Early game (levels 1–5)

Before LeBlanc has Distortion at level 3 she's immobile and squishy, so punish levels 1 and 2 hard with Petricite Burst and E poke. You still out-trade with Chain Lash since she lacks her full burst combo. Get your chunk in early, because the lane gets much harder the moment she comes online.
