LeBlanc is a mobile AP assassin with medium lane pressure who must use clean ability chains to punish Ahri's cooldowns and avoid getting pushed under tower.
Focus on denying Ahri a calm scaling lane by leveraging your burst and mobility to pressure before she can safely use Ahri E and Ahri R.
Trading pattern
Engage trades with W for burst and repositioning, then threaten E root if Ahri cannot dodge or respond.
Respect Ahri E cooldown and avoid committing when Ahri E is available and you lack mobility.
Capitalize on Ahri's cooldowns by forcing short trades and backing off before her Ahri R allows her to extend or escape.
Danger windows
Be cautious when Ahri E is up and you are within her engage range, as it can lead to lethal trades.
Avoid extended trades if you have missed W or if Ahri R is available to follow or escape.
If Ahri roams after pushing wave, hard push to punish and deny her map pressure.
Early game
Use level 2 burst with Q plus W or E to pressure Ahri before she gains Ahri R mobility.
Avoid extended trades if your W is down, as missing it leaves you vulnerable to Ahri's poke and Ahri E.
Punish Ahri whenever she wastes Ahri E or Ahri Q on the wave, as her main damage and pick tools will be on cooldown.
Power spikes
LeBlanc's major spikes are level 2 burst combo, level 6 R, and first completed AP item for high burst damage.
Respect Ahri's level 6 Ahri R spike and her first completed mage item that improves waveclear and pick potential.
Win conditions
Win lane by using your superior burst and mobility to punish Ahri's cooldowns and force her out of lane.
Deny Ahri calm farming windows to prevent her from safely scaling and roaming.
Reach your power spikes quickly and leverage R to secure kills or force Ahri to play cautiously.
