Mid / offlane · Field guide
Leshrac
Convert spell pressure and a won fight into tower damage before enemies can reset.
First check
Who can hold a target inside your damage, and what structure becomes available afterward?
Play as Leshrac
- Layer Split Earth after a reliable setup or along a forced route instead of asking allies to follow a speculative stun.
- Use Diabolic Edict when the wave and allied position let you stay near a tower without being isolated.
- Enter Pulse Nova range after the enemy’s first control is accounted for, then leave when the fight no longer advances.
Play against Leshrac
- Keep your tower wave alive or clear his wave so Diabolic Edict pressure does not become free structure damage.
- Spread around the area he wants to occupy and force Leshrac to choose between chasing and protecting the push.
- Hold a control spell for his close approach rather than standing together in the path of Split Earth.
Make the lesson stick
For three Diabolic Edict uses, record wave state, nearby allies, structure damage, and whether Leshrac escaped.
