Lux vs Annie

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Lux is a long-range artillery mage who controls lane with poke and binding threat to deny Annie's burst picks.
Apply consistent pressure to prevent Annie from safely stacking her passive or setting up R engages.

Trading pattern

Poke with E and punish Annie's overextensions by landing Q root into burst combo.
Avoid reckless Q usage since missing it leaves you vulnerable to Annie's burst and passive stun.
Respect Annie's passive stun and R; avoid extended trades when her stun is available.

Danger windows

Annie is most dangerous when her passive stun is charged and R is available; avoid trading or positioning aggressively then.
Missing Q exposes you to Annie's burst all-in; play cautiously if Q is on cooldown.
If Annie is forced to push with W and low on mana, she is vulnerable to your all-ins.

Early game

Use E to poke Annie and force her to use mana, exploiting her weak waveclear.
Maintain max range to avoid Annie's Q+W burst and passive stun trades.
Shield yourself with W when Annie attempts to engage with her passive stun stacks.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Lux level 6 R and first completed mage item increase burst and kill pressure.
Respect Annie's level 6 R for pick potential and her first AP item spike for increased burst.
Use your power spikes to zone Annie and deny her farm and pick attempts.

Win conditions

Win lane by landing Q roots to chain burst damage and zone Annie from farm.
Deny Annie's passive stacks and force her out of lane to limit her pick potential.
Use your superior poke and range to control wave and pressure Annie into unfavorable trades.

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