So start of by buying an Amplifying Tome and a Mana Potion then head directly to your assigned lane. I recommend you go for mid because it will help you a lot in feeding yourself gold and level. When the game starts, all you have to do during early game is to spam Disintegrate as many as you can without messing up your mana usage. You may be wondering how will you do that. Just simply use Disintegrate skill to last hit minions. It means you will use it whenever a minion is nearly on it's death. Now, with proper game play, you will surely dominate the game. Of course from time to time you should attack your enemy as well. There's no problem in what we call as "cheap shot". Whenever you have the opportunity to attack your opponent, take it but, try not to get hit by them. Not being hit is a part of dominating the game. And by the way, Disintegrate is the main skill used by Annie. So i suggest when you add your skills focus on Disintegrate first. And also, you should never leave your lane when you have a lot of health and mana. Now, if your enemy is trying to harass you. You can use the turret for back up. That means you will let them push your lane until they're near the turret. But of course, you should never let the minions or the enemy hit your turret. Just wait until you reach level 6 and get your stun ready. Then kill your enemy by using a combo of your skills. Summon : Tibbers ( on the area where your enemy is ) - Exhaust ( make sure you click the right enemy, not the minions ) - Disintegrate - Incinerate - Ghost then Disintegrate ( If your enemy has survived your attack ). And there you would have your first kill in the game. If your health and mana is too low. Recall and buy your next item. In buying items i recommend you go for Mejai's Soulstealer first then Boots of Speed. Or just Mejai first if you have insufficient gold.
Mid to Late Game
Now this is where you will start roaming around the map for kills. Of course you should inform your teammates if you are going to kill either the enemies on bottom or top. If you dominate your lane during early game you will not have a hard time. Mid to Late game is kinda fun. This is the part where clashes / team fights occur. But this is the time you " might " be focused upon by your enemies. It depends on your enemies if they will focus on you or they'll just stay away from wherever you are. Now, during team fights. Annie should always have her stun ready, in any second an ambush might happen. It's better for you if you always have your stun because if your laning solo specially when you are on mid, You will be able to escape them just by using any AoE skill. This kind of scenario happens if you are being focused on. Now, you may use either Incinerate or Summon : Tibbers. In my case, i will use Annie's summon. Why? Summon skill has a wider area of effect and casting range. That means it has a greater chance to stun enemy heroes even if you have a medium distance with your enemies. Of course Ghost will help you too in escaping. Never forget that. But i am telling you that you need to use this with a perfect timing. Now, if you are done roaming around the map. You can start pushing enemy turrets so you can finish the game. By this time, your enemies will definitely avoid you when you encounter them. In 1 on 1 fights, they will never stand a chance against you specially if you have your stun and your Summon : Tibbers skill ready. You may ask for your teammates' help if you are going to push a lane. The best way to push a lane is by telling your 4 teammates to destroy the turret that has a low hp. Never ever dive into the turret if you don't have tibbers with you. Tibbers can be used for turret diving. Continue doing this kind of process and you will be able to win the game. You can check my previous games with Annie. Oh and by the way, if you happen to have 20 stacks from your Mejai's Soulstealer. And complete the item build that I listed. You will have approximately 880 - 900+ AP. You can view the full guide for Annie by clicking the " Full Guide for Annie " link on the upper right corner of the page. You would be able to see the other posts regarding Annie ( Item Build, Skill build, etc ). Feel free to leave your feedbacks, comments and suggestion. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you'll appreciate my guide. God bless everyone.
