How to win lane as Neeko against Pantheon · 57.93% win rate over 145 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 favours Neeko because you out-range Comet Spear and punish any walk-up without W. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays Neeko's as you control the wave and trade back on his short-range poke. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 is Neeko's — your E-Q combo out-damages his all-in when you dodge the W stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 remain Neeko's as you kite his engage and out-poke his committed trades. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 stays Neeko's since your clone-flank Pop Blossom out-bursts him and his R is only a roam threat. |
| First item | Neeko | At first item Neeko spikes as your burst overwhelms an AD bruiser with no ranged scaling. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | With two-plus items Neeko dominates: a single-target melee who blocks only one angle falls to your AoE. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: you out-range Comet Spear and can trade back on any Pantheon who steps up without his W. His whole game is landing Shield Vault to start an all-in, so sidestep it, hold your root for his leap, and he is left poking with a short-range spear while you control the wave.
