Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through hook threat, passive lockdown, and superior base damages in extended trades with Lucian follow-up.
- Post-6: Skill matchup where your R can match Annie's engage potential, but her burst damage becomes more threatening than your lockdown.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead with hook when Annie abilities are on cooldown, then immediately passive-AA the hooked target while Lucian follows with E-combo.
- Your E should be used to extend trades and prevent enemy escapes rather than initiate fights.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when enemies are low and forced to base - mid lane ganks are highly effective with your R-Q combo.
- Time roams around Annie's back timings since she'll likely follow your movements.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook through minions blindly as Annie can easily punish with W-Q combo while you're animation locked.
- Never engage without tracking Annie's flash-R threat range - her burst can turn your successful hook into your death.
