Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against LeBlanc.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 4,486 pooled games the lane is leaning LeBlanc.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Hwei favoured: LeBlanc's early kit is fragile and lacks sustained trade damage against your wall control. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Hwei favoured: same dynamic continues, your range denies her safe pokes. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Hwei favoured: you still out-trade her base combo before Mimic comes online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill-based: Mimic doubling a root or burst spell makes her level-6 all-in a genuine coinflip if you're caught out. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill-based: her full combo range and reset potential demand careful positioning, a true execution check. |
| First item | Hwei | Hwei favoured: your burst and zoning still win a landed exchange even into her item spike. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Hwei favoured: in a direct lane fight your damage and range keep winning, though vision discipline is still required against her roams. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: LeBlanc is fragile with only Sigil of Malice at 700, so Devastating Fire (QQ) and Grim Visage (EQ) punish her pokes and deny safe farming. Track Distortion is 15s at rank 1 and 10s maxed, a 600-unit dash with a 4-second return — punish the spot she returns to. LeBlanc's Sigil of Malice (Q) stings at 700, but Molten Fissure (QE) and Grim Visage (EQ) punish her for stepping in, so she is stuck in chip trades she cannot win outright.
