How to win lane as Viktor against Neeko · 50.85% win rate over 2,004 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 is Neeko's because Blooming Burst out-clears and out-pokes your rangeless start. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as your second point and approaching Death Ray unlock close the gap. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even once Death Ray gives you range to trade and clear back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Viktor | Levels 4-5 favour Viktor as your superior range and shove take priority and deny her roams. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 returns to even because Pop Blossom's delayed AOE stun can chunk you off a landed root. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even, with her roam threat balanced by your evolved-E priority to match her. |
| Two+ items | Viktor | Two-plus items go to Viktor as sustained DPS and Gravity Field beat her single burst combo. |
Level 1 is Neeko's: Blooming Burst gives her better waveclear and poke than your rangeless start, so play back and farm safe. From level 2-3 the lane evens as your Death Ray comes online. Always respect Tangle-Barbs — never line up behind a minion where a travelling root chains into her damage.
