Best Annette Build, Arcana & Guide for 2026
Updated:
Annette
Support
Introduction to Annette
▼Annette is a super cute support hero in Arena of Valor. With her skill set full of wind and storms, this glasses-wearing girl will stir up a lot of trouble for the enemy marksman.
Besides Support, Annette can also play the Mid Lane. Gust Force creates a whirlwind at a target location that deals continuous magic damage and slows enemies at its center, while her second skill fires a wind orb that slows; if it passes through to a second target, it pulls both together and stuns them. Her ultimate, Hurricane Wall, knocks enemies back and raises a wall of wind that blocks their path while granting allies inside movement speed and attack speed.
High damage, plenty of crowd control and low difficulty make Annette very easy to play; the key is placing her wind wall in the right spot to split the enemy formation. This page provides Annette's item build, Arcana, Enchantments, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and how to play her in each phase.

How to Combo Annette
Basic Combo

3
Open with Skill 2
Diviner
shot through a minion or hero standing in front: if it hits two targets, both are gathered and stunned for 1 second; if it hits only one, that target is still slowed by 50%. Immediately place Skill 1
Gust Force
on that spot so the target stays in the whirlwind’s center for all the increasingly strong ticks. When the enemy dives in to counterattack, use Skill 3
Hurricane Wall
to fly in, launch them and raise the wind wall, while allies inside gain movement speed and attack speed to keep fighting. If your team needs an initiator, you can use Skill 3 first to split the enemy formation, then follow with Skill 2 and Skill 1.
How to Use Annette's Skills Effectively
- The passive gains a stack every time a nearby hero casts a skill, so
Annette
stacks up fastest in the middle of crowded fights.
- Once fully stacked, if you or a nearby ally drops below 70% HP, all stacks convert into healing for every nearby ally, so always stay close to your team.
- Move with your whole team when contesting Dragon or Caesar instead of wandering alone: it keeps
Annette
safe and lets the passive’s heal reach more people.
- The whirlwind deals continuous magic damage for 4 seconds and grows stronger with each tick, so place it where the opponent cannot easily escape, ideally right after Skill 2
Diviner
stuns them.
- Enemies at the center take an extra 2% of their max HP as magic damage and are slowed, so aim the center right on your main target.
- In mid lane, drop it in the middle of a minion wave to clear quickly; in the late game it can lock down narrow paths.
- The wind orb passes through the first victim; shoot it through a minion or hero standing in front so it hits a second target, gathering both together and stunning them for 1 second.
- Even if it only hits one target, it still slows by 50% movement speed, enough for allies to chase or for you to retreat safely.
- The skill’s passive: when
Annette
is stunned, this skill’s cooldown is refreshed immediately, along with a shield and bonus armor and magic defense for 2 seconds (45-second cooldown), so counterattack with another orb as soon as the stun ends.
- Fly to the target location, launching nearby enemies and raising a wind wall that blocks them from passing for 3.5 seconds, perfect for splitting the enemy team or stopping a dive on your carry.
- Allies inside the wind wall gain movement speed and attack speed, so place it with your marksman inside to counterattack.
- Casting it removes all crowd control on
Annette
, so always keep it as an escape when you get ganked.
How to Play Annette in the Early Game
In this phase, keep your distance from enemy heroes and take advantage of the long range of Skill 1
Gust Force
and Skill 2
Diviner
to poke and check bushes, creating space and a shield for your team’s AD to farm. You can also use these two skills to clear minions fast when playing mid.
If you’re dominating your lane, rotate early to pressure the enemy team. Take advantage of Skill 2’s
Diviner
terrain-crossing ability to surprise enemies while ganking.
How to Play Annette in the Mid Game
As the game reaches the mid game, keep following and protecting your team’s marksman while farming, pushing lanes, and joining small skirmishes.
If your AD is already tanky enough to farm alone or has another support, follow your jungler or mid laner to gank and secure Dragon or Abyssal Dragon.
Make good use of Skill 3
Hurricane Wall
in team fights or when ganked to protect yourself and your allies.
Avoid roaming alone during this phase since
Annette
is fairly squishy and lacks mobility, making her an easy target for enemy ganks.
How to Play Annette in the Late Game
In the late game, focus on sticking with your whole team for fights. Stay positioned in the backline near your core damage dealers, then use Skill 1
Gust Force
and Skill 2
Diviner
to attack the enemy or shield your allies.
When you see the enemy team closing in to engage, immediately activate Skill 3
Hurricane Wall
to knock them away, raise a wind wall that stops them from crossing, and grant your allies bonus movement speed and attack speed.
Try to end fights quickly since
Annette
‘s power falls off if the match drags on too long.
