Annie Build
the Dark Child
Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable, emotional outbursts, though she eventually learned to control these “playful tricks.” Her favorite includes the summoning of her beloved teddy bear, Tibbers, as a fiery protector. Lost in the perpetual innocence of childhood, Annie wanders the dark forests, always looking for someone to play with.
The most played Annie Mid build on patch 26.21 runs Electrocute with Cheap Shot, Grisly Mementos and Relentless Hunter, plus Absolute Focus and Axiom Arcanist from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Malignance, Spellslinger's Shoes and Shadowflame, followed by Stormsurge, Zhonya's Hourglass and Rabadon's Deathcap. Max Q (Disintegrate) first, then W (Incinerate), then E (Molten Shield). It has a 50.9% win rate and a 1.8% pick rate.
