LeBlanc vs Katarina

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

LeBlanc is a mobile AP assassin with medium lane pressure who must use burst trades to deny Katarina safe scaling.
Focus on punishing Katarina's dagger setups and cooldowns to prevent her from establishing roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Use W for burst and repositioning, then threaten E root if Katarina cannot respond.
Punish Katarina when she uses E forward without reset paths to catch her out.
Avoid committing if Katarina's daggers are well positioned or her cooldowns are available for resets.

Danger windows

Katarina is dangerous when daggers are near escape paths or you lack crowd control to interrupt her R.
Avoid fighting when Katarina's R is channeling unless you have hard crowd control ready.
Missing your W engage can leave you vulnerable to Katarina's burst and resets.

Early game

Use level 2 burst with Q plus W or E to pressure Katarina before she can safely set daggers.
Avoid extended trades if you miss W engage to prevent Katarina from punishing your low waveclear.
Keep wave control to prevent Katarina from roaming and resetting with kills.

Power spikes

LeBlanc's major spikes: level 2 burst combo, level 6 R, and first completed AP burst item.
Respect Katarina's level 3 dagger setup and level 6 Katarina R ultimate as high threat windows.
Katarina's first completed burst item also increases all-in danger.

Win conditions

Win by using your mobility and burst to punish Katarina's dagger cooldowns and prevent her from safely roaming.
Deny her dagger setups and force her to farm under tower where she is weaker.
Use clean ability chains and R to outburst Katarina before she can reset in skirmishes.

Tip: For LeBlanc vs Katarina, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
