Learn how to Annie counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Track Annie's passive stacks and adjust your positioning accordingly — when her passive is glowing (indicating her stun is ready), play further back to avoid her devastating combo.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Play with extra caution when Annie reaches level 6 — her Flash + R (Tibbers) + stun combo can burst down most champions from 70% health.
Basic Lane Phase
Look to trade with Annie when her passive is at 0 or 1 stack — this gives you a window where she can't immediately stun you.
Lane Phase
Items like Banshee's Veil, Mercury's Treads, or other magic resistance items significantly reduce Annie's burst potential and can block or reduce her stun.
Lane Phase Late Game
Maintain distance from teammates in team fights against Annie — her R (Tibbers) and W abilities can stun and damage multiple targets in an area, potentially winning team fights with a single rotation.
Team Fight
Look to trade or engage when Annie uses her W to farm — this 8-second cooldown removes a significant portion of her damage potential and slows her passive stacking.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Annie pushes past the middle of lane, call for ganks — with no dashes or blinks, she's extremely vulnerable to flanking approaches when her E movement speed boost is on cooldown.
Skirmish
If playing a longer-range champion, use your range advantage to poke Annie down — her abilities have relatively short range (around 600 units), making her vulnerable to champions who can damage her from outside her threat zone.
Advanced Lane Phase
When Annie summons Tibbers, create distance initially, then re-engage when her stun and burst are on cooldown — Tibbers is less threatening without Annie's follow-up abilities.
Advanced Team Fight
Place Control Wards in side brushes and river entrances when facing Annie — her flash + stun combo is much less effective when initiated from visible positions.
