Introduction
Basic Understanding:
[*] The primary mission of Annie is to take down enemy AD Carry and Caster.
[*] Annie is Squishy and would like to hide behind the tank.
[*] You are using smart cast and can launch all your skill within 0.2 second
This is my real game play video recorded by 'fettaffe', who play as enemy

!!!!!!!!!!VIEDO!!!!!!!!!!
The final fight would illustrate the build part, introduction, and unique skill-flash.
While I am writing this guild, I got a 6 win streak in rank game with Annie in NA rank.(total 7 win streak in rank game with Annie and Saroka.)

Charge 3 instead of 4
Pyromania
Annie the Dark Child/Strategy from LoL wiki
Quoted:
Sometimes it is smarter to approach an enemy with 3
Pyromania charges instead of 4 to appear vulnerable. You can then quickly charge the stun with
Molten Shield. It can also allow you to break
Banshee's Veil with a weaker spell before using a spell (especially Summon
Summon: Tibbers) that stuns them.

Unlike most of the guild,
Molten Shield would be ready at level 10 instead of level 4 here.
Early game +50 damage is the only reason.
Incinerate(Magic Damage: 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+0.75 per ability power)) would upgrade at level:2-4-8-12-13 (not like the common way 2-8-10-12-13)
Compare with 2-4-8-12-13 and 2-8-10-12-13 sequence of
Incinerate
Level 4 +50(130-80) damage
Level 5 +50(130-80) damage
Level 6 +50(130-80) damage
Level 7 +50(130-80) damage
Level 8 +50(180-130) damage
Level 9 +50(180-130) damage
2-4-8-12-13 would sacrifice stun
Pyromania charge speed from level 4-9, that could be crucial for gank and anti-gank. Your jungler may have to wait at bush for 4-12 second for the gank.

As a midfielder, these are the guys
you may face:
Skill shot type:
Ahri,
Brand,
Kennen,
Lux,
Morgana,
Twisted Fate,
Xerath,
Ziggs.
I would love to lane against the champio above before level 6. For 2 reasons:
1. All of their main spell take longer CD than Annie Q do.
2. Skill shot is easy to dodge. (All about positioning, I can't tell.)
(method A) try to move as a big 'S' or 'Z', or even flash to them(not directly ok?) when they use skill shot to initiat a fight, they will just miss it and take a long cool down.
(method B) hide behind your minions and make a move if needed. For instant,
Brand
Conflagration is up and minion next to you is ablaze-ing.
AoE spell type:
Cassiopeia,
Cho'Gath,
Gragas,
Heimerdinger,
Mordekaiser,
Viktor. Some of them have AoE CC spell, as
Annie is a super squishy champion, get a single controlled could lead to death, dont get close.
Flasher type:
Akali,
Fizz,
LeBlanc,
Master Yi(AP). You should have you stun ready, dont Press W or R first, the key is
DisintegrateQ, that stun can lead to
IncinerateW, good hp exchange.
Others:
Sion,
Vladimir,
Fiddlesticks,
Karthus,
Malzahar,
Galio,
Ryze.
Sion: If he is an AD Sion, you may use your spell to break his
Death's Caresswithin first 4 second, when he can't donate his shield. Remember you can harss him hard before level 6 with you abilities, even your auto-attack, after an AD
Sion reach level 6, be careful of his
Cannibalism, which can make him stun and dive. His stun
Cryptic Gaze is just range 550, you may stun him first.If he go for AP, wait for his
Death's Caressexplode, then get close for HP exchange.
Vladimir: that is why Annie need some spell vamp. remember to use your
DisintegrateQ to stun or he just
Sanguine Pool to dodge all your spell. Stun first and hit. Although he may dodge
DisintegrateQ with stun, you stun is still on, just wait for his body and
IncinerateW stun him, follow by
DisintegrateQ. Nice HP exchange.
Karthus: Not a good idea to exchange with him when he reach level 3. Always remember his
Wall of Pain range 1000, when you fall back and he wall on you, he jungle will take you out first. For
Requiem, I've low hp in a game and run out from
Karthus, he ult me, and I realize that I can't escape from that, so I flash to him and use 2 spell to charge a stun and stunned him. Then I run again and was saved, btw, my jungler arrive after that and killed him.
Counter type(which means I dont know what to do with after level 6):
Kassadin,
LeBlanc,
Veigar. Before level 6,
Annie can harss them hard. Please leave me a message if you know what to do with them with
Annie. I would love to learn that.
Enemy jungler:
Shaco:most likely come out from bush besides middle road. There would be an orange somke come out. Just run to the opposit side at once.
Udyr,
Rammus: They can run fast, probably come out from your back, don't over extend when you have no idea where they are.
Nocturne: always get your
Pyromania ready at 3, so that when he come with
Shroud of Darkness, you can use
Disintegrate to break it first and charge the stun
Pyromania to 4, follow by
Incinerate.
Alistar's
Headbuttrange 650, which means he can attack before you fight back(your
Disintegrate and
Incinerate Range 625), Run and don't wait for that 2 CC ability (
Headbutt and
Pulverize).
Fiddlesticks: Go for him at 6:45-7:10 in his blue. You may wait in his bush and nuke him down. Buff and 300 golds is yours, for he is as squichy as
Annie does.
