Hi all, this is my first build on Mobafire. Annie is one of my favorite champions and for good reason. The amount of burst potential she has is amazing. She is a squishy champ, but when played right she can easily dominate games and carry other teammates in ranked.

This is a somewhat standard mage rune page.

Magic pen, mana replenish, CDR, and a little extra hp from quints

Although some may disagree, I like to get q first, then w, and then E at level 3. What a lot of people don't know is that when you use 'E' it actually adds a charge to your next stun. This is an amazing ability to get early on in order to trick your opponent who thinks your stun is down which is why I tend to rush it.

Masteries are standard. It's important for her to get 21 points into utility to get the CDR.

This is a very good build for Annie, however, in some matches this will not be the best setup. Other times I suggest getting are

Abyssal scepter (if you're against a heavy AP team)
Banshees (6th item vs ap nuke team)
Hourglass (situational but good to get if you're constantly being focused
Rylai's is a flavor item. The extra hp is really not needed but if you find you're being focused it's not a bad choice for a 6th item.

Wait until you have 4 charges for your stun and when you're ready to commit to a kill hit your 'E' flash in, use q for stun (or w if its teamfight) followed by 'W' then Tibers, and finally ignite. You are almost garunteed a kill each time flash and ignite is up by doing this.

If you find yourself in a troublesome situation and you know that running will only get you killed, you may as well stay and fight. Annie does a very suprising amount of burst damage and I can count more than one occasion in which I killed someone just by staying in fighting rather than running.

I highly suggest getting a Mejai's on Annie once you are comfortable. My general sequence is to rush catalyst followed by boots and then rush mejais.

This guide is simple and to the point. If you're going to downvote, please state why. Also, do not judge my guide on the "prettiness" so to speak of it. Try the potential item builds and see how well they work.

I will be happy to address any questions, just please comment below
