ABILITIES

Inherent Glamour
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.

Blooming Burst
QBlooming Burst

Neeko throws a seed dealing magic damage. The seed blooms again on hitting champions or killing units.

Shapesplitter
WShapesplitter

Tangle-Barbs
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.

Pop Blossom
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.

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.

Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it.
