What makes Neeko dangerous
Neeko disguises as ANY unit — minion, ward, ally — ambushing from impossible angles, roots through the first target hit (E empowers through champions), pokes with blooming seeds, and her ultimate leaps with a huge AoE stun-burst after a hidden wind-up in disguise.
How to play against Neeko
- 1Odd minion in the wave? Hit it. Trust nothing that moves strangely.
- 2Her ult winds up under disguise — watch for "minions" walking at your face.
- 3Don't stand behind allies vs her E — it empowers through them.
- 4Spread out in fights: everything she does is AoE.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Squishy and reliant on landing the E root.
- ✓Disguise breaks on damage — poke suspicious units.
- ✓Predictable ult range once you've seen it.
- ✓Falls off if behind — punish the lane.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Neeko's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Stile innatoNeeko può assumere l'aspetto di un campione alleato o di altre unità sulla mappa. Il camuffamento cessa quando subisci effetti di controllo immobilizzanti, lanci abilità con danni, danneggi una torre nemica con l'aspetto di un non campione o subisci danni pari alla salute dell'unità di cui hai preso le sembianze.
Strong: disguises as ANY unit — minions, wards, allies — for ambushes. Weak: damage breaks it — poke anything suspicious.
Q
Bocciolo esplosivoNeeko lancia un bocciolo che infligge danni magici. Il bocciolo fiorisce nuovamente quando colpisce i campioni o uccide le unità.
Strong: a triple-pulsing seed that blooms on kills and champions. Weak: small zones — step out between pulses.
W
SdoppiaformaNeeko infligge passivamente danni magici bonus con ogni terzo attacco, aumentando brevemente la sua velocità di movimento. Neeko può attivare l'abilità per inviare un clone in una direzione e rilanciarla per far cambiare direzione al clone.
Strong: a clone runs deception routes while she escapes or engages. Weak: clones don't cast — the silent twin is the fake.
E
GroviglioNeeko spara un groviglio che danneggia e trattiene tutto ciò che attraversa. Se il groviglio uccide un nemico o attraversa un campione diventa più grande, più veloce e trattiene più a lungo.
Strong: a root that EMPOWERS through champions hit — chain CC from range. Weak: don't stand behind allies — the empowered root travels through them.
R
Furia floridaDopo una breve preparazione, Neeko balza e lancia in aria tutti i nemici nelle vicinanze. All'atterraggio, i nemici vicini vengono danneggiati e storditi. La preparazione è nascosta se Neeko è camuffata.
Strong: a leaping AoE stun-nuke charged in stealth/disguise. Weak: the wind-up is loud once revealed — scatter from any Neeko running at your face.
Itemization
Paranoia wins: tag odd units, spread out, and keep MR. Her whole kit needs the E to land first.
