How to win lane as LeBlanc against Katarina · 48.73% win rate over 3,452 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | Level 1 favours LeBlanc as Katarina has no engage or reset tools to punish poke this early |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | Level 2 stays LeBlanc-favoured for the same reason, she's still purely reactive |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | Level 3 favours LeBlanc since her burst combo still outpaces Katarina's early dagger resets |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Levels 4-5 remain LeBlanc-favoured as burst scaling keeps the damage race in her favor before level 6 |
| Level 6 | Katarina | Level 6 favours Katarina because Death Lotus resets on kill turn any bad LeBlanc trade into a snowballing all-in |
| First item | LeBlanc | First item favours LeBlanc as her burst spike punishes Katarina's positioning again before Katarina's own item spike |
| Two+ items | Katarina | 2+ items favours Katarina since reset chains off multiple daggers give her repeatable kill windows late |
Levels 1-2 Katarina has no reset engine yet, so your ranged poke and burst threat keep her passive and farming carefully under pressure.
