Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 to Neeko's superior range and root setup, especially if she lands E after you W forward.
  • Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R guarantees gap close and she lacks reliable escape tools despite her W clone.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading is W-E-Q poke when she steps up for CS, then immediately return to shadow to avoid her E root.
  • Post-6, R onto her when your W is available for additional escape/repositioning after your combo.

Wave Control

  • Let her push early and farm safely, then look for all-ins post-6 when the wave is in a favorable position.
  • You want the wave slightly pushing toward her so you can R without tower interference but still have escape routes.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W shadow aggressively pre-6 when her E is available - she can root you during your return animation for a guaranteed punish.
  • Also avoid using R when she has both W charges up unless you're certain you can identify the real Neeko immediately.
