Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win with Nami's sustain and your mobility to dodge Gangplank Q poke.
- Post-6: LeBlanc's burst combo can 100-0 you instantly, making this matchup heavily enemy-favored.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E-empowered autos with Nami's E slow to stack spears, then R to engage when enemies are low or mispositioned.
- Coordinate with Nami's Q for guaranteed follow-up during your R knockup.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves quickly with Q to enable Nami roams and avoid extended laning phase where LeBlanc becomes lethal.
- Reset waves frequently to maintain safe positioning and avoid ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by LeBlanc's W-Q combo or you'll be forced to back constantly.
- Avoid using R aggressively post-6 since LeBlanc can instantly kill you during the animation.
