LeBlanc vs Anivia

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

LeBlanc is a mobile assassin with medium lane pressure who must deny Anivia's safe scaling by forcing fights before she controls the wave.
Prioritize using your mobility and burst to punish Anivia's low early agency and slow movement to avoid giving her a passive lane.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by W in for burst and repositioning, then threaten E root if Anivia cannot dodge.
Punish Anivia immediately after she misses Anivia Q, as her main pick tool is down.
Respect Anivia R slow and damage by avoiding prolonged trades inside her zone control.

Danger windows

Be cautious when your W engage misses, as you lose your main escape and can be punished hard.
Avoid fighting inside Anivia R zone where her damage and slow peak.
Respect Anivia Q stun combo cooldown to prevent getting locked down and burst.

Early game

Use level 2 burst with Q plus W or E to threaten quick trades before Anivia can establish zoning.
Avoid extended fights where Anivia can set up her R and W terrain to control space.
Keep the wave manageable to prevent being pushed under tower due to your low waveclear.

Power spikes

Major spikes: LeBlanc's level 2 burst with Q+W/E, level 6 R for double ability combos, and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Anivia's post-6 power spike when she can farm safely and zone with R, making her harder to siege.
Anivia's Lost Chapter power spike increases her waveclear and sustain, requiring careful timing to pressure.

Win conditions

Use your superior mobility and burst to force fights before Anivia sets up her zoning tools.
Punish missed Anivia Q to create kill pressure and deny her scaling.
Maintain lane pressure to keep Anivia farming under tower, limiting her waveclear and zone control impact.
