Neeko is a Burst Mage that deals magic (AP) damage and brings airborne, stun, root. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Neeko's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.
ABILITIES
PassiveInherent Glamour
Neeko can look like an ally champion or as other units on the map. Receiving immobilizing crowd control, casting damaging spells, damaging enemy towers as a non-champion, or your disguise taking damage equal to its healthbar breaks the disguise.
QBlooming Burst
Neeko throws a seed dealing magic damage. The seed blooms again on hitting champions or killing units.
WShapesplitter
Neeko passively deals bonus magic damage every third attack, briefly increasing her move speed. Neeko can activate to send a clone in a direction and recast to change the direction of the clone.
ETangle-Barbs
Neeko slings a tangle that damages and roots everything it passes through. If the tangle kills an enemy or passes through a champion, it becomes larger, faster, and roots for longer.
RPop Blossom
After a short preparation, Neeko leaps into the air, knocking up all nearby enemies. Upon landing, nearby enemies are damaged and stunned. The preparation is hidden if Neeko is disguised.
COMBAT PROFILE
PLAYING ASNeeko
- You can set her passive to use hotkeys in the options menu. The default is Shift+F1~F5
- Try to use Inherent Glamour sparingly, ineffective uses will put enemies on the alert.
PLAYING AGAINSTNeeko
- Standing behind minions against Neeko is very dangerous as Tangle-Barbs become stronger.
- Pop Blossom's warning visuals are invisible if Neeko is disguised.
