Key combo
Power spike & playstyle
Explosive spike at 6 with a stunned Tibbers combo and again at first item; play for stacked-stun all-ins and burst level 6 kills.
How to play Annie in League Classic
Annie is point-and-click justice: no skillshots, no counterplay, just stun math. Manage your Pyromania stacks so you walk to lane with a loaded stun — the threat alone zones enemies off CS. Farm with Q refunds, poke with W, and at 6 look for the flash-Tibbers moment every game contains: three enemies within 600 units of each other, one flash, one R, fight over. DFG makes any single target a guaranteed kill. Track your stun count religiously; Annie without a loaded stun is just a farming simulator.
