At a glance

Her combo needs your real body — the soul window hides it, the shield blunts it, and the snap-back files the complaint.

Track: Annie's R — Summon: Tibbers (130–100s cooldown). Flash-Tibbers off a stocked passive stun is her whole threat — watch the glow under her feet.

Do

  • W-shield her combo's center
  • E the post-combo silence
  • R the line her escape can't exit

Don't

  • Trade at her range between windows
  • Enter with the snap-back unplanned
  • Eat poke during your E cooldown

How to beat Annie as Yone: the early game

The lane is a skill fight from level 1 to 5, decided entirely by her Pyromania stun: if you respect the stun and only trade when it's down you farm evenly, but one careless dash into a four-stack stun costs you the wave and maybe your life. Track Summon: Tibbers is 130s at rank 1; Disintegrate is 4s and Incinerate 7s, so count casts, not seconds.
