Who Wins
- Pre-6, you lose the level 1 and level 2 exchanges because LeBlanc's Q-W burst outpaces your damage before your W healing and passive stacks can sustain through it.
- Your first meaningful spike is level 3 when you have all three basic abilities, giving you enough sustained damage and healing to survive a full LeBlanc combo if you force a prolonged fight rather than a short trade.
How to Trade
- Post-6, you still lose a clean 1v1 if LeBlanc lands her full combo correctly, as the R(W) burst combined with Q detonation will delete you before your W healing matters.
- Your win condition is forcing extended fights by using E to knock her up mid-dash, which cancels her W return and keeps her in your melee range long enough for your sustained damage and passive to take over.
Wave Control
- Your best trading pattern is to bait out LeBlanc's W by walking forward aggressively, then immediately E when she dashes toward you to knock her up and cancel the return dash.
- From there, activate W for the healing and sustained damage, and use Q to keep her in place — the longer the fight lasts, the more your sustain outscales her burst.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not chase LeBlanc through her W dash blindly, as she will simply return to her starting position and you will have wasted your E and positioning advantage.
- Save your E specifically to interrupt her W mid-animation or to catch her after she has already used W, otherwise she will always have an escape route and you will never convert trades into kills.
