How to beat LeBlanc

Common role: Mid

A deceiver assassin who bursts you in a blink and leaves a clone behind.

What makes LeBlanc dangerous

LeBlanc dashes in with W (and can return to its start point), chains you with a root (E), and mimics her spells with her ultimate for huge burst. Her passive spawns a clone when she drops low, so you often kill the wrong target. She deletes squishies in one rotation and is gone before you react.

How to play against LeBlanc

• 1Track her W return window (~4s): she usually jumps back — punish the return spot.
• 2Dodge or break her chain (E): it needs ~1.5s tether to root you — step away or behind minions.
• 3Push her under tower: her waveclear is weak early and she wants to roam.
• 4Magic resist and one defensive item (Hexdrinker/Verdant) break her one-shot pattern.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Falls off if she can't snowball early kills.
• ✓Weak, mana-hungry waveclear in the first levels.
• ✓Her burst has long cooldowns — survive one rotation and trade back.
• ✓The clone dies to one hit and deals no damage — learn her tells.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of LeBlanc's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  鏡像

  自身の体力が40%を下回ると1秒間インビジブル状態になり、「鏡像」を発生させる。「鏡像」はダメージを与えず、最大8秒間持続する。

  Strong: at low HP she vanishes and spawns a clone — you burst the fake. Weak: the clone deals no damage and dies to one hit; tag both with AoE.

• Q
  シジルマリス

  刻印を飛ばし、対象にダメージを与えて3.5秒間マークする。マークした対象にスキルでダメージを与えると、刻印が爆発して追加ダメージを与える。どちらかのダメージで対象をキルした場合、マナコストが回復して、このスキルの残りクールダウンの一部が短縮される。

  Strong: marks you so her next spell detonates for bonus burst. Weak: single-target poke without follow-up — the threat is the combo, not the Q itself.

• W
  ディストーション

  指定地点にすばやく移動し、周囲の敵にダメージを与える。4秒以内にこのスキルを再使用すると、最初の位置に戻ることができる。

  Strong: a long dash that can return to its start point within ~4s. Weak: the return is predictable — stand on her return spot and punish it.

• E
  エーテルチェイン

  鎖の幻影を放ち、最初に当たった敵を鎖で繋ぐ。1.5秒間繋いだままにすると、追加ダメージとスネアを与える。

  Strong: a chain that roots you if you stay tethered ~1.5s. Weak: break the tether — step behind minions or just walk away fast.

• R
  再演

  選択した通常スキルの偽バージョンを使用する。

  Strong: mimics any spell for her biggest burst — double chains, double dashes. Weak: mimic shares the pattern of the copied spell — the same dodges work.

Itemization

Hexdrinker/Maw and Mercury's Treads gut her burst; Zhonya's on mages. Survive her rotation, then she's a minion for 10 seconds.
