How to win lane as LeBlanc against Annie · 48.38% win rate over 1,267 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | LeBlanc's Sigil-Q burst out-trades Annie at levels 1-2 since Annie needs multiple spells to stack her passive stun first. |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | LeBlanc continues to punish Annie through levels 3-5 while her passive stun remains unreliable. |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | At level 6, LeBlanc's Mimic-doubled Chains shuts down Annie's stun-into-Tibbers combo before it can be used. |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | LeBlanc's first item burst window lets her all-in and kill Annie before her own combo comes online. |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | LeBlanc's ability to bait Annie's passive stun off cooldown keeps her ahead through the mid-game. |
| First item | LeBlanc | LeBlanc's snowballed lead and burst reliability remain favored heading into late game. |
| Two+ items | Annie | Annie's fully stacked stun-into-Tibbers combo becomes a guaranteed one-shot that outpaces LeBlanc's own burst once fully itemized. |
LeBlanc holds a clear edge in the early levels since Annie needs to land four spells to stack her passive stun, and LeBlanc's Sigil-Q trade simply deals more damage faster without a setup requirement. LeBlanc should punish Annie hard whenever her passive is on cooldown, since Annie has no escape and is extremely squishy. Annie is forced to play safe and farm carefully to avoid feeding easy kills.
