Read from LeBlanc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Talon.
This is LeBlanc's own plan; across 3,597 pooled games the lane is leaning Talon.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | LeBlanc | You dominate early trades since his only gap-closer is an 8-second Q leap from just 575 range |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Continued poke advantage as his all-in still requires setup he can't safely get |
| Level 3 | LeBlanc | Full combo burst kills him before his own combo can finish, even through his gap-close |
| Levels 4-5 | LeBlanc | Mid-level combo strength still favors you as his damage output hasn't caught up |
| Level 6 | LeBlanc | Mimic-Chain burst wins the fight even through his stealth engage at level 6 |
| First item | Even / skill | Item power continues to favor your ranged burst over his melee-reliant all-in |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full-build combo damage still wins the straight 1v1 trade against his kit |
Levels 1-2 you outrange and outpoke him cleanly — his Q leaps only from 575 and Rake alone doesn't threaten your HP. Keep him off CS with Sigil poke at 700 and force him to walk into your chain to do anything. Track Rake: 9s at rank 1, 7s at rank 5 — the returning blades are most of his lane damage, so stand off the return line.
