Hi, my name is Syyvaz. I started playing league at season 4. I am making guides of my favorite champs!

You can see me on my stream or my Youtube channel. Feel free to ask any questions on stream or leave a comment on the guide!

Neeko brings a burst of colorful chaos to the Rift! Playing her can be a real game-changer with her versatility. Her passive, Inherent Glamour, lets her disguise herself as an ally, which can lead to some mind-boggling plays. And let's not forget the joy of confusing your opponents with her shape-shifting shenanigans. So, if you want to keep your enemies guessing and add a splash of mischief to the game, Neeko might just be your magical match!

Pros → Versality → Crowd control → Range and poke → Burst damage

Cons → Pop Blossom has a brief wind-up time → Skillshot Reliance → Squishiness

Currently the best rune setup for Neeko is the Arcane Comet Sorcery rune page as your primary and Inspiration secondary page.

FLASHWe need it 100% of the games.

TELEPORTIs used when you play MID, but if you want you can also take Barrier.

EXHAUSTI use it almost all my games as support.

IGNITEWe use it when we wanna be agressive. Use it only when you are confort playing Neeko.

PASSIVE
Inherent Glamour
Neeko can look like an ally champion, minion, ward, vision plants... Taking damage from enemy Champions or casting damaging spells breaks the disguise.

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

W
Shapesplitter
Neeko passively deals bonus magic damage every third attack. Neeko can activate to send a clone in a direction.

E
Tangle-Barbs
Neeko slings a tangle that damage and root everything it passes through. If the tangle kills an enemy or passes through a champion, it becomes larger, faster, and roots for longer.

R
Pop Blossom
After a short preparation, Neeko leaps into the air. Upon landing, nearby enemies are damaged and knocked up. The preparation is hidden if Neeko is disguised.

Blooming Burst is a great poking tool. Use it to harass your opponent from a safe distance.

Take advantage of Inherent Glamour to disguise yourself as a teammate or a minion. This can confuse opponents and set up surprise engagements or bait enemies into unfavorable trades.

Be Mindful of Mana!

Pay attention to the minimap. Neeko's ability to roam and impact other lanes is significant.

Neeko's combo often involves landing Tangle-Barbs to root the enemy, followed by Blooming Burst and empowered auto-attacks with Shapesplitter. This can be a powerful trading sequence, especially if you catch your opponent off-guard.

Neeko can be susceptible to ganks, especially without a reliable escape mechanism. Keep an eye on the enemy jungler's position and make sure to have vision control on river.

Remember, adapting your playstyle based on the matchup and understanding when to play aggressively or defensively is key to a successful laning phase with Neeko.

Neeko's ability to disguise herself makes roaming an effective strategy.

Help your team establish vision control around objectives like Dragon and Rift Herald.


Stay in the backline during teamfights, using your long-range abilities to poke and soften up the enemy team. Neeko Pop Blossom has a brief wind-up, so positioning is crucial to land a successful ultimate.

Look for opportunities to engage with Pop Blossom when multiple enemies are grouped together. This can turn the tide of teamfights by providing a significant amount of crowd control and damage.

Continue to use your passive to deceive enemies during teamfights. This can create confusion and disrupt the enemy's focus, allowing your team to gain an advantage.

Assess the situation and prioritize your targets. Neeko's burst damage can eliminate squishy targets quickly, but be mindful of enemy crowd control and threats.

If your team has a hyper carry or vulnerable backline, use your crowd control to peel for them. Tangle-Barbs and Pop Blossom can be effective tools to protect your teammates from diving enemies.

Remember, Neeko thrives in chaotic situations, so take advantage of the confusion and dish out your colorful burst damage to lead your team to victory!
