Annie is a Mage (magical damage). Owing to her abilities she can quickly terminate an enemy. Annie is able to keep opponents in one place long enough to gain advantage for her team. Her basic ability is Disintegrate (Q), which is a great help with farming. Finishing off a minion with Disintegrate restores the mana spent on the spell. Incinerate (W) is a fine area damage ability. In later game this really comes in handy with clearing a lane out of minions. Thanks to Molten Shield (E) Annie gains additional magic resistance and deflects some of enemy's basic attacks. Finally, she has a Summon Tibbers (R) ability. This is what makes Annie a real threat to her enemies. A properly used Tiber can devastate opponents. On the other hand, Tiber is very friendly and helpful to Annie's teammates. Gold should be spent on items, which add bonuses to magical damage, life, and mana, as well as those which lower cooldowns.
Strategy:
Initially, it is best to focus on farming using auto attack and Q. After you have used four abilities and charged up stun, you might want to scare your enemy and push him back to defensive position. If he comes any closer, you can punish for that him with Q->W combination.
