Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Qiyana.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1LeBlancYou out-poke her at level 1 with Sigil range before she has any wall to combo off of
Level 2LeBlancAudacity only reaches 650 and sits on 11 seconds at rank 1 before she can commit
Level 3LeBlancFull combo online lets you burst her before she reaches E range
Levels 4-5LeBlancLevels 4-5 continue to favor your ranged all-in over her still-limited engage
Level 6LeBlancMimic-doubled Chain plus R disengage make you dominant right as she hits 6
First itemEven / skillFirst item is skill: Q-W-RW kills her in one rotation, but her lethality spike one-combos you off any wall first — whoever opens on the other's cooldown wins
Two+ itemsQiyanaHer wall-reset mobility and item-fueled one-shot potential finally make her the safer bet in late-game skirmishes

How to beat Qiyana as LeBlanc: the early game

Levels 1-2 you outrange her: Sigil reaches 700 and her Q only 525, so punish every step she takes toward a wall she wants Terrashape on. Play a poke lane and never let Audacity land on you first, because that dash is what starts her whole combo. Track Audacity (E): 11s at rank 1, 7s at rank 5 — a 650-range dash onto you, and once it is spent she cannot reach you at all.
