Ultra Rare · Warlock Carry
Annie
Back-row Energy burner who snipes the enemy's top attackers
“Punish your foes with a spark of whimsical ingenuity!”
At a glance
Annie is a Warlock damage dealer. Her Ultimate Skill throws two candy jars at the two highest-ATK enemies and sets them on fire, and her Active Skill burns everything in range. She is the most-used Carry in the top squads at Sanctuary 6 and Sanctuary 20.
- Very high ATK growth (×1.52, second only to Zoya), but low HP (×0.57) — keep her in the back row behind two tanks.
- All Energy damage, and her Passive Skill adds more Energy DMG.
- Candy Jar targets the enemies with the highest ATK, so it hits their carries, not their tanks.

What to level, what to park
Level, in this order
- Candy Jar Ultimate Skill
- Surprise Gift Active Skill
- Charged Gummies Passive Skill
- Candy Auto Attack
Annie's Ultimate Skill is Candy Jar. Level it first. Next is Surprise Gift, because it sets everything in range on fire every 4.5 s. Charged Gummies follows, and her Auto Attack goes last.
Tenacity can't be levelled: it unlocks at its star requirement and stays fixed.
Skill check
How much the squad loses if this one skill is left at level 1: win-rate points against strong squads, with the hero's lost damage in brackets. Each column is every hero built the way they usually are at that Sanctuary level. It only counts fights against other squads, so it's one part of the order above, not the whole story. The biggest in each column is in bold.
| Skill | Sanctuary 6 max Lv 2 | Sanctuary 20 max Lv 8 | Sanctuary 30 max Lv 30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candy | +1.0 (1% dmg) | +2.2 (4% dmg) | +4.3 (11% dmg) |

Research that helps
Energy DMG Mastery in her squad's tree, plus the Warlock ATK and DMG techs in the Hero tree.
- Hero tree, Warlock techs (Lab 5-21): ATK +15%, DMG +15% first, then HP +15%, DEF +15%. The cheapest big boost for this hero.
- Squad tree for the squad this hero fights in (Lab 9-13): ATK, DEF and HP +5% each, plus Energy DMG +5%.
- Hero tree, all-hero techs (Lab 23-24): ATK, DEF, HP and DMG +10% each for every hero.
- Offensive or Defensive Tactics (Lab 20-25): +30% ATK, DEF and HP in PvP. Offensive if you attack, Defensive if you mostly guard your city.
- Warlock Mastery (Lab 30, late game): Warlock ATK, HP and DEF +15% each, DMG +10%, and Synergy techs that grow with every Warlock hero you field.
Skip the monster-only techs (Blight Slayer, Boost RES) unless this squad hunts monsters.
