How to win lane as Ahri against Neeko · 53.97% win rate over 1,825 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Her Q poke and clone deception make level 1 an even fight neither side clearly wins |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Same story at level 2 — her disguise tricks still neutralize your early aggression |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 remains close as her root threat keeps you cautious |
| Levels 4-5 | Ahri | Your damage and Charm setup start outpacing her poke here |
| Level 6 | Ahri | Blooming Burst gives her a spike but your mobility now answers it in kind |
| First item | Ahri | Your burst combo kills through her clone tricks once you have item power |
| Two+ items | Ahri | Late game your mobility and single-target burst dominate her positioning tricks |
Levels 1-3 are close since her Q poke and clone deception threaten your positioning and you lack the tools yet to punish her disguise tricks, so it's an even lane rather than a losing one.
