How to win lane as LeBlanc against Naafiri · 45.65% win rate over 3,334 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | Her early dash all-ins are strong, but baiting them with the clone lets you win the trade instead |
| Level 2 | LeBlanc | Same pattern continues as her damage falls off once her mobility is spent and yours isn't |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | Her all-in combo can genuinely punish you if caught, but disciplined spacing keeps this in your favor overall |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Sigil/Shadowflame timing lets your ranged poke outpace her need to close distance |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | Your burst combo kills her before her dash reaches you if you don't stay stationary post-engage |
| First item | LeBlanc | Vision and spacing continue to neutralize her all-in kit as items complete on both sides |
| Two+ items | LeBlanc | She still lacks any ranged tool to punish your poke-and-retreat pattern in the late game |
Naafiri is an early-game bully whose dash combo and packmates can burst you down fast if you're caught overextended without your clone up. The key is never trading in melee range on cooldown — bait her all-in with the clone, let her commit her dashes into the fake, and punish with your real body once she's spent her mobility. Her damage is genuinely scary in short trades, but she has no ranged tools, so playing at max range with Sigil poke keeps you safe while still applying pressure.
