Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have a meaningful advantage at level 3 when you have Q, W, and E available, as your E shield absorbs Annie's burst and the fear interrupts her follow-up, but Annie's point-and-click stun means you can never fully negate her damage; post-6, Annie's R is a guaranteed stun into full combo that kills you if she has passive stacks ready, so you must track her stun indicator obsessively or you lose the 1v1 outright.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to use E proactively when Annie walks up to stack her passive, absorbing her Q with the shield and fearing her to interrupt her combo, then following up with Q and W for damage; do not try to all-in her at full passive stacks — instead, force her to waste her stun on a bad trade so you can punish the cooldown window.
Wave Control
- You want to keep the wave slightly in your favor or even, using Q to poke Annie when she walks up to CS and W to clear when she shoves, denying her free passive stacking on minions; if you let her freely farm and stack passive off the wave, she will always have her stun ready for any engage, removing your ability to react.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use your E reactively after Annie has already landed her stun — the fear only triggers on dash or jump abilities, and Annie's R is not a dash, meaning your E will not save you once her combo has started; you must use E preemptively when you see her walking up with a full passive bar.
