How it works

General

  1. You rush Echoes of Helia.
  2. You play aggressively, getting Echoes of Helia stacks and spending them as soon as you can.
  3. You can proc this item consistently with Guardian and Font of Life rune, Heal summoner spell, items and abilities.
  4. You adapt to your team's needs: more support, more damage or even more tank.

Playstyle

  1. ⚔️ Play aggressively, deal damage and poke to stack Echoes of Helia.
  2. 💥 Trigger Helia as often as possible with abilities, runes, summoners and items.
  3. 🛡️ Support allies while dealing damage to enemies.

How to play

General

  1. Get Echoes of Helia #1. Then you need to adapt in the game to your team and to the enemy team.
  2. Usual item order: Echoes of Helia -> Moonstone Renewer -> Redemption -> Locket of the Iron Solari then adapt.
  3. Counter enemy team, go more support or go more damage. You can even build some tank items if needed.

Adaptation

  1. Your team needs to engage or position? Get items like Shurelya's Battlesong or Trailblazer.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If you are just getting poked and cannot manage to stay alive - get Kaenic Rookern or Warmog's Armor (caution: needs enough HP!)
  4. You have tanks, bruisers and your team lack damage? As a last resort, you can buy few items to even help with that!
  5. Remember to counter an enemy team. For example, if they have lots of healing, get Oblivion Orb early.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Keep track of the stacks of your Pyromania (Passive)!
  2. Disintegrate (Q) has travel time, Incinerate (W) is as instant cast, and Summon: Tibbers (R) is a targeted ability. It means that instant stun that they cannot dodge or site step is W.
  3. If you are not sure if you will land Tibbers, use Q first to stun them, then use R.
  4. 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.
  5. Preparing to engage? Stack your Pyromania (Passive) with Incinerate (W) and Molten Shield (E).
  6. If you want to catch somebody off guard or have better engage, use Molten Shield (E) on yourself for Movement Speed buff beforehand.
  7. Annie combo #1: you can stun somebody with Disintegrate (Q) with 3 stacks! It has travel time, so during that you can use W or E to get full stacks and Q will still stun them.
  8. 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

  1. Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
  2. Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
  3. 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.
