Annie Support is a versatile mage who excels in applying lane pressure through her stun capabilities, range, and protective shield. Her unique ability to summon Tibbers makes her a formidable support choice.

Skills Priority:

1. E (Molten Shield)
2. Q (Disintegrate)
3. W (Incinerate)
4. R (Summon: Tibbers)

Skill Order Explanation: As a support, Annie's Molten Shield (E) becomes her primary ability because it:

• Provides shields and movement speed to allies
• Deals damage when enemies attack shielded targets
• Helps proc support item gold generation

Start with E, then typically take Q at level 2 for reliable damage and stun stacking. After maxing E, both W and Q are viable max options:

• W (Incinerate) for AOE burst with Tibbers
• Q (Disintegrate) for more frequent single-target damage

Build Path:

Starting Items:

• Spellthief's Edge
• 2 Health Potions
• Stealth Ward

Core Items:

• Liandry's Anguish
• Imperial Mandate
• Demonic Embrace

Situational Items:

• Zhonya's Hourglass (vs AD threats)
• Void Staff (vs MR stacking)
• Rylai's Crystal Scepter (for extra control)
• Shadowflame (vs shields)

Support Annie focuses on utility items that also provide AP, prioritizing items that:

• Enhance team fighting capability
• Provide useful active effects
• Offer defensive stats when needed
• Help control enemy champions

Gameplay Tips:

• Use E to help secure support item procs
• Save stun for key moments or engage opportunities
• Position aggressively when stun is ready
• Coordinate Tibbers placement with team fights
• Focus on protecting carries while maintaining threat presence

Annie support differs from mid lane Annie by prioritizing team utility over pure damage, while still maintaining significant threat potential through her stun and burst combination.
