Aurora vs Annie

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use mobility and burst to pick off Annie when her stun passive or (R) is down.
Avoid extended trades to prevent Annie from proccing her passive stun reliably.
Maintain medium pressure to deny Annie easy picks and force her into vulnerable mana states.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q), follow with (E) for reposition and damage, then reactivate (Q).
Punish Annie after she uses (W) to push or when her passive stun is on cooldown.
Avoid trading immediately after (W) as you lose your quick escape and become vulnerable.

Danger windows

Beware Annie's 4 passive stacks ready to stun and burst you in extended trades.
After using (W), avoid extended trades since you lack a quick escape.
Respect (R) engage or follow-up threat by maintaining safe positioning pre-6 and post-6.

Early game

Use (W) invisibility to dodge (Q)+(W) poke and reposition for burst trades.
Avoid using (E) unless sure it will hit due to its long animation and easy dodge.
Keep wave state balanced to prevent overextension and avoid Annie's all-in with (R).

Power spikes

Respect Annie's level 6 (R) for strong pick potential and burst damage.
Use your level 6 (R) and first AP burst item spikes to increase kill pressure and mobility.
After your first AP item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Annie's cooldowns.

Win conditions

Track Annie's passive and (R) cooldowns to find safe all-in windows with your burst.
Force Annie to use (W) to push waves, then punish her vulnerability and mana burn.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Annie from safely scaling or roaming effectively.

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