- Biography
- Story
| Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable, emotional outbursts, though she eventually learned to control these “playful tricks.” Her favorite includes the summoning of her beloved teddy bear, Tibbers, as a fiery protector. Lost in the perpetual innocence of childhood, Annie wanders the dark forests, always looking for someone to play with.
Boram Darkwill’s last years on the throne were a time of great uncertainty for Noxus, and many with an aptitude for magic left the capital for the relative peace of more distant provinces. Gregori the Gray and his wife, a witch by the name of Amoline, preferred to demonstrate their Noxian strength by taming the borderlands, rather than partaking in the political intrigue of the noble houses. The young couple claimed a piece of land beyond the Ironspike Mountains to the north, finishing their small home just before winter and the arrival of their first child. During their journey, other colonists’ tales of the great shadow bears that once roamed the territory had captivated Amoline—now heavily pregnant, she passed the time sitting near the fireplace, creating a toy version of the protective creatures. Just as she finished sewing the last button eye on the stuffed bear, the quickening of labor overcame her. Gregori remarked later that his daughter was eager to play with her new toy, for there, on an ember-warmed hearth, Amoline brought Annie into the world. When Annie was still a toddler, she and her father took ill. As night fell, Annie began to burn with fever, and soon she was so hot, she could no longer be held in her mother’s arms. Amoline grew desperate, deciding at last to fetch icy water from the nearby river. The next morning Gregori awoke, weak and groggy from his sickness. In the crib, a now-healthy Annie played with her stuffed bear, Tibbers, but Amoline was gone. Naïvely, Annie believed her mother would one day return. Gregori would often find the girl sitting in her mother’s rocking chair near the hearth, hugging Tibbers and staring into a crackling fire, where he was sure there had been nothing but cold ashes. He chalked up these slips of the mind to the burden of parenting a child alone. Years passed, bringing more colonists to the region. And in time, Gregori met Leanna, a woman seeking a new life outside the capital with her own young daughter, Daisy. Annie was eager for a playmate, but spoiled by the indulgences of being an only child, so acclimation to her new stepfamily was difficult. Whenever Annie’s fiery temper erupted, it left Leanna uneasy, and quick to take her own daughter’s side. It fell to Gregori to keep an uneasy peace between the three. Unused to the dangers of the untamed borderlands, Daisy’s playing ended in catastrophe for the family. Leanna, of course, blamed Annie for the loss of her daughter, focusing her rage and grief on her stepdaughter’s most prized possession: Tibbers. Annie was horrified as the last physical memory of her mother was threatened. The girl’s terror grew to an unbridled rage, releasing her latent and powerful pyromancy, and the stuffed bear was brought to life in a maelstrom of protective fire. When the flames died down and the swirl of ash settled, Annie was left orphaned and alone. Believing most city adults to be like her stepmother, Annie has kept to the wilder parts of her frontier homeland. On occasion, she will use her disarmingly adorable exterior to be taken in by some pioneer family long enough to be offered new clothes and a hot meal. However, fire and death awaits anyone foolish enough to try parting Annie from the stuffed bear at her side. Kept safe by Tibbers, she wanders the dark forests of Noxus, oblivious to danger—and the dangers posed to others by her own unchecked power—hoping, one day, to find someone like her to play with. | |

TROUBLE
 If there was one thing Marcin knew how to do, it was to keep his head down. Before him, rowdy voices intermingled with the clatter of tankards and the sloshing of beer. Every once in a while, someone barked a drink order, and just as soon as their coin landed on the bar, a drink slid in front of their waiting hands. His quick and silent service kept him unnoticed—and as such, uninvolved in any trouble. And there was always trouble. It took on many forms. A belligerent brawler, itching for a fight. A transaction among cloaked figures that ended with a dagger through a throat. Or, perhaps most unexpectedly, a little girl, pushing through the heavy tavern door. Marcin watched the girl hum and skip her way toward the bar. Behind her, the door slammed shut, one last swirl of winter air blasting across the room, the loud bang grabbing the last few eyes that weren’t already following her, baffled by her presence. The girl clambered up a stool, barely peeking over the edge of the bar. Marcin took in the child’s bright red hair, the tattered toy clutched in her grip, the frayed satchel on her back, and the ragged, unseasonably short-sleeved, dress. “What can I get for you?” he asked. The girl stood on the stool and plopped her toy on the counter, peering at the many bottles on shelves. Marcin could see it was a stuffed bear, once well crafted, since well loved. The stitching at its limbs were visible after many years of stress. Somewhere in its life it had lost one of its button eyes. “Could I get a glass of milk, please?” Marcin raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He walked toward the far end of the bar to fetch the ceramic jug. “Awfully late for you to be out by yourself, ain’t it?” a deep voice rumbled. Marcin sighed. Trouble always attracted more trouble. He pulled the jug down from the shelf and gazed back down the bar. A large man next to the girl had turned to peer down at her with his one good eye. Seated in front of him, the girl looked like a pebble at the foot of a mountain. He was a pile of muscles criss-crossed with scars. The loops of ropes, chains, and hooks at his belt, along with the massive blade slung across his back, loudly announced him as a bounty hunter. The girl looked up at him and flashed a smile. “I’m not alone. Tibbers is here with me. Aren’t you, Tibbers?” She held up the bear, beaming. The bounty hunter laughed out loud. “Surely your parents must be missing you.” The girl’s hands dropped to her side as her eyes drifted down and away. “I don’t think so,” she replied. “Aw, but I do think so. Would pay a pretty penny to see you home safe, I imagine.” Marcin could practically hear the coins clinking in the bounty hunter’s mind, the man already tallying up the prize for her safe return. “They can’t. They’re dead.” The girl plopped back down on the stool, staring into the button eye of her bear. The bounty hunter started to speak again just as Marcin placed the mug down on the counter with a percussive thud. “Your milk,” he said. The girl turned and beamed at him, breaking from her sullen mood. “Thank you, sir!” She set her bear on the table and reached back into her knapsack. Marcin waited, prepared to accept any coin she put down as payment enough. He did not expect the massive purse that landed with a clatter. A few golden coins bounced onto the counter, one rolling toward the edge. Marcin stopped it on reflex, one finger pinning the escapee. Slowly, he lifted it from the bar, its heft and texture proclaiming it as authentic Noxian mint. “Oopsie!” the little girl giggled. Marcin swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. He reached over, hoping to shove the coin and the purse back into the girl’s satchel before anyone else noticed— “That’s a mighty big purse for a mighty small girl,” the bounty hunter growled, far too loudly. “Tibbers found it,” the girl replied. The bounty hunter snorted. “Is that so?” “It was on the man who stopped me in the road. He was a real meanie.” The girl took a sip of her milk, her attention back on her bear. “That’s too bad…” The bounty hunter leaned in closer on his stool, hand sliding towards the purse. The girl looked up at him, a playful smile dancing across her face. “Tibbers ate him.” For a moment, everything stood still. Then the bounty hunter’s laugh cut across the room. “I’m sure he did,” he roared. He thrust a meaty hand forward, grasping the toy by the head and yanking it away from the girl. “This big ol’ scary monster.” “Let Tibbers go!” the girl cried out, reaching up for the bear. “He doesn’t like being pulled.” The bounty hunter just laughed harder. Marcin pocketed the coin in his hand and turned away, walking unnoticed toward the back. He wished he could help, but he hadn’t survived this long by sticking around longer than he should. Her voice stopped him cold. “I said. Let. Tibbers. Go.” The words rumbled with gravel and rage, cutting through the din. Against all his better judgement, Marcin paused and looked back. The girl stood on the bar, staring at the bounty hunter, fury smoldering in her eyes. Then chaos erupted. A flare of light and a burst of heat erupted from the girl. Too late, Marcin threw his arms up, crying out in pain. He stumbled back, knocking into the shelves behind him. Several bottles crashed around him as he ducked beneath the bar, cursing his idiotic hesitation. The screams of men and the sound of breaking wood punctuated a growing roar of flame. A guttural, impossible sound reverberated through the air, rattling his bones. Marcin crawled, still half-blinded, toward where he hoped the doors to the kitchens were. Around him, the screams heightened—then stopped with a stomach-turning crack. For the second time that day, Marcin forgot all his honed skills of avoiding trouble and peered over the edge of the bar. A hulking beast loomed, silhouetted against the firelight. Thick strands of sinew bound its limbs to its torso like stitching. With a start, Marcin realized the beast itself burned, unharmed by the hungry tongues of flame that danced across its fur. In its claws it held aloft, by the head, the slumped, bloody form of the bounty hunter, a limp rag doll in the massive paws of the monster. Before it, the little girl stood wreathed in fire. “You’re right, Tibbers,” she said. “He didn’t like being pulled either.” Marcin looked around the room in horror. Throughout his tavern, overturned chairs and tables ignited, raising a thick, black smoke. The smell of blood and burning flesh crawled inside his nose, and Marcin choked back a cough, his stomach turning. The beast turned and looked at him. A whimper escaped Marcin’s lips. He gazed into the glowing abyss of the bear’s eyes, and swallowed in the certainty of his end. A peal of laughter rang out over the crackle of flames. “Don’t worry,” the little girl said, peering around the monstrosity. “Tibbers likes you.” Marcin watched, frozen, as the girl hopped, skipped, jumped her way through the burning tavern, the beast lumbering behind her. He stared as it smashed the heavy door off its hinges. He gaped as the little girl turned back one last time, a sweet smile back on her face. “Thanks for the milk, sir.” And then, the girl walked out into the snowy night as the tavern collapsed behind her |

Pyromania; and when Annie dies.
Patch History[]
'Base attack speed, ratio, and missile speed increased.'
- Base Attack Speed: 0.579 ⇒ 0.61
- Attack Speed Ratio: 0.579 ⇒ 0.625
- Basic Attack Missile Speed: 1200 ⇒ 1500
Patch 13.15
Tibbers durability decreased.
R - Summon: Tibbers
- Armor and Magic Resistance: 30/60/90 (+5% AP) ⇒ 30-90 (levels 6-18)
- Health: 1300/2200/3100 (+75% AP) ⇒ 1150-3500 (+50% AP) (levels 6-18, nonlinear scaling) (Note: this is approximately a 5-10% durability decrease)
Patch 13.13
Q magic damage decreased.
Annie is currently one of the most popular champions in Pro play and she’s skipping along just fine in solo queue. This is due to how consistent of a pick she is because of her solid early game and strong scaling. Our goal with nerfing her Q is to tone down some of her guaranteed damage and make getting to late game just a tad more difficult.
Q - Disintegrate
- Magic Damage: 80/115/150/185/220 (+80% AP) ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 (+75% AP)
Patch 13.7
E cooldown increased, shield value decreased.
Annie has been burning her enemies in the bot lane with her updated Molten Shield. Maxing shield as a support makes sense for its defensive capabilities, but it also gives Annie a considerable amount of reflection damage and a cheap way to quickly build up her stun. We still like the idea of Annie helping out her allies, but we're bringing the choice between supportive and carry outputs a bit closer.
E - Molten Shield
- Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds
- Shield Amount: 60/100/140/180/220 (+40% AP) ⇒ 60/95/130/165/200 (+40% AP)
Patch 13.4
Base health decreased. E damage decreased. R cooldown increased.
Annie and Tibbers have made a big impact on the rift following their most recent gameplay updates. While we believe Annie deserves to be effective, she is overperforming relative to her peers in both Mid and Support, and could do with a little less power. We are aiming to bring down her base health pool to give opponents early counter-play, reduce her ambient damage from her shield, and limit the summon frequency of Tibbers now that he's more of a threat on the Rift.
Base Stats
- Base Health: 594 ⇒ 560
E - Molten Shield- Shield Retaliation Magic Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 25/35/45/55/65 (+ 40% AP)
R - Summon: Tibbers - Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds ⇒ 130/115/100 seconds
Patch 13.3 - 2/14/2023
- Armor Growth: 5.2 ⇒ 4.7
- E - Mana Cost: 40 at all ranks ⇒ 60/65/70/75/80 mana
- E - Shield AP Ratio: 55% AP ⇒ 40% AP
Patch 13.3
Passive is now fully charged on spawn. E shield strength increased, cooldown decreased, retaliation damage and conditions adjusted. R Tibbers health, armor, magic resist, and movement speed increased.
Annie’s been struggling to pick up wins, even when she’s matched against opponents that she should have the advantage against. We’re giving one of League’s oldest champs some much-needed quality of life buffs to her Molten Shield and Pyromania passive, and bumping up Tibbers’ durability for late game fights. The intent is to buff Annie in ways that aren’t just her upfront burst damage, but we’ll be keeping an eye out to make sure these changes bring her power to bear.
Passive - Pyromania
- First Flame: Annie will now spawn with her passive fully charged on game start and when she respawns
E - Molten Shield- Shield Strength: 40/85/130/175/220 (+35% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+55% AP)
- Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
- Retaliation Magic Damage: 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% AP) ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90 (+40% AP)
- NEW Retaliation Magic Damage Conditions: When Molten Shield is active, enemies whosebasic attacks hit the shield receive magic damage ⇒ When Molten Shield is active, enemies whose basic attacks AND spells hit the shield receive magic damage
- NEW Retaliation Magic Damage Details: E - Molten Shield will now only inflict damage against opponents once per target, per shield. (Note: Tibbers’ duplicated shield counts as a new shield and can inflict damage once per target, per shield.)
R - Summon: Tibbers - Tibbers’ Health: 1300/2200/3100 ⇒ 1300/2200/3100 (+75% AP)
- Tibbers’ Resistances: 30/60/90 Armor and MR ⇒ 30/60/90 (+5% AP) Armor and MR
- Tibbers’ Movespeed: 350 at all ranks ⇒ 350/375/400
Patch 12.12
Q AP ratio increased. Tibbers base health, armor, and MR increased.
Annie's burst builds have fallen off since the Durability Update, especially at higher levels of play. We're making her combos a little more fire and giving Tibbers his own CDU (Cuddly Durability Update).
Q - Disintegrate
R - Summon: Tibbers
Patch 11.15
Q damage ratio decreased.
The small pyromaniac and her bear are taking over Skilled play! Annie does well versus short-range characters, which are her more common match-ups, so we’re lowering her upfront burst damage and lane harass.
Q - Disintegrate
Patch 11.8
W cost increased early.
Lately, Annie’s been blazing down her foes. By increasing the cost on her W, she’ll have to be more careful when deciding whether to burn up minions or enemy champions.
W - Incinerate
Patch 11.1
Champion Base Stat Cleanup
We've cleaned up some champions' base stats over the years and are rounding out the remaining 99 champions.
Patch 10.25
E bonus movement speed decreased.
Annie has seen strong success with her pick-and-burst potential. As the new season also brought a trove of Annie-friendly toys, we're toning back some of the movement that helped her run it down.
E - Molten Shield
E - Molten Shield
Patch 10.22
E now provides a shield instead of damage reduction; shield can now be cast on target ally champions; shield animation updated; cost and range increased; shield always applies to Tibbers when he's summoned
We’re giving Annie more ways to use her shield while keeping it a simple and intuitive defense when Annie just wants to play on her own.
E - Molten Shield
| SHIELD | [Grants Annie 13/17/21/25/29% damage reduction for 3 seconds] | |
| ⇒ | Grants any target ally champion a 40/90/140/190/240 (+0.4 AP) shield for 3 seconds (bonus movement speed buff is applied to the shielded target) |
Passive - Pyromania
Patch 10.10
E damage reduction increased; Tibbers Burning Aura buffed
We’re hop, skip, jumping to give Tibbers a buff to encourage Annie to bring him out to play more often. We’re also bringing up Molten Shield's damage reduction, which was left in a weak state after her mini-update in 9.18.
E - Molten Shield
| DAMAGE REDUCTION : | [10/13/16/19/22%] | |
| ⇒ | 13/17/21/25/29% |
R - Summon: Tibbers
| TIBBERS AURA DAMAGE : | [10/15/20 (+0.1 AP)] | |
| ⇒ | 20/30/40 (+0.12 AP) |
Patch 9.19
E movement speed increased; cooldown now scales.
Following up on the 9.18 changes since we ended up going with a more conservative approach than necessary.
E - Molten Shield
| MOVEMENT SPEED : | [25-50.5%] | |
| ⇒ | 30-60% |
Patch 9.18
E now grants decaying movement speed; damage reduction decreased; cooldown increased.
Giving Annie more pep in her step in lane with an additional benefit on her E so she can make more plays when on her own.
E - Molten Shield
| DAMAGE REDUCTION : | [16/22/28/34/40%] | |
| ⇒ | 10/13/16/19/22% |
v8.17
Attack range increased.
Right now, Annie doesn't really have gameplay outside of dumping all of her spells at once. Returning to her longer attack range lets her trade and harass with autos as an alternate pattern of aggression.
25 mages have more mana regen and base mana, but less mana growth. 5 other mages have more mana regen.
We’re increasing mana regen on the champions most affected by the changes to Doran's Ring and Last Chapter. Mages are also getting some changes to their mana pools and their mana growth. Overall, they’ll be up a bit of starting mana and mana regen, but be substantially down on mana per level.

With Aegis of the Legion's old aura out of the game, squishy champions who were relying on it to give them enough magic resist find themselves a bit on the burstable side.
v6.17
Tibbers’ enrage wears off faster after Annie dies.
One of our goals for Annie’s mid-season update was to let Tibbers realize the fantasy of infernal guardian. Enraging on Annie’s death is one of the approaches we took, the idea being that giant frothing hellbears are terrifying and you should run away from them. For that to work, however, players should feel like they stand a fair chance of outrunning Tibbers, so we’re toning his enrage down.
R - Summon: Tibbers
v6.14
Tibbers is a less dumb bear. Still growls, though.
Just a few more improvements to Tibbers following Annie’s midseason update. With a smarter bear, the sky’s the limit for Annie players everywhere.
R - Summon: Tibbers
v6.9
Bears.
Annie's simplicity as one of League’s original 40 belies a surprising amount of depth, but there arfew areas where her gameplay simply needs to be brought up to modern standards. The first is the lack of clarity around her stun. A skilled Annie learns to bypass Pyromania's indicator by sitting on three stacks, then burning Molten Shield to proc Pyromania as she throws out a near-instant stun. While this lends some degree of mastery to Annie's kit, it means a significant chunk of her has been tied to outplaying the UI. Pyromania is now tracked on a resource bar and we’re moving that elsewhere -- more on that later.
The other half of Pyromania’s problem is actually Molten Shield, whose outdated design doesn’t offer enough for Annie to value it as anything other than a cheap Pyromania stack. Molten Shield is being modernized to a shorter, situationally powerful tool with clearer anti-burst uses against the likes of Zed ult, giving Annie a reason to feel good about it.
Returning to the question of how we’re compensating Annie for losing her invisible stun, that is being reallocated to Tibbers, the most unrealized aspect of Annie's fantasy as pyro girl with giant bear guardian. For being such an integral part of Annie’s character, Tibbers serves little purpose outside of a safer AoE spell than Incinerate foflash-stun combo. We're putting some fury into Tibbers’ bear swipes and smartening up his AI to make him a persistent threat until killed, befitting his status as the infernal familiar Annie's always deserved.
Passive - Pyromania
W - Incinerate
E - Molten Shield
R - Summon: Tibbers
v5.9
Annie's basic attack range is shorter.
- "For a bear-toting powder keg of midlane murder, Annie's ranges have always made it difficult to interact. Though her attack range is still above average, keeping it in-line with her spells helps opponents skirt the dangerous line between 'On-Fire' and 'about to be'."
- General
- ATTACK RANGE :
625⇒ 575
- ATTACK RANGE :
v5.6
Tibbers aura damage scales with rank.
- "For a long time we've been pushing Annie into being League's Premier "bear-mage" (that's a thing), be it by lowering Tibbers' cooldown, giving him better defenses, or sharing Molten Shield. With plays beginning to fully respect Tibbers as an entity (he has feelings too, you know), we're pulling back on some of the free damage you get just for being within hugging distance. "
R - Summon:Tibbers
TIBBERS AURA BASE DAMAGE : 35 magic damage ⇒ 20/30/40 magic damage
v5.2
TIBBERS GETS MOLTEN SHIELD WHEN ANNIE DOES AND RUNS SUPER FAST.
- "Though Annie is definitely less powerful in a world without Deathfire Grasp, she's still one of the strongest burst-initiators in the game and can still one-shot squishies even with different items. Still, we wanted to give some love to the cutest pyromaniac in League (sorry Brand) and Molten Shield felt like the right place (as it's also her least-interesting ability). Ultimately these changes help push Annie closer to her unique identity as a teddy bear-centric mage (that's a thing)."
- E - Molten Shield
- ARMOR / MAGIC RESISTANCE BONUS :
20/30/40/50/60⇒ 10/20/30/40/50
- ARMOR / MAGIC RESISTANCE BONUS :
- R - Summon: Tibbers
- [NEW] DON'T RUN FROM BEARS : When Annie casts Molten Shield, Tibbers gains +300 bonus movement speed, decaying over 0.75 seconds
- [NEW] MOLTEN TIBBERS : Tibbers now also receives the benefits of Molten Shield when Annie casts it while he's up
- DIET TIBBERS : Tibbers' collision radius has been reduced to let him move past minions easier
v4.4
We like Annie's versatility, but some of her base damage is too high for how she's currently being used. Our goal is to introduce more interesting choices in Annie's kit (particularly on that Disintegrate buff) as we looked for ways to buff her late game scaling when she builds more traditional AP items.
We've reduced Disintegrate's cooldown by half on any kill (champion or minion). We've also fiddled with Incinerate and Tibbers so they do less base damage but scale better with AP.
Q - Disintegrate

v4.1
Summary: Pyromania’s stun duration is now shorter at earlier levels but Summon: Tibbers’ cooldown has been reduced at later levels to compensate.
Annie’s a terrifying kid to play against in the early phases of the game – even before Tibbers joins the party– mostly due to her long duration stun at level 1. With these changes, we want to give Annie’s lane opponents some more room to breathe against her early threat, but we’ve given Tibbers more late game playtime to compensate. This should lessen a bit of Annie’s power without incinerating her overall strengths.

- Stun duration now scales 1.25/1.5/1.75 seconds at levels 1/6/11 (from 1.75 seconds at all levels)
