Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 poke trades due to Annie's range advantage and Q sustain, but you can win all-ins if she wastes stun or you dodge her combo.
- Post-6 your R gives you the mobility to either engage through her stun or escape her burst, making you favored in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading is waiting for Annie to use abilities on minions, then E+Q+W combo when her stun is down.
- If she has stun ready, bait it with E movement then disengage, or commit fully with R to power through her burst and finish the kill.
Wave Control
- Let Annie push early and farm safely with Q, then look for all-ins when the wave bounces back to your side.
- After level 6, you can manipulate waves more aggressively since your R gives you escape tools and kill pressure even when behind in CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't take extended poke trades without committing to an all-in since Annie will out-sustain you with Q.
- Never engage without knowing where her stun stacks are, and don't waste your E dash without having R available to follow up or escape.
