She is a very strong jungler in the current meta. If she takes conqueror, she will win any duels with you, plus if she times her R correctly, your R becomes useless.

What's up, Names Do1HaveTh3Sauce. The League community that knows me refers to me as Sauce.
I am a Jungle/Mid main that plays Nidalee, Neeko, and Xin Zhao in the jungle, and Yasuo, Pantheon, and Akali in the Mid Lane, however I have been playing a tone of Neeko jungle recently and decided that I should make a guide on it because of how strong it is.
I have been asked so many freakin times, how do I make Neeko Jungle work? In a shortened, understandable version, the runes that I've tested on different accounts in different elo's are made to combine On-Hit and burst damage effectively. Neeko naturally does burst damage, which is what Mid Lane and Support players build off of, whereas Top Lane and even ADCarry Neeko players focus on the AD Crit damage using her W passive to deal massive damage. So
I finally figured out a way to combine AP burst damage with On-Hit AD damage and throw them into the jungle lmao.
Make sure to check out my Nidalee MobaFire Guide, which I'm continuing to update weekly (most of the time), if you are interested in learning how to play Nidalee.
Anyways, enjoy this Off-Meta Neeko Jungle Guide, and be sure to check out my YouTube Channel and subscribe if you enjoy the videos.

INFO

Cons
|
If you can memorize the following information and use it effectively every game you jungle, you will have an easy time climbing to D4 at least and higher if you are able to adapt to changing your playstyle as you climb elo's.
|
Flash | ||
This summoner spell is a MUST. It allows you to escape or secure a kill.
| ||
Ignite | ||
Chilling Smite | ||
This is the main Smite that you will take when jungling with Neeko. It helps kill champions with the small amount of True Damage it deals, slow champions making it easier for you land your Tangle-Barbs and hit them with your Blooming Burst or your Pop Blossom.
| ||
Challenging Smite | ||
Challenging Smite should be used situationally. An example would be if their jungler is someone like Kayn, Rammus, Nunu & Willump, Olaf, or Xin Zhao because you will be dueling with them a lot, and those champions tend to be close and personal when fighting.

On-Hit Neeko
|
AP Neeko
|
Nashor's Tooth | ||
The number one CORE item for On-Hit Neeko. If you choose to build On-Hit, this is the most important item you need to rush because it gives you 100 AP which all of your abilities scale off of, and gives you a 50% attack speed buff.
| ||
Kraken Slayer | ||
Your second CORE item in the On-Hit Neeko build. Build this after you finish Nashor's Tooth, and Berserker's Greaves. It gives you an additional passive when you auto attack 3 times, which works perfectly with Shapesplitter, and Press the Attack.
| ||
Night Harvester | ||
This is your go-to item when playing AP Neeko. It works well in teamfights when you land a 5 man ULT by deal extra damage to all of the targets if the item isn't on cooldown. Also great for picking off their champions, and in 1v1 duels.
| ||
Liandry's Anguish | ||
A great AP Neeko item for constant burn damage. It helps you clear camps faster, work great in fights with Demonic Embrace, and gives you AP, Mana, and Ability Haste which are all helpful.
| ||
Riftmaker | ||
Hextech Rocketbelt | ||
Most Neeko mid lane mains think of this as a CORE item. It gives you a way to close in on enemies, extra movement speed temporarily, and a way to escape. It also helps you land your ULT easier if used effectively. Personally I don't think this is a necessary item when jungling with her, but feel free to use it if you enjoy the item.
| ||
Luden's Tempest | ||
If you enjoy AoE burst damage from landing any of your abilities, this is the item for you. Every 10 seconds, your next ability (besides Shapesplitter) gets a empowered burst of AP damage. It's good if you go into a squishy comp, and don't want Night Harvester, and gives you extra Mana and Ability Haste.

Early Game: As you should know already (if you've read the guide up till now), Neeko's biggest weakness is the Early Game. There are things you can do to make her stronger, but this will always be when she is vulnerable. So, in the Early Game, you want to focus on farming, which includes prioritizing scuttle and getting objectives. Do NOT force unnecessary fights, unless you know what you are doing, based on the match up which comes with experience. You will need to recall earlier then most junglers so try to time your recall so you will make it to dragon about 40 seconds before it spawns to get vision with the Control Ward you should of bought, and sweep the are with you Oracle Lens. If you see that someone is weak, sure go ahead and gank to get the kill or whatever you must do, but always farm if there is not objectives or you see an ideal opportunity to get a kill. Mid Game: I would consider mid game in Neeko's perspective as when you get Nashor's Tooth, Berserker's Greaves, and Kraken Slayer. This is when you start engaging in fights. Don't go out of your way to seek someone, like you want to continue prioritizing objectives and farming, but no you can confidentially counter jungle and get more farm that way because you should be able to 1v1 most junglers at this point, if you can reset your auto attacks properly. Late Game: By this point, you should have the three items mentioned above, Rabadon's Deathcap, Zhonya's Hourglass, and a 6th item. Once you have these items, literally get objectives and engage in every fight (that's reasonable *don't go into a 1v5*) like being at every teamfight because you have a game changing ULT, and can melt and 1v9 at this point. If the game hits this late, you literally should win the game because you can kill baron and elder drake with 1 other person, while the rest of your team pushes into the opponents base. It's literally a GGWP if Neeko hits all 6 items. AP Neeko will just smack down her ULT and get a Penta Kill if she lands it right and by now she should be able to kill anyone because her stacks should be so high on Dark Harvest that her burst damage should kill anyone(except tanks in which you should of played On-Hit Neeko). Afternote: I hope you enjoyed this guide. Please please please leave a thumbs up vote if you enjoyed and found this guide helpful, and ask as many questions as you have for me.
