How to win lane as Neeko against Vex · 57.85% win rate over 121 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | You out-trade Vex point-blank at level 1 before her Doom passive comes online. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays yours as Vex can't yet punish your E-Q aggression. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | At three abilities your burst still beats hers before she sets up the passive reliably. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vex | Levels 4-5 tip to Vex: her Doom passive interrupts the mobility your combo needs. |
| Level 6 | Vex | Vex's level-6 R Shadow Surge is a safer, longer-range all-in than your R. |
| First item | Neeko | Your first-item spike lets you shove and burst her when Mistral Bolt is down. |
| Two+ items | Vex | By two items Vex's chain-recast R and E fear zones control fights over your dive. |
Levels 1-2 favour you before Vex's passive matters much: you have the stronger point-blank trade with E-Q and she can't yet punish your aggression, so contest the first waves and deny her free poke. Don't dash needlessly into her Doom mark.
