Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to range disadvantage and inability to stick to her through minions, but you win decisively post-6 when R gives you reliable gap-close and teamfight setup.
- Level 2 E-Q trades can be effective if you can avoid her E root, but the window is narrow.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is W to gap-close and confuse her targeting, then E-Q-auto before backing off with W stealth if needed.
- Post-6, look for R-flash engages when her E is down, as your ultimate damage and knockup duration give you kill pressure even through her W clone.
Wave Control
- Accept CS disadvantage early and focus on not taking free Q poke, using minions to block her abilities when possible.
- After 6, look to freeze near your tower and force her to overextend for farm, then punish with R engages when jungle pressure is available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W stealth for minor trades as the cooldown is too long and leaves you vulnerable to her E-Q combo.
- Never R without vision of her real position during W clone, as good Neekos will use the clone to waste your ultimate and leave you overextended.
