LeBlanc

Even among the Black Rose, the cabal she serves, LeBlanc is hard to pin down. She has gone by several names since the early years of Noxus, and the pale woman who wears them has been steering affairs in the empire for longer than most institutions have existed to notice. Those who have worked alongside her for years still cannot say with any certainty what she is after.

One Name Among Many

Her power rests on duplication, so pinning down the real LeBlanc at any moment is close to impossible. She can show herself to different people in different places, sometimes simultaneously, and her current scheme usually only comes into view once it has already played out. Her motives are just as elusive. That opacity matches her shifting identity, and she cultivates it on purpose.

Her kit follows the same pattern of deception. Sigil of Malice brands a target, and a follow-up spell can detonate the brand for bonus damage. Distortion is her trademark dash: she lands and strikes nearby, then within four seconds snaps back to where she began, serving equally well for attack or escape. Ethereal Chains holds fast anyone caught in it for long enough. Mimic, her ultimate, lets her cast one of her basic spells a second time during the same fight. Her passive, Mirror Image, finishes the illusion. When she drops below 40% health, she vanishes for a second and leaves a harmless double behind, drawing an opponent’s attacks toward a woman who was never there. By the time the ruse is clear, the real LeBlanc has already slipped away.
