LeBlanc vs Zilean

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use burst combos to punish Zilean's low waveclear and lack of mobility.
Avoid prolonged fights since Zilean controls speed and can set up double bombs.
Focus on clean chains to capitalize on Zilean's reliance on bomb placement and ADC follow-up.

Trading pattern

Use (W) to engage and reposition, then threaten (E) root if Zilean can't dodge.
Punish missed (W) engages hard by stepping up to force him off the wave.
Avoid prolonged trades when Zilean has speed buff active from (E).

Danger windows

Respect Zilean's double (Q) stun setup; avoid clustering in minion waves.
Beware of (E) speed boosts enabling Zilean's ADC to kite or trade effectively.
Hold burst until after (R) revive is down to avoid wasted damage.

Early game

Hit level 2 quickly to unlock (Q)+(W) burst before Zilean sets bombs.
Avoid standing in minion waves where Zilean can double bomb for stun.
Watch for (E) slow to reposition and punish his cooldowns.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your full burst combo; use it to force Zilean back early.
Level 6 (R) doubles burst potential; look for all-ins or roams with ultimate ready.
First AP item spike increases trade threat; pressure waves and trades more confidently.

Win conditions

Use level 2 and 6 windows to secure kills or force Zilean out of lane.
Deny Zilean's bomb zones by dodging and punishing cooldowns to control lane.
Roam after pushing wave post-spike to leverage your mobility and snowball advantage.

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