Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Annie

    Your Disintegrate (Q) and Incinerate (W) can now critically strike, so the burst you follow up with after a Pyromania (Passive) stun hits much harder.

  2. Eureka

    Prismatic

    Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.

    Why on Annie

    Building Ability Power now also lowers your cooldowns, so you cast more spells and reach the Pyromania (Passive) stun more often in each fight.

  3. Phenomenal Evil

    Gold

    Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.

    Why on Annie

    You cast Disintegrate (Q) and Incinerate (W) often on short cooldowns, so you keep hitting enemies and stack Ability Power steadily across rounds.
