How to win lane as Neeko against Annie · 43.04% win rate over 79 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | At level 1 Annie has no stun stacked, so your Q poke and shove win out. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | At 2 she still can't threaten a stun and you out-trade her range. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Your level 3 combo lands before her Pyromania charge is reliable. |
| Levels 4-5 | Annie | A stacked stun at 4-5 gives Annie a free Q-W burst you can't escape. |
| Level 6 | Annie | Level 6 Tibbers with a full stun can one-shot your immobile body. |
| First item | Neeko | First-item you punish her long post-stun cooldown with superior poke. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | At two-plus items your AoE R and flanks outscale her single-target stun. |
You start ahead: at levels 1-2 Annie hasn't stacked Pyromania yet, so her Q is just poke with no stun threat, and your faster Q waveclear plus E lets you shove and pressure her before her all-in comes online.
