| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 favours Neeko — her root threat and burst setup beat your opener. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 stays hers; Tangle-Barbs into Blooming Burst punishes step-ups. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 remains Neeko's with her full combo and roam pressure online. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 still favour her as she can shove and roam or set up ganks. |
| Level 6 | Vladimir | At 5's item/level spike your sustain overtakes her poke and flips it. |
| First item | Vladimir | First item lets you pool Pop Blossom and walk her down after her burst. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | At 2+ items your sustained AoE outscales her single-rotation profile. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Neeko — her Tangle-Barbs root opens a full Blooming Burst combo and she shoves to roam, so farm inside minions, save pool to break the root, and ward for her roam when the wave pushes.
