How to win lane as Neeko against Qiyana · 50.59% win rate over 85 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | You out-range and out-sustain Qiyana's melee-range element Q at level 1, shoving Blooming Burst before she can trade. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | With Q and W speed you clear faster and Qiyana can't all-in without her E dash charged. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Tangle-Barbs gives you the root to punish her whenever she steps into melee to last-hit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Qiyana | Once she has E plus a charged element near walls, her burst combo out-trades your cooldowns in the 4-5 window. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Pop Blossom's stun and your disguise beat her wall-dependent, telegraphed ult, letting you R her out of the play. |
| First item | Qiyana | Her assassin item spike lets her one-combo you before your defensive layers come online. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | With two items your AoE Q and R and clone control outscale her single-target burst in teamfights. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: you out-range Qiyana's melee element Q and shove Blooming Burst in before she has her E dash to all-in, so poke her off CS and deny her a free element charge.
