How it works
General
- You play as Mage building Burn items.
- You rush Liandry's Torment.
- You burn your enemies. With DOTs. And debuffs.
How to play
General
- Playing AP Burn Annie build, your default rush is Liandry's Torment vs. HP, Blackfire Torch vs. squishes. Then get the other item
- Adapt to an enemy team. Are they full of tanks, and they rush tons of Magic Resist? You rush Void Staff as #2 or #3 item to counter MR stacking. Their team has champs with lots of healing? Rush Oblivion Orb as #2 item (upgrade to Morellonomicon as 4th or 5th item).
- Items like Morellonomicon or Oblivon Orb are extra effective with this build, thanks to damage over time effects from Liandry's Torment.
- In some rare cases, when an enemy team has an extremely strong shielding, you can even buy Serpent's Fang. It works with your DoTs, meaning shield reduction lasts longer.
- They have lots of melee? Or you just want to kite them? Get Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
- Somebody is going after you each fight? Always getting ulted by enemy assassins? Rush Zhonya's Hourglass.
- If you are doing well, are ahead and want to have some fun, you can buy The Collector item. It works off your damage over time effects!
Tips and Tricks
General
- Keep track of the stacks of your Passive!
- Q has travel time, W is as instant cast, and R is a targeted ability. It means that instant stun that they cannot dodge or site step is W.
- If you are not sure if you will land Tibbers, use Q first to stun them, then use R.
- If you hit somebody with Mark (Snowball) and you go in, it is very telegraphed action. Opponents will expect you to use Tibbers right off. So they will use Flash as soon as you get to them. In such cases, it is better to stun them with Q or W. Followed by Tibbers to destroy them, while they are stunned.
- Preparing to engage? Stack your Passive with W and E.
- If you want to catch somebody off guard or have better engage, use E beforehand.
- Do not be shy and do not wait for 'special moment'. You have good engaging and catching tool - AoE stun with R. Paired with movement speed buff from E + Flash it is a certain AoE stun and often won fight.
Riot
- Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
- Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
- Molten Shield is a good spell to cast to work up to Annie's stun, so sometimes it's beneficial to grab at least 1 rank in it early.
