Taliyah vs Annie

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Control mid wave with Q to limit Annie's safe farming and force her into risky trades.
Maintain medium lane pressure to deny Annie easy access to R picks and punish her limited range.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q and save W and E for when Annie commits to stun or R engage.
Punish Annie if she uses Annie R or passive stun on minions by shoving and zoning her.
Avoid trading when W and E are down to reduce risk from Annie's burst combo.

Danger windows

Annie's passive stun and R Tibbers combo create lethal burst windows; respect these cooldowns.
When W and E are on cooldown, avoid extended trades to reduce vulnerability.
Be cautious if Annie pushes with W and has mana advantage, as she can threaten all-ins.

Early game

Use Q poke early to chip Annie's health and force her to use mana on W for waveclear.
Hold W and E to punish Annie's forward movement or attempts to proc her passive stun.
Avoid extended trades before level 3 when W and E are not fully available for punishing.

Power spikes

Level 6 R grants Taliyah strong roam and map control to pressure Annie's side lanes.
First completed mage item enhances Q poke, improving wave control and poke reliability.
Respect Annie's level 6 R spike as it enables her burst and pick potential.

Win conditions

Deny Annie safe farming by controlling wave and punishing her limited range with Q poke.
Use W and E to punish Annie's attempts to engage or proc her stun.
Push wave safely then use R to roam and create map pressure, leveraging Taliyah's mobility advantage.

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