| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 you out-range her Disintegrate and poke for free. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 she can only farm while you chunk her safely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 her Pyromania stun evens the trade to a skill check. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even as you weigh poke against her stun. |
| Level 6 | Annie | At 6 Annie's Flash stun into Tibbers one-shots you from full. |
| First item | Even / skill | With first item it's a skill check, your range versus her engage. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late it's decided by who lands their combo, range as tiebreaker. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: you out-range Annie's Disintegrate and Incinerate, so poke her freely while she can only farm and hasn't charged her stun. Track Summon: Tibbers: 130s at rank 1, 100s at rank 3 — Flash-Tibbers off a stocked Pyromania stun is her whole threat, so watch the glow under her feet. Full kit both ways: her fourth cast stocks Pyromania, so trade right after she spends it.
