Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Neeko's superior waveclear and range, making it difficult to establish plant zones or trade effectively.
- Post-6 you dominate through R zone control and burst potential, as Neeko cannot reliably escape your combo even with W if positioned correctly.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around landing E to guarantee plant damage, then immediately placing W seeds for extended trades that Neeko cannot match.
- Avoid short Q poke trades where Neeko can disengage freely, instead commit to longer exchanges where your plants provide sustained pressure.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on farming safely under tower while looking for jungle assistance, as Neeko's early pressure is temporary.
- Post-6, use your superior teamfight presence to force objectives and group fights where your R impact far exceeds Neeko's.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste E on Neeko's clone from W, as this leaves you vulnerable to her real engage or allows free farm for 12+ seconds.
- Avoid overextending for poke when your plants are down, as Neeko can easily punish with Q-E-passive combo when you lack zone control.
