Read from Neeko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Aurora.
This is Neeko's own plan; across 625 pooled games the lane is leaning Neeko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Your Q poke and shove beat her mana-starved, kite-less level 1. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 she still has no reliable dash and you out-trade her. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Your level 3 Q-E all-in punishes her before her passive and W ramp. |
| Levels 4-5 | Aurora | Her W Across the Veil dash starts dodging your telegraphed Tangle-Barbs. |
| Level 6 | Aurora | At 6 her Between Worlds ult zone lets her sidestep your Pop Blossom. |
| First item | Aurora | First-item W resets and Q poke let Aurora kite your immobile engage. |
| Two+ items | Aurora | At two-plus items her mobility and reposition keep your telegraphed R off her. |
You take the first three levels: before Aurora's Spirit Abjuration healing and Twofold Hex poke come online she's mana-limited and can't kite, so your Q waveclear and level 3 Q-E all-in let you shove and pressure her while she has no dash charged. Track Across the Veil: 22/21/20/19/18, matchup-defining — she hops and goes invisible, so she is killable only while it is down.
