Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Annie's superior range, mana efficiency, and consistent poke with Q, while your Q costs more mana and has shorter range.
- Post-6 you still lose all-ins since Annie's burst combo kills you faster than your R can provide escape or meaningful damage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W dash onto Annie when her stun is down, then immediately Q+auto and W back to safety before she can retaliate.
- Only commit to extended trades if you can land Q through minions to reduce its cooldown and follow up with multiple spell rotations.
Wave Control
- Focus on farming safely and matching Annie's push with Q on minion waves to maintain mana efficiency through cooldown reduction.
- Look for roaming opportunities when Annie recalls or uses abilities on minions, as your W provides better mobility for side lane plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Annie's early game aggression or fight when she has stun stacks ready, as her burst damage and point-click reliability beats your skill-shot dependent kit.
- Avoid using W aggressively without vision of enemy jungler, as Annie's stun makes you extremely vulnerable to ganks during your dash animation.
