Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Neeko's superior range and wave control, forcing you to take poke while farming and limiting your ability to proc passive.
- Post-6 you become the dominant force as your R safety net allows aggressive all-ins, and your burst combo can kill her through her E root if executed properly.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to last-hit and poke simultaneously, then looking for E-Q-passive proc trades when she steps forward.
- Save W for extended trades or all-ins, as the shield and stun potential turn fights heavily in your favor.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and avoiding poke early, using Q to last-hit from range when possible.
- Post-6, look to build slow pushes that set up dive opportunities, as your R gives you the safety to take aggressive plays that other champions cannot.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your E for waveclear or minor trades, as it's your only gap closer and escape tool in this matchup.
- The critical mistake is not respecting her early game range advantage - taking too much poke pre-6 will prevent you from capitalizing on your post-6 power spike.
