LeBlanc

LeBlanc is a 4-cost Arbiter and Shepherd champion that usually plays as a backline damage dealer. It needs safe damage uptime, and the unit gets much better when your frontline buys enough time. LeBlanc appears in Protect Teemo and Mirror Mayhem lines, so keep copies when those boards are open.

Consider playing around LeBlanc when you can level cleanly and find key copies on the rolldown. For items, Guinsoo's Rageblade and Jeweled Gauntlet are strong signals that LeBlanc can become a real carry. For team direction, it fits naturally when you are already moving toward Protect Teemo and Mirror Mayhem. If it stays one-star, the traits do not activate, or the items point elsewhere, treat it as a transition unit instead of forcing the line.

Guinsoo's Rageblade, Jeweled Gauntlet and Giant Slayer are recommended. Guinsoo's Rageblade ramps attack speed in longer rounds, Jeweled Gauntlet improves spell burst by enabling critical casts and Giant Slayer helps cut through high-health frontliners. The point of the setup is to give it enough uptime to convert its damage pattern into round wins.

When the perfect setup is not available, use Red Buff, Kraken's Fury, Nashor's Tooth and Rabadon's Deathcap as substitutes. For damage substitutes, match the damage type and cast tempo instead of forcing random stats. If LeBlanc is only a trait slot, one useful item is enough and the premium items should go to your real carry or main tank.

Early: play strongest board while keeping components that fit LeBlanc. Mid game: level toward the rolldown that can find a two-star copy. Late game: build around Arbiter and Shepherd and add either frontline, control, or secondary damage so the board is not one-dimensional.

Place LeBlanc in the back two rows with a clear line to the enemy frontline. Spread it away from your other carry unless you need same-side focus fire. Its mana bar is short, so surviving lets it cast repeatedly.
