Leblanc Win Condition

Your main goal is to secure lane control by consistently taking "good quality trades" to win the trading war. If you win the lane, you can translate those leads into different parts of the map. The objective is to force her into suboptimal situations, like forcing a reset when she has low health and mana, leaving her "practically screwed".

Aurora Win Condition

Aurora wins the trade if she successfully lands herAurora QQ. She aims to deny your aggression and utilize her resources efficiently, avoiding situations where you can land a big, fatal combo on her.

General Strategy

Always start the lane with the Electrocute rune page combined with Sorcery secondary (Transcendence and Scorch) to maximize trading power and control. You must be intentional about taking small, win-oriented trades. You should actively use "aggressive baiting" to draw out her key abilities, such as herAurora QQ, before committing to your own trades. If you land a quality trade, focus on denying her resources (like forcing her to use potions).

Trading Patterns

The key is patience and execution. You should try to dodge herAurora QQ first and then jump in to trade. The trading pattern involves using the bullshit but effective QW combo, which is hard for enemies to retaliate against.

The max damage combo noted is EQRW (or Leblanc EE-flash-Leblanc WW-Leblanc RR), where the E is used to finish her off. When aiming to trade, ensure you hit the chain to keep her trapped, often leading to a kill if she missed the angle or is low on resources.

Wave Management

If she gives you push on the wave, you should take it because it allows you to initiate good quality trades. After forcing a trade, pull the minion wave back slightly to force her to walk up more. You should utilize a slow push to sell her of creeps and increase your control and pressure. When you secure a kill, crash the wave and take a fast reset to keep up lane tempo.
