Early game (levels 1–5)

Levels 1-2 are dangerous — LeBlanc can burst a huge chunk of your health with Sigil into Chain before you have any shield to soften it. Stay behind minions and don't give her a clean skillshot angle. If she blows her combo and whiffs, that's your only real trade window. Otherwise, just farm safely and avoid short trades.
