Arrr, reference patch 16.20.1
the Deceiver
LeBlanc be a burst-focused champion who looks fer a reachable priority target and a course back aboard out. This overview keeps th' explanation practical and leaves patch-sensitive numbers to Riot's structured data and th' present in-battle tooltip.
Arrr, usual roleMidArrr, strengths and limits
These be kit-level patterns, nay a promise that every course or matchup plays th' same way.
Distortion allows ye to be aggressive wit' yer other spells while being able to return to safe harbour.
Using Distortion can lend a hand yer positioning to land Ethereal Chains.
Ye can chain Sigil o' Malice and Ethereal Chains to prevent characters wit' blink from escaping fer up to 4 seconds.
Arrr, LeBlanc's ultimate can create fake LeBlancs during her spellcast or, rarely, at a distant position.
Th' fake LeBlanc created at a distance will always run at th' nearest Champion, cast a harmless spell, then immediately disappear.
Attacking LeBlanc first aboard avoids most o' her tricks, especially if she's recently used her dash, Distortion.
Arrr, practical champion reading
Use these patterns to ask better questions afore choosing an gear, target or commitment. They describe th' kit, nay a promised result.
Magic resistance can reduce th' broad spell profile, but positioning and cooldown tracking still decide whether th' fit fer th' captain's eye tricks connect.
Track th' key setup and highest-impact cooldown. A missed or blocked opening can create a safer window afore th' full rotation returns.
Ranged attacks be useful only while a seaworthy line to th' target remains. Flanks, hard control and blocked escape routes can remove that advantage quickly.
A clean angle matters more booty than attacking th' nearest unit immediately. Keep an exit, reset th' course or follow-up course in mind afore committing.
Tenacity can shorten only eligible control. Displacements, airborne effects and repeated slows need their own positioning, blocking or movement captain's answer.
Anti-heal or anti-shielding be situational. Buy it only when th' effect be materially protecting targets and yer champion can apply th' captain's answer reliably.
A spell being available does nay mean th' shipshape sequence be sustainable. Watch th' resource bar as well as th' setup and escape cooldowns.
Defensive gear reference
Set sail wit' th' threat that be actually affecting th' clash. These be conditional comparisons, nay an automatic counter loadout.
Magic resistance addresses th' broad damage profile, while Tenacity can shorten reducible control.
Pick Plated Steelcaps instead only when physical basic attacks from this champion or th' rest o' th' crew be th' larger repeated threat.Normal Draft and Ranked role sea chart
Each course be assessed separately. Unfurl a role to reach its queue-specific loadout and matchup preparation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. LeBlanc be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. LeBlanc be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Jungle course. Jungle most often needs repeatable monster clear th' deck, seaworthy pathing and prize control without course income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. LeBlanc has an established central-course course wit' access to waves, both sides o' th' river and meaningful pressure betwixt prizes.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. LeBlanc be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Bot course. Bot most often needs dependable duo-course scaling and sustained damage wit' shared early pressure. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
Old chart, matey. Recommendations await inspection. LeBlanc be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Support course. Support most often needs useful engage, peel or utility while operating on low doubloons income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
Arrr, Situational AP purchase
Arrr, Buy healing reduction when enemy healing or regeneration is deciding fights and you can keep damaging the relevant target. Grievous Wounds reduces healing; it does not reduce shields, magic damage or crowd control.
Arrr, Oblivion Orb can provide healing reduction without immediately paying for a completed Morellonomicon. Fit the component around your core damage, mana and survival needs; check the current queue's item tooltip.
Arrr, Complete Morellonomicon when its stats and slot efficiency suit your build. Do not treat it as a mandatory first item just because your champion deals magic damage.
Arrr, Multiple Grievous Wounds sources do not add their percentages together. Another reliable applier may cover the same target, but you may still need your own source for a separate fight or target.
Arrr, Repeated spell damage and damage over time can maintain coverage more reliably than a single hit. Match the purchase to your actual spell access, enemy sustain and the teammates who can apply the debuff.
Arrr, If you die before dealing damage, you apply no healing reduction. If your target dies before healing, there is little healing to prevent. The debuff applies on qualifying damage immediately; it does not need to build up. It remains briefly after your last hit, so teammates can benefit even after you disengage.
Arrr, Only healing during the active debuff counts. For example, 40% reduction prevents 80 of a 200-point heal, or 400 of a 1,000-point heal, before other modifiers. Compare that with the damage, penetration or survival you delayed; neither example guarantees a kill. Healing after the debuff expires is unaffected.
Arrr, See the Arrr, oblivion Orb and Arrr, Morellonomicon Arrr, references for current effects and queue availability. These are situational decisions, not a measured best-build claim.
Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishWhen LeBlanc drops below 40% Health, she becomes invisible for 1 second and creates a Mirror Image that deals no damage and lasts for up to 8 seconds.
Arrr, practical readMirror Image be an automatic part o' th' kit involving damage. Track when its condition be active instead o' treating every fight th' same way.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishLeBlanc projects a sigil, dealing damage and marking the target for 3.5 seconds. Damaging the marked target with an ability detonates the sigil, dealing additional damage. If either part kills the target, Leblanc refunds the Mana cost and part of this spell's remaining Cooldown.
Arrr, practical readSigil o' Malice contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishLeBlanc dashes to a location, dealing damage to enemies near her destination. For the next 4 seconds, activate Distortion again to return LeBlanc to her starting location.
Arrr, practical readDistortion contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Th' cast changes position or access. Sailor record fer where th' champion finishes, nay only where th' trick begins.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishLeBlanc launches a chain that shackles the first enemy hit. If the target remains shackled for 1.5 seconds, LeBlanc roots them and deals additional damage.
Arrr, practical readEthereal Chains contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Th' first aboard valid unit in th' course receives or stops th' effect, so minions, monsters or champions can change th' result where th' tooltip allows them.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishLeBlanc casts a mimicked version of one of her basic spells.
Arrr, practical readMimic be part o' LeBlanc's R pattern. Read its listed effect first aboard, then track th' cooldown and condition that make th' next aboard use valuable.
Arrr, levels 1–18
Base values exclude gear, runes, temporary buffs and mode-specific modifiers. Cooldowns be th' listed base cooldown afore trick haste.
