Le Blanc is a strong AP assassin mostly known for her Summoner’s Rift oppressiveness. In ARAM, she is definitely known for falling short in comparison to other champs. Despite not having the greatest kit for ARAM, there are still a lot of things we can do to maximize the strength of this champion.
The most reasonable starting point would be to look at the highest win-rate build!
Best Le Blanc ARAM Items
Luden’s Companion
The most successful first item on Le Blanc in ARAM is the Luden’s Companion. This is not too surprising as the item will greatly enhance LB’s burst damage. Additionally, Luden’s also serves as a great mana aid in the early stages of the game where mana is quite scarce.
Stormsurge
Le Blanc is a champion who likes to go in and out of fights, playing with and around her own cooldowns. Therefore, it would only be reasonable to build around her kit, and take items that can facilitate the “in and out” sort of gameplay. A great item for this task would be the Stormsurge.
Each time we erase more than 25% of enemies’ health in a single trade, the Stromsurge will smite the enemies, dealing an extra bout of damage. Since LB has really good burst damage, we will be able to make great use out of this item.
Shadowflame
Another item that will facilitate our burst power is the Shadowflame. The item has pretty significant flat ability power ratios, as well as a small dash of magic penetration. When our enemies are below 40% HP, Shadowflame will increase the damage of our abilities by 20%. The power of this damage boost can not be understated, especially since we are playing a high-damage AP assassin.
Rabadon’s Deathcap
Rabadon’s Deathcap is an unskippable item for pretty much all full AP builds. It’s a key purchase that will increase our total AP by staggering 30%. Rabadon’s is also known for having the highest flat AP ratios in the game. All the increases from this item coupled with the previous items we have purchased will grant us a major power spike, allowing us to delete carries with great ease.
Void Staff
Everything in our build so far has hinted towards the purchase of Void Staff. After loading up on a bunch of AP and AP-related damage enhancements, it’s only fair to dedicate the last spot to an item that will increase the effectiveness of our AP. Void Staff will majorly increase our damage output by giving us an amazing amount of 40% magic penetration.
Boots
When it comes to boots selection we want to take something that will synergize the most with our champion’s core design. In Le Blanc’s case, the goal of the champion is quite straightforward. We just want to build stuff that enables the most damage, therefore, Sorcerer’s Shoes stand out as the most obvious choice due to their magic penetration buff.

Final Thoughts
Le Blanc is certainly an interesting champion to play, however, she does not boast a particularly high level of strength in ARAM. Regardless, there are still actionable steps we can take to make the champion more impactful. A reasonable place to start would be to craft a build such as one outlined above, that would play around all LB’s strengths.
