LeBlanc vs Kassadin

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

LeBlanc is a mobile AP assassin with medium lane pressure who must deny Kassadin a safe, passive early lane to delay his scaling.
Use burst trades and mobility to punish Kassadin's low early agency and wave control before level 6.

Trading pattern

Use W for burst engage and repositioning, then threaten E root if Kassadin can't respond.
Respect Kassadin's Kassadin Q shield when trading, and avoid prolonged fights before level 6.
Punish Kassadin if he wastes Kassadin R with low mana or overextends after Kassadin R engages.

Danger windows

Kassadin becomes dangerous after level 6 with Kassadin R for short trades and escapes; avoid all-ins without your full combo ready.
Missing W engage can leave you vulnerable to Kassadin's counterattacks.
Kassadin's Kassadin Q shield reduces your magic poke damage; time trades when it's on cooldown.

Early game

Abuse Kassadin's low early agency by applying pressure with level 2 Q+W or Q+E burst trades.
Avoid extended trades after missing W, as Kassadin can punish your low waveclear and forced farming under tower.
Keep Kassadin from safely farming near tower by controlling the wave and threatening chains after W engages.

Power spikes

Major spikes: LeBlanc's level 2 burst with Q+W or Q+E, level 6 R, and first completed AP item.
Respect Kassadin's level 6 Kassadin R spike for burst and mobility.
Kassadin's first completed scaling AP item also increases his threat, so keep pressure before then.

Win conditions

Win by denying Kassadin farm and forcing him under tower early to delay his level 6 power spike.
Use your high mobility and burst to punish Kassadin's low early waveclear and lack of hard crowd control.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Kassadin from safely reaching his scaling windows with Kassadin R available.
