Guide to Building Annie in League of Legends: Wild Rift

I - Itemization for Annie in League of Legends: Wild Rift

1. Rod of Ages - Catalyst of Aeons
The first item you should prioritize for Annie is the Rod of Ages. Aside from granting Annie an additional 60 ability power and 300 mana, this item also provides 250 HP, enhancing her durability. Regarding its passive effects, ROA can restore mana equal to 15% of the damage taken from enemy champions. Additionally, it has a unique passive that can restore HP based on 20% of mana spent (up to 20 HP per cast).

2. Ionian Boots of Lucidity - Boots of Enlightenment
For boots, you can opt for Ionian Boots of Lucidity to reduce ability cooldowns by 10%. This is extremely useful for a Mage like Annie.

3. Infinity Orb - Orb of Infinity
The next item is Infinity Orb. It grants Annie an additional 60 AP and 200 HP. As for its passive, Orb of Infinity increases Annie's movement speed by 5% and grants her 15 magic resistance. Another passive allows her to deal an additional 20% critical damage to enemies below 35% HP.

4. Rabadon's Deathcap - Rabadon's Hat
To make enemies tremble in fear, you can acquire a large amount of AP from an item called Rabadon's Deathcap. Although it's quite expensive, it's worth buying as you'll gain an additional 130 AP, along with a passive that grants 40% AP based on your current AP. Even tanks with high resistances will struggle to withstand your massive AP damage from Rabadon's Deathcap.

5. Morellonomicon - Morellonomicon
Morellonomicon grants Annie an extra 70 AP and 300 HP, making you more resilient and harder to kill. Morellonomicon is also useful for countering enemy champions reliant on lifesteal during team fights with the Grievous Wounds effect - reducing the amount of HP enemies receive while healing and lifestealing.

6. Void Staff - Staff of the Void
Next up is the Void Staff. This is a must-have item in the late game because enemy champions will likely have magic resistance items, making it difficult for you to deal magic damage. Speaking of the power of the Void Staff, this item grants you an additional 70 AP and 40% magic penetration.

7. Upgrade Ionian Boots of Lucidity to Stasis Enchant
Like all Mages in the game, Annie is prone to being targeted by assassins like Master Yi and Zed. Therefore, you can upgrade Ionian Boots of Lucidity to Stasis Enchant. This effect grants you immunity to damage for 2.5 seconds, making you invulnerable during that time.

II - Runes for Annie in League of Legends: Wild Rift

1. Super Rune - Electrocute
As a Mage, Annie certainly needs massive damage to quickly finish off enemies, so you can use Electrocute as the Keystone rune. When you attack enemies 3 times (basic attacks and abilities), they will be shocked, dealing 30-184 damage (based on level); (plus 40% bonus attack damage); (plus 25% AP).

2. Domination Rune - Brutal
For the Domination rune, you can use Brutal. The effect of this support rune grants Annie 14 AP and 2% magic penetration. By using Brutal, you will withstand better when facing the frontline champions of the enemy team, those who are trying to breakthrough like Tank champions.

3. Regeneration Rune - Regeneration
For the next rune, you can choose Regeneration to help Annie sustain better in lane. Because the passive effect of this support rune will restore 2% of Annie's HP or mana every 3 seconds (based on the lower stat).

4. Inspiration Rune - Manaflow Band
For the final support rune, Manaflow Band is the ideal choice because it grants Annie an additional 30 maximum mana (up to 300 mana) when she successfully attacks an enemy champion with an ability or empowered attack.

III - Summoner Spells for Annie in League of Legends: Wild Rift

1. Ignite
The Ignite summoner spell is extremely beneficial for Annie in dealing with enemies. You can use Ignite when the enemy's HP is critically low because it can burn the target for 60-410 true damage (based on level) over 5 seconds, preventing the enemy from escaping team fights.

2. Flash
Flash is a versatile summoner spell suitable for every champion. Anyone can use it to chase down enemies or escape from them, but the cooldown of Flash is quite long at 150 seconds.
