Tips for Playing as Azir with Annie
Be a bird!
In the lane, try to position your soldiers between the enemy's minions and the enemy champion. This way you can use them both to last hit and to project threat onto your lane opponent.
Be careful about putting down both of the soldiers stored by Arise! Unless you're going all-in, always have a soldier in your back pocket if you need to escape over a wall or if you misposition your other soldier and need damage now.
Think of Emperor's Divide as a defensive ability first and foremost. Use it when the enemy engages on you or your allies. Remember that your team can walk through the soldiers summoned by Emperor's Divide and use this to your advantage when enemy melee champions engage on you.

Playing on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Azir and Annie together, you may not be granting your team a lot of tankyness. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Annie ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
