LeBlanc Build Guide by SPK_VeNoM

Introduction

Hi I'm SPK VeNoM. I main midlane and love to play LeBlanc so I decided to make a guide for The Queen of the Jukes!

This build is still Work in progress!

Le Blanc - Standard info

LeBlanc is a AP Assassin Midlaner. She has a huge amount of burst damage in 1v1's and you also can Juke your enemy's 4 Days!

When I Started playing Midlane more often I realised LeBlanc was a verry good AP Assassin that has insane power in 1v1's. If you manage to win your lane your midgame is insanely good and you can blow up enemy squishy's.

Abilities - Usage and Combos

Now you know what LeBlanc her abilities are and what they do we are going to take a look at some combos for these abilities to make your enemies lifebars disappear!

Let me first explain how I'm going to set this up. I will show you some combos that you can use while playing LeBlanc. First I tell you the combo and then I will describe it more in-deph. The + between the icons means that the following ability is crucial for the combo. The + means that the following ability is sitiuational and you dont have to use it every time. (AA means Auto Attack)

Combo 1 :

(AA) + + + + (AA) +

- This is the basic LeBlanc combo you can pull off when you hit level 2 or 3 (depends if you want to use chain) This combo will deal a significant amount of damage. First your Sigil of Malice will deal 55 damage followed by 85 damage from your Distortion. You also trigger the Sigil of Malice dealing another 55 damage. If you manage to land the chain you can deal another 40-80 magic damage and you can land some AA. Making this a good combo dealing a minimum total of 275 ( 195 without Ethereal Chains) magic damage + the % of AP you run with runes and items. If you can kill the target use Ignite to close your combo and secure yourself the kill

+ + + (AA)

- This combo works well to lock down a target. Therefore it is key to land your Ethereal Chains. The Sigil of Malice will also trigger and deal some extra damage. In this combo Distortion is only used to get in range for your Ethereal Chains or to clear minions so they wont get hit by your Ethereal Chains. This combo is great for setting up ganks. If you land a Ethereal Chains your jungler can just walk into lane and land their cc. This combo works great with high cc junglers such as Vi, Amumu, Rengar (with empowered Bola Strike) or can set up a Lee Sin Dragon's Rage into your team.

+ + +

- This combo makes the lifebars of the enemy carries disappear. When you hit your Sigil of Malice you immediately follow up with your Mimic to deal a big amount of burst damage. When you are level 6 this already will deal a total of 210 magic damage ( Sigil of Malice + Mimic Sigil + proc of Sigil of Malice ). The target will still be tagged by your Mimic Sigil of Malice so when you use your distortion it will proc again and deal 100 damage on top of your level 3 Distortion that will deal 165 damage that makes this combo do a minimum amount of damage of 210 + 165 + 100 = 475. This is without the AP% that you got at the moment. Lategame this combo can burst down enemy carries verry fast and can help you al lot in fights to blow up an enemy. The Ignite is situational, if you dont manage to kill your target you can Ignite him to deal the killing amount of damage.

+ + + +

- This combo is specially usefull for locking down a target for a long period of time. The Distortion will be used for the same goal as in combo 2, to gab-close or clear minions. You Distortion into range of your Sigil of Malice and land your Ethereal Chains, now just walk along with your target to activate the root. When your target is rooted you throw your Mimic Ethereal Chains on him to make sure it hits. At the time he is free from the first root it will only take about 1 second before he will be stuck again. In the meantime your team can follow up or kill the target. If you are level 18 ingame and have all abilities maxed you can alomost shoot out a regular Ethereal Chains after the Mimic one because of the cooldown only will be 8 seconds - your % cooldown reduction. This is a combo that can be very usefull for chasing targets after a teamfight. If yout team is behind you the lockdown gives them time to catchup with you and your target. It can also be used to keep a tank in place. When you lock down the tank your team can do free damage and you should be able to kill him despite his Armor and MR. The Sigil of Malice is optional because it doesnt add lockdown. It only damages the target some more what can be usefull but isn't crucial every time.
