Anivia vs LeBlanc

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Anivia is a control mage with medium lane pressure who must manage LeBlanc's high mobility and burst by using waveclear and zoning.
Prioritize denying LeBlanc the chance to chain her burst by maintaining lane control and punishing her mobility cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) then immediately follow with (E) for maximum damage.
Punish LeBlanc hard if she uses (W) to engage and misses her return pad.
Use (W) to block or funnel LeBlanc into your (Q), respecting her ability to reposition quickly with (W).

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is available for all-ins; missing it creates a punish window.
Anivia is vulnerable if caught without flash or after missing (Q), as LeBlanc can burst her down quickly.
Hard push and punish LeBlanc's roams since she struggles under tower and has low waveclear.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) early to push waves and punish LeBlanc's low waveclear.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 to reduce risk from LeBlanc's burst and mobility.
Hold (W) to block LeBlanc's approach or funnel her into your (Q) stun.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, use (R) to zone and make it hard for LeBlanc to siege or engage safely.
Respect LeBlanc's level 2 burst combo with (Q) plus (W) or (E) and her level 6 (R) for increased threat.
Post-6, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking LeBlanc's main cooldowns.

Win conditions

Control waves and zone with (R) to deny LeBlanc safe trades and force mistakes.
Exploit LeBlanc's low waveclear by pushing and poking her under tower to force unfavorable trades.
Use (Q) and (W) combos to catch LeBlanc out of position and secure kills or force summoner spells.
