LeBlanc vs Hwei

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

LeBlanc is a mobile burst assassin who must pressure Hwei to deny his long-range poke control and prevent him from comfortably scaling.
Expect to face high lane pressure from Hwei's poke and crowd control; LeBlanc should avoid giving him a passive lane to set up his level 6 all-in.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with W for burst and repositioning, then use E to lock down Hwei if he cannot respond.
Respect Hwei's Hwei E cooldown and spell choice; avoid engaging when his crowd control is available.
Use mobility to dodge Hwei Q poke and punish cooldown windows when Hwei's defensive spells are on cooldown.

Danger windows

Be cautious when W is missed, as LeBlanc is vulnerable to counterattacks due to low waveclear and return pad control.
Respect Hwei's Hwei E crowd control and level 6 all-in with Hwei R for lethal trades.
Avoid prolonged exposure when Hwei has shield options from Hwei W and crowd control ready from Hwei E.

Early game

Use W to engage for quick burst trades, then threaten E to root if Hwei mispositions or uses the wrong E spell.
Avoid extended trades if W is missed, as Hwei can punish LeBlanc's low waveclear and lack of mobility.
Prioritize punishing Hwei's incorrect E spell choice early to disrupt his poke and control pattern.

Power spikes

LeBlanc's major spikes: level 2 burst with Q plus W or E, level 6 R, and first completed AP burst item.
Hwei's major spikes: level 3 unlocking all spellbooks for full poke and control, level 6 Hwei R, and first completed mage item.

Win conditions

Win by using W plus E chains to burst Hwei during his defensive cooldown downtime and punish wrong E spell choices.
Deny Hwei a calm scaling lane by applying pressure and forcing him to use spells defensively.
Reach level 6 and item spikes to outburst Hwei before he can fully control the lane with his poke and crowd control.
