At a glance

You were drafted to eat exactly this — W through the wave, double-proc the sigil, and return before her rotation loads.

Track: Cassiopeia's W — Miasma (24–16s cooldown). Grounds you — dashes and leaps are disabled inside it.

Do

  • Q-W double-proc every wave contact
  • Chain the half-bar windows at 6
  • Cash the lead into plates and roams early

Don't

  • Linger past the W return window
  • Trade into her one CC spell
  • Coast — your lead has a sell-by date

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LeBlancNo dash and slow poison ramp-up means she loses every early trade you open with Q-W
Level 2LeBlancSame at 2 — Miasma is 24s at rank 1 and one cloud cannot cover a whole lane
Level 3LeBlancAt 3 Ethereal Chains roots a champion with no dash — chain from 925, detonate, and the string ends before her poison ramps
Levels 4-5LeBlancAngled engage lets your burst combo kill her before Petrify ever lines up
Level 6LeBlancMimic at 6 doubles the rotation, and a 120-second Petrifying Gaze only stuns if you are facing her — dash in from behind and it slows
First itemEven / skillSnowballing the lead denies her the farm needed to reach her power items
Two+ itemsEven / skillAt full build her Petrify+poison output finally out-scales your burst if she catches you facing her

How to beat Cassiopeia as LeBlanc: the early game

Cassiopeia's early kit is deceptively soft — no dash, and Twin Fang deals its real damage only into already-poisoned targets, so her output ramps over multiple hits rather than bursting you like you burst her. W in while she's still building poison and she has no way to disengage, since Serpentine Grace only helps once her poison is already on you. Look for all-ins at 3-5 while Miasma is still 24s and cannot ground your exit.
