Cypher LeBlanc

With Cypher you generate Intel by winnng or Losing. You get more Intel from Losing especially from consecutive losses. At 3-3, 3-7, 4-3, 4-7 or 5-5 you can cashout your Intel. The higher the Intel the better the cashout. The Intel also scales with stages.

If you do NOT have an good opener you can streak with and you get dropped Draven or Galio from the Orb you should be considering playing Cypher. Everytime you start to losestreak you should be holding Cypher Units. The cashout no matter how low or how high it is it will help you to cap out any Board even higher. Certain Augments like Patient Virtue, Good for Something or Calculated Loss will help you to spike even more.

You want to have pick prio on caroussel because you can hit Cypher Units from the Caroussel on 2-4 or 3-5. Always scout enemys to understand enemy board strength to understand when you need to position or remove Items from your Units. If you see other players going for losestreak you can put your Ranged Units in Front or corner your Melee. You should always aim to kill as many Enemy Units WITHOUT giving up your Losestreak. You can also slam Items late into the fight to kill 1 or even 2 Units. You want to use Focus Fire which means you want your Units to target only 1 Unit. You scout to know where you want your Units to be to target the weakest enemy Frontline-Unit. This Skill is super important to play Cypher effectiv. SCOUT, SCOUT, SCOUT. You only Level if you can add another Cypher Unit to your Board or you already have 50gold. If your missing LeBlanc or Vi you can roll a little at Level 6 or 5 if you stay above 50/40 gold. Even though your playing around LeBlanc which is a 2 Cost Champion, you want to roll at Level 7 because you need Galio, Draven and Zed to maximze your cashout aswell as your Boardstrength. You want to be Level 7 at 3-5 with 50gold where you roll for 1 Galio or 1 Draven for more Intel aswell as upgrades to save some HP. You dont roll below 33gold and you dont want to give up your losestreak before cashing out at 3-7 or 4-2 most of the time. You want to slowroll for LeBlanc3 = Galio3 > Draven3 till you have atleast 2 lives which is ~16HP. To winout you need all 3 fully itemized, aswell as upgraded. LeBlanc fires 6 sigils every cast she sends 1 more which means you want her to cast as often as possible to maximize her damage. She also hits multiple Units which can allow her to hit Backline. Draven and Zed both can hit the Enemy Backline aswell.

The 290 cashout is easy to hit and can offer an Radiant Item which makes it a very strong cashout. The 250 Intel breakpoint can offer 4 duplicator which is good for reroll but it might be a to weak cashout to winout even when hitting LeBlanc3, Draven3 and Galio3 in some high resource Lobbys. Many cashouts are designed to play Vertical Cypher which got buffed 2x already. Cashout 450, 500, 550 and 600 Intel are very strong cashouts in Vertical Cypher. You can also pivot with Cypher into many strong Comps. You want to pivot into comps which are strong in Stage 4 and can cap high with 5 Costs units. You can also use Cypher to play into 6 Rapidfire Renekton if you hit a Rapidfire Emblem from the Cypher cashout 250.

Itemizeprio: LeBlanc3 = Galio3 > Draven3 > Zed2

Every cast increases the damageoutput of LeBlanc which means she wants a managenerating Item like Blue Buff or Shojin. Blue Buff is better than Shojin on LeBlanc but since you need alot of Tears on your Board Shojin is better for Item economy. Nashors or Void Staff as second Item for attackspeed and her 3rd Item is Hextech Gunblade for survivability. Draven wants AD Caster Items Shojin for Manaregeneration, Infinity Edge for Abilitycrit and Strikers Flail/Last-Whisper for Armorpen which helps Zed too, to kill Enemy Backline Units. Zed wants also IE, Hand of Justice and Bloodthirster which means you need many Swords and Gloves aswell as Tears. Galio takes your Tank Items like Warmogs, Bramble, Dragonclaw or Stoneplate. All Cypher Units get alot of AD & AP the 5 Piece Trait.

Manazane is broken on LeBlanc.

Componentprio: Tear, BF, Crit.

Positioning is very important in Vertical Cypher because Zed and Draven are able to target the same Backline Unit very early on in the fight. You want Zed to be at the same side as the enemy Backline carry in A3 or A5 since he jumps 4 Hexes away while Draven hits the most units in line. Late into the fight when there is only 1 Frontliner left LeBlanc will target the Enemy Backline with her Sigils too.

Encounter:

This Comp has 4 Carrys while beeing very expensive which makes Scuddle Puddle and Crab Rave good Encounters for Vertical Cypher but keep in mind in both Portals Enemys cap higher which can also be bad for you.

Reroll Subscription is great because it allows you to use your freerolls to hit Cypher Units for a higher Intelcashout without Losing Money.

LuckyShop & Two Star Shop can be used to help you rerolling.

Augments:

You want to have 1 Gold/XP/Reroll Augment because this Comp is very expensive. Augments like Calculated Loss, Trading Sector or Upward Mobility give you freerolls which you can use early to hit Cypher Units without losing interest. You only want to take Combat Augments when you have all your carrys itemized. Itemaugments are very Important to maximize Boardstrength.

With Greater Moonlight 2 you can use Vi4 as your Maintank over Galio if your far away from Galio3.
