Prioritize Skill 1, your main damage tool that also helps with last-hitting, then level Skill 2 for its area damage.
Secure last hits with Skill 1 and use the mana refund to stay in lane. Stack management is Annie's lifeline. Keep your passive stun charged to apply pressure, and punish with poke when the enemy steps out of position.
A surprise engage with Flash or Protobelt into Tibbers is a major threat to the enemy. Sync with your jungler or wait in an unwarded bush, and delete any target that walks too close with one combo.
Late-game Annie has the burst to remove an enemy ADC or mage in an instant. You are squishy too, so never walk in from the front. Play like an assassin and target the enemy carries from blind spots.
The outcome of a teamfight depends on how you use Ult. Hold your stun and land Tibbers on several enemies to decide the fight. After the engage, shield yourself and Tibbers with Skill 3 while dealing steady damage with low-cooldown Skill 1 and Skill 2.
Do not hold your stun so long that you miss CS. Pressure matters, but losing minion gold defeats the purpose. Engaging without your stun ready also just makes you a target. Once you unlock Tibbers at Level 5, combine it with Flash for a combo that finishes the enemy carry.
Land a stunning Ult on the group, then pile on damage with Tibbers.
