Honor of Kings Annette Guide: Gameplay Tips

Early Game

Proceed to the Farm Lane while using Annette. In the early game, Annette should focus on helping the mm to farm and safely pressure the enemy laner. Start with Skill 1 to slow enemies, poking them from afar while assisting to clear the minion waves. Since you’ve bought Roaming equipment, gold and exp will be shared with your laner as you constantly assist them.

To get the most out of Annette’s Passive, ensure you’re constantly moving and rotating across lanes, since the skill CD refresh also applies to your ultimate ability. Utilize Skill 2 by positioning the orb path in such a way that it will meet both allies and enemies. This will grant allies a shield while dishing damage to enemies.

Another helpful thing to note is that you can also use your second skill to reposition your first skill, pushing it farther into the enemy’s midst. Ensure to also prioritize vision control, assist your jungler during river fights, and rotate frequently to support teammates. Annette’s early-game value comes from utility and presence rather than damage.

Mid and Late Game

By mid-game, Annette becomes a powerful support during team fights. This is the stage where her rotations become extremely important, as she can quickly move between lanes thanks to her Passive. During teamfights, focus on protecting carries, disrupting enemy engages, and helping your team secure objectives through superior positioning and battlefield control.

Her Ultimate can completely shut down enemy dives by knocking opponents away and granting crowd control immunity to allies within its area. Use it carefully during major teamfights, especially when enemy assassins or fighters try to reach your backline. Do ensure to stay close to your carriers and avoid wandering too far from the team.

All in all, coordinate with your Jungler/MM/Clash Laner when contesting objectives like the Overlord or Tyrant, allowing you to follow-up and assist them effectively. The following skill combo will help out in the late-game phase of the game:

Skill 1 → Skill 2 → Ultimate → Skill 1

Final Thoughts

While she lacks the damage of more aggressive supports, Annette’s utility more than makes up for it. Her combination of movement speed buffs, shields, slows, and crowd control immunity makes her an excellent roamer for protecting carries and controlling teamfights.
