If you're on this guide, you might be wondering why someone would use AS items on neeko without running AD. There are very good reasons to run AS on a mostly AP neeko.

The passive on Neeko's W is a very underused ability. It actually gives a stack of itself whenever an enemy is hit, not when an auto attack animation is done. Why is this important? Well Runaan's Hurricane happens to increase the number of attacks, and thus stacks, from 1 to 3. This means you can make every auto attack W empowered by buying Runaan's.

The rest of the build revolves around this fact. Basically everything else is a stat stick for AP, increasing W empowered AA damage. This is why Nashors is so powerful, it gives you AS and AP, the stats needed to deal DPS with W empowered AAs

Another thing about the W AAs is that they give MS. We'll get to that later.

As for mythics, the normal ones for neeko work. Buy liandrys against tanks and Protobelt vs Squishes.

Now we get to talk about movement speed neeko. Movement speed is a good stat, so why not **MAXMISE IT**. Neeko's W AA gives movement speed, so the thing to do is to stack it. Get celarity and cosmic drive to help to increse your movement speed. Since you already have that, why not get waterwalking and relentlesss hunter to help your roaming. (use this build to roam)

Void staff: good AP stat stick
Zhonya's: probably the best optional item. Use it vs AD
Horizon: use this if your using E-R-Q a lot insted of auto attacking
Rabodons: same as void
Cosmic drive: see previous section

As for counters:
Banshees/Wits end: MR
Morrle: Vs healing
BOTRK: Vs tanks
Tiamat: if the enemy team keeps standing together: E+R+Q+AA(with ruannas and tiamdnt)

Passive: INNATE: Neeko is offered a selection of allied Champion icon.png champions to take their appearance. She can choose a new champion to switch her disguise or select herself to deactivate her disguise while Inherent Glamour is not on cooldown.

While disguised, Neeko can use basic attacks while keeping her form. Taking damage from enemy champions, or casting either Blooming Burst Blooming Burst or Tangle-Barbs Tangle-Barbs or leaping by Pop Blossom Pop Blossom breaks the illusion and puts Inherent Glamour on full Cooldown reduction icon.png cooldown.

Disguising as a champion or deactivating the disguise places Inherent Glamour on a 2-second cooldown.

Q: ACTIVE: Neeko propels a seed at the target location that deals magic damage to enemies in the area.

If the seed kills an enemy or damages a champion or large Monster icon.png monster, it will bloom again after a 0.75-second delay to deal magic damage. This can happen up-to twice per Blooming Burst.

W: PASSIVE: Basic attacks on-hit grant Neeko a stack of Shapesplitter, stacking up to 2 times. At 2 stacks, Neeko's next basic attack on-attack consumes the stacks to turn her attack into a Projectile.png non-projectile, deal bonus magic damage and grant her Movement speed icon.png bonus movement speed for 1 second.

ACTIVE: Neeko becomes Twilight Shroud old2.png invisible for 0.5 seconds, sending a temporary Command Hallucinate.png clone of her current form current form sprinting in the target direction for 3 seconds and up to 900 units away until it encounters terrain, at which it stops and remains idle. The clone is Playful.png untargetable to allies and for the first 0.5 seconds of its lifespan to enemies.

Both Neeko and the clone gain bonus movement speed for 3 seconds.

E: ACTIVE: Neeko slings a magical spiral in the target direction, dealing magic damage and Root icon.png rooting enemies it passes through.

If Tangle-Barbs hits at least one enemy, it thereafter grows in size and speed, with the root duration increased.

R: ACTIVE: Neeko winds up with spiritual essence over 1.25 seconds, highlighting the area around herself. This is not shown to enemies while she is disguised disguised.

After winding up, the cast time begins and Neeko leaps into the air over the duration, gaining a Hybrid resistances icon.png shield for 2 seconds that is increased for each enemy Champion icon.png champion that is nearby at the time of leaping.

When the cast time ends, Neeko lands to burst out the energy, dealing magic damage to enemies in the area and Stun icon.png stunning them for 1.25 seconds.
