| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Annie | Annie's stun-Tibbers threat and Disintegrate poke win the early trading war cleanly |
| Level 2 | Annie | Her passive stun window continues to punish any aggressive play from you |
| Level 3 | Annie | Sustained poke and burst threat keep her ahead through the mid-wave phase |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | Tibbers plus a stun remains a full kill combo that outclasses your options at this stage |
| Level 6 | Annie | Her all-in burst combo stays dangerous and defines this phase in her favour |
| First item | Azir | Your item spike lets your poke and range finally outtrade her burst combo |
| Two+ items | Azir | Your scaling wave clear and ultimate utility put you ahead once fights become 5v5 |
Annie's stun-into-Tibbers combo is a constant kill threat every time her passive is up, and her Disintegrate poke chips you for free while you're trying to farm with soldiers, so you need to track her stun stacks closely and avoid extending trades until you can see it's down.
