Best Annie items

As mentioned above, Annie build items are focused on dealing a lot of magic damage, so ability power and cooldown build is so important for the character. That will help Annie to burst enemies when summoning Tibbers and one-shot enemies. These are some items to consider: Luden's tempest, Stasis enchant or an infinity orb, you may also include Ionian boots of lucidity or sorcerer's shoes. Let's discover all items in this Annie guide.

Best Starter Annie Items

Annie should not suffer too much in the early game, even if her auto attacks animations are not the best, farming with Annie's disintegrate ability (Q) which refunds mana when you hit minions and kill them. So, a Doran's ring and some health potions will be perfect for her.

Best Mid Game Annie Items

At this point in the game, Annie is able to deal magic damage and spam Tibbers around the summoner's rift. We recommend Luden's tempest, Shadowflame and Zhonya's Hourglass for the mid game. You may also consider buying some sorcerer's shoes, which is a good mid lane Annie item to take advantage of her immense pyromantic power.
