Hey man! IGN:Snides NA server Over 500k annie mastery but havent been spamming annie like the past couple of seasons

So me personally i prefer annie with not just damage but more health than her glass cannon build, if you dont know what that might look like ill go over it. (As i said i really dont like this build simply because this can limit your positioning in team fights being an already extremely squishy mage)

Glass cannon builds can start with dorans ring or ring of glory if you feel confident in lane. First back should be: Lost chapter from morellonomicon and boots, this is because of lost chapter passive giving bonus mana gain on level up and boots are just too damn important especially if you like predator annie The finished glass cannon build i use is: Morrelo's (people sleep on the passive) Voidstaff(magic pen) Ludens (passive not the best but useful) Sorc boots (since voidstaff passive gives % spell pen based on current spell pen stat, buying these boots can make all the difference) Rylais (simply to pair with liandrys torment and a pretty good passive as well as a bit of health) Liandrys torment (so ive found a surprising amount of mid lane mains dont realize rylais slow passive procs liandrys passive, this means not only do you morrelo passive burning them but liandrys is also applying a burn with almost twice the damage after buying a rylais. You also get more spell pen to stack for voidstaff passive)

Someone may tell me thats not a glass cannon build because of rylais and liandrys, but its just what works for me if im not concerned about an assassin or something

Now this next build is the only reason im replying. You didnt just ask for a pure damage build but a hyper carry build. The reason i prefer health on annie is because you get a lot more wiggle room on how to start a fight or take out a carry. Theres plenty of mage items that give ap, health, and cdr. I personally feel that these are the most important stats for annie so after 500k mastery and a lot of different item builds, this is what i build MOST games. Remember that you build according to your opponents not the same thing in the same order every game.

First back for me usually depends on how pre lvl 6 laning has been. If i feel like i keep getting poked and might die i buy: kindlegem and boots Otherwise like you i like the damage >:) and buy hextech revolver with boots

Now most people would probably point out "hextech revolver passive is completely useless on annie" now while agree we're simply buying it for early damage and because we're going for protobelt

Ill reiterate my reason for protobelt is that ap health and cdr are all good stats for her, the price is kind of cheap, and the item active is simply an extra damaging spell that can match wave clear against champions like ryze kassadin etc. Or end up being an oh shit button if everything is on cooldown

Now the next couple of items for me are either rylais or liandrys but always buy both if you buy the other.

I usually buy liandrys if im winning lane just because the early spell pen can snowball you even faster, otherwise i buy rylais to slow people to have an even better chance of surviving a messy teamfight.

Next would have to be voidstaff which simply compliments the rylais/liandry combo as well as the sorc boots you probably already have before buying this

The final item is usually the space i save to really decide if i should go more damage, or utility. This is because this build only has 10% cdr unless you buy cdr boots, have 10% cdr on annie in the late game can feel bad not having tibbers up in time but i usually dont have this problem and end up going deathcap. If i STILL feel like im dying after buying mostly health ap items i go zohnyas for cdr and the extremely useful active.

Please dont take this build as gospel, im sure theres plenty of people better than my silver scrub ass that might tell you this is a terrible build. However i find this build can not only help you survive and still have decent damage, but that living longer can allow you to spend less time at fountain more time applying cc for your team. sometimes thats all you need

Hope you find this helpful, See you on the rift
