Who am I?
My nickname is Betino, but you can call me Protobelt (like, thee best Annie's engage item).
I'm from Brazil and I've been playing Wild Rift since October 2020.
I found myself playing Annie because she is a stronger champion (and child too - lore). Sometime people says that Annie doesn't have any "mechanics" but, you know, try to be impactful in the game like you do. No one do what we (who plays Annie) do.
Tank you to read my Annie's guide! Good luck on your next matches.
Considerations
- Annie is so weak on early game that your job is acquire gold and xp to be stronger enough to insta kill anyone that try to face you.
- Keep in mind that Annie's wave clear is poor in comparison to others midlaners, so try to not give to much gold and xp.
- Always think twice if you can help your jungler on invades or whatever else. If you are low level yet, your mana is scarce. Try to not miss your skills.
- In the first 3 minutes try to just last hit minions and get stronger. Don't leave your lane alone at least your jungler needs some help ON RIVER and her jungle.
- Try to push the first wave first than your enemy and ward the raptors (use Disintegrate to disturb the enemy jungler) or the blue buff. Helps a lot know where is the enemy jungler in the first moments.
- Keep an eye in the mini map and another in your enemy mid laner. If there is no ward in the river, you shouldn't walk there without know where is the enemy mid and jungler.
- Try to explode champions that helps anothers like Soraka , Lulu or try to stop champions that can stole the objectives like Tryndamere , Evelynn or even AD Carries like Draven , Vayne ...
Abilities tips
- Pyromania : after use 4 abilities, the next one will stun the enemy. There is an aura around you to indicate that your next ability will stun, so if you use three abilities and use Molten Shield as a stack, you can surprise your enemies using Molten Shield and whatever other ability to stun enemies very quickly.
- Disintegrate : try to last hit minions using this. If you kill using this skill, your mana cost and half it's cooldown is restored. Don't try to use Disintegrate as a stun all times. It's slow and your enemy can walk away from it easily further he is from you.
- Incinerate : good for team fights and to kill minions in front of your Disintegrate skill. Try to use second then first skill to deal max damage to your enemy.
- Molten Shield : use your shield to reflect damage to minions and push wave, or even shield Tibbers and make your enemies receive more damage yet reflecting theirs damage to them.
- Summon: Tibbers : call Tibbers to help you kill someone away from their team or even to stop everyone for a good time in a team fight. Always select a target to Tibbers attack, this guarantees you that Tibbers will follow the enemy until they be far away from you. You can summon Tibbers to help you to attack towers too but don't forget that Tibbers deal damage to enemies nearby him, so the tower will focus on you if it occurs.
