Annie: repeatable Warning Shots and spell damage

Annie · from r/LegendsOfRuneterra · 2026-10-14

Generate Warning Shots on summon, boost their damage, and keep another Annie available for the next deployment.

Build

Needs 3★Champion level 30

Overview

For repeatable burn, players run Dreadway Chase Gun, Luden's Tempest and The Grand General's Counterplan on Annie. This replaces the shared roster's entry-ping loadout. Annie's three-star spell-and-Skill bonus strengthens both the generated shots and her attack Skill; the recurring champion copy supports later deployments.

The build

Dreadway Chase Gun

On summon, create two Warning Shot in hand. These free spells supply Nexus damage when Annie arrives, including on eligible copied or revived summons. Leave hand space for them.

Luden's Tempest

Your spells and Skill deal one extra damage while the equipped champion is on board. It increases the shots and Annie's attack Skill, but losing Annie also loses this bonus until she returns.

The Grand General's Counterplan

Round Start creates a Fleeting champion copy. While Annie is alive it becomes her champion spell; if she dies before you spend it, the copy can supply the next champion deployment.

How to play

Play Annie with room for the generated Warning Shot copies. Use the free spells to damage the enemy Nexus, then choose attacks and removal according to the actual board. Disintegrate marks a dangerous enemy so the next damage can kill it, but the damage must occur: Tough or prevention can stop an otherwise small hit.

The recurring copy provides another removal spell while Annie survives. If a favorable block or another effect kills her, a champion copy can restore her and generate fresh shots. Do not sacrifice her merely because the build can replay her: losing a blocker or the damage bonus can leave the enemy's next attack lethal.

Compare the next batch of shots with the current Nexus health and modifiers. A Tough Nexus reduces each damage event, and an early enemy board may still demand removal before more burn.

Drafting and alternatives

A second Dreadway Chase Gun favors immediate extra shots; a second Luden's Tempest favors stronger spell and Skill damage. Players disagree on the best ratio, and extra summons can overfill your hand.

For slower control, use The Grand General's Counterplan with Archangel's Staff and a damage or combat slot. The recurring spell-mana refill makes the champion spell easier to cast each round. This is a different plan from trading the champion away for another shot batch. Older Guardian Angel revival sequences predate its current Deathless text, so no infinite revival is promised.

Star-power checkpoint

Pyromania II

Your spells and skills deal 2 extra damage.
