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
  镜花水月

  当乐芙兰跌至40%最大生命值以下时，她会隐形1秒并创造一个幻像（不能造成伤害），幻像最多可持续8秒。

  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
  恶意魔印

  乐芙兰朝目标投射一个魔印，造成魔法伤害并标记目标3.5秒。用一个技能对被标记的目标造成伤害时，会引爆魔印，造成附加伤害。如果这两部分伤害中有任一部分击杀了目标，那么乐芙兰就会返还此技能的法力消耗和此技能的一部分剩余冷却时间。

  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
  魔影迷踪

  乐芙兰位移至目标位置，并对目标位置附近的敌人造成伤害。在接下来的4秒里，她可以激活此技能来回到她的初始位置。

  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
  幻影锁链

  乐芙兰抛出一条锁链来束缚命中的第一个敌人。如果目标持续被束缚1.5秒，那么目标就会受到额外的魔法伤害并且被禁锢。

  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
  故技重施

  乐芙兰可以施放她一个技能的故技重施版。

  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.
