How to win lane as Akali against Annie · 49.45% win rate over 1,442 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Akali | Your early poke and mobility let you punish her before her Pyromania stun is reliably up |
| Level 2 | Akali | Your damage edge and engage options still outpace her un-stacked combo at this stage |
| Level 3 | Annie | Annie's stacked Pyromania stun into Tibbers is a real burst threat that outraces your combo |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Annie's stun-into-Tibbers combo remains a dangerous all-in you must respect |
| Level 6 | Akali | Your item spike lets your burst and resets outrace her single rotation again |
| First item | Akali | Your combo and stealth engage continue to outclass her cooldown-reliant kit |
| Two+ items | Akali | Your mobility and assassination tools dominate a stationary burst mage this late |
You can out-trade Annie in the first two levels since she needs to burn mana stacking Pyromania before her stun comes online, letting you poke freely with Q and punish her positioning while she's still passive-charging.
