Azir vs Annie

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize a calm mid lane to farm safely and outscale Annie's burst threat.
Maintain medium lane pressure to force Annie's mana use and deny easy picks.
Use soldier zones to control space and prevent Annie from engaging freely.

Trading pattern

Trade by placing soldiers with (W) and poking safely with (Q), respecting Annie's stun potential.
Avoid trading when Annie's passive stun or (R) is ready to punish you.
Punish Annie when she pushes with (W) and is low on mana by stepping up with soldier poke.

Danger windows

Avoid trading or aggressive positioning when Annie's passive stun and (R) are available.
Using (E) aggressively without (R) leaves you vulnerable to Annie's burst combo.
Watch for Annie's roams post-level 6; push wave and take plates to punish her absence.

Early game

Keep waves stable and poke with (W) and (Q) to disrupt Annie's passive stacks.
Avoid extended fights before your soldiers deal meaningful damage.
Use (E) defensively to escape Annie's all-in attempts, not to engage.

Power spikes

Respect level 6 when Annie gains (R) for burst and pick threat.
Your level 6 (R) provides major safety and counter-engage potential.
First mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage and lane threat.

Win conditions

Maintain safe farming and chip Annie with soldiers to drain her mana and limit picks.
Use (R) to disrupt Annie's all-ins and isolate her during fights.
Outscale Annie by hitting item spikes and controlling fights with soldier positioning around objectives.

Tip: For Azir vs Annie, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
