Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and mobility, as your Q poke and auto-attack range outclass Annie's short-range abilities.
- Post-6 becomes significantly more dangerous as Annie's R-W combo can 100-0 you if you're caught without your E available.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke followed by auto-attacks while kiting backwards, using your passive's second auto for extra damage.
- Always keep your E available as an escape tool rather than engaging with it, since Annie can punish aggressive E usage with her stun combo.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push or freeze near your side of the lane to create longer trading windows where your mobility advantage matters most.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can roam, as Annie excels at farming safely under tower and setting up ganks in the river.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your E aggressively when Annie has her passive stun available, as she can easily land her full combo on your predictable swing trajectory.
- Don't underestimate her kill pressure at level 6 - respect her flash range even when you think you're safely positioned.
