Abilities & tips
Open an ability to read its effect and a practical use tip.
PInherent 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.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
QBlooming Burst
Neeko throws a seed dealing magic damage. The seed blooms again on hitting champions or killing units.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
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.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
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.
Practise the hit area and target conditions first. Do not spend the rest of your rotation automatically when the opening damage misses.
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.
Use this control to create a follow-up window. Check the target’s defensive spells and your teammates’ range before committing.

Game plan by role
Neeko · Support
Stand where you can help your lane partner without exposing both of you. Coordinate the opening before spending your main control or protection.
Set up vision with nearby allies rather than walking into unlit areas alone. Roam when your lane partner can safely handle the next wave.
Choose between creating an opening and protecting the teammate who can carry the fight. Do not spend every defensive spell on the first visible enemy.

06
Matchup preparation
Compare opponents in the build for the role you are actually playing. Then check their key control, escape and defensive spells before choosing your trade.
07
Practice checklist
- Cast each ability alone and identify its range, target conditions and stopping point.
- Practise the first sequence slowly. Repeat it while moving, without skipping the conditions shown on its card.
- After each attempt, identify the spell you would still have available to defend or retreat.
