How to play
You rush Heartsteel.
After Heartsteel, you can rush Titanic Hydra (more fun, damage and some survi) AND/OR Sundered Sky or just go full tank - depending on if you are behind and if your team needs more damage.
Sundered Sky is very good damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so Grasp, Heartsteel, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
This is auto attack oriented Annie build, so do it! Especially if running with Titanic Hydra and Sundered Sky as well.
Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for a very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
Triumph is better (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Remember to consume your Heartsteel procs!
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Tips and Tricks
General
Keep track of the stacks of your Passive!
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.
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.
Preparing to engage? Stack your Passive with W and E.
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.
