Vex vs Annie

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vex is a high-pressure anti-dash mage who must use her passive fear to control Annie's burst attempts.
Prioritize denying Annie calm scaling by applying lane pressure and punishing her mana reliance.

Trading pattern

Use passive fear to initiate trades and proc electrocute quickly.
Punish Annie after she wastes Annie R or passive stun by engaging with Q and E slow.
Respect Annie's Q+W burst combo when her passive stun is stacked; avoid trading when it is ready.

Danger windows

Annie is dangerous when her passive stun is fully stacked and Annie R is available.
Avoid all-ins when Vex's R is down since mobility and reset options vanish.
Punish Annie's low mana windows after forced wave pushes with W.

Early game

Use Q and passive fear to trade before Annie stacks her stun.
Force Annie to use W to push wave, draining her mana and creating all-in windows.
Avoid extended trades if fear is baited or on cooldown to prevent Annie's burst combo.

Power spikes

Vex's major spikes are level 6 R for engage and first completed AP burst item.
Annie's major spikes are level 6 Annie R for pick potential and first completed AP item for burst.
Respect Annie R and passive stun as lethal threat windows.

Win conditions

Win by using passive fear to control trades and proc electrocute efficiently.
Deny Annie farm and picks by pressuring her mana and wave control.
Use R resets to all-in after Annie expends key cooldowns or misses stun timing.

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