Who Wins

  • You win trades pre-6 through superior range with Q poke and W damage reduction, but Annie's Q last-hitting gives her better mana efficiency.
  • Post-6 you have kill pressure with R ganks, but Annie's burst combo with R can 100-0 you if you're not careful with positioning.

How to Trade

  • Your optimal trading pattern is Q poke when Annie goes for CS, then W to reduce her retaliation damage while walking away.
  • If she commits with W-Q, you can E through her to gap close and extend the trade with passive-empowered autos.

Wave Control

  • Push early waves with Q to establish priority since Annie struggles to match your waveclear, then look for roam timings with R.
  • Avoid slow-pushing into Annie as she can freeze and zone you with stun threat when the wave bounces back.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use E aggressively without vision as it's your only escape tool against Annie's flash-R burst combo.
  • Never trade when she has 3+ passive stacks unless you can guarantee killing her, as her stun setup makes you extremely vulnerable to jungle ganks.
