she won the greatest percentage of her rounds when using these runes.

We set our Annie build recommendations by examining 34,863 recently ranked League of Legends games with her selected. We only recommend the highest winrate Annie builds that were built by ranked League players enough times for us to suggest them. With so many matches in our data, we are confident in our recommended builds.
