Read from Braum's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko's free AoE Q and W out-poke you at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | At 2 her Q root plus W burst keep the poke war hers. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | At 3 her range and root threat still out-trade your walk-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Even at 4: your Unbreakable can block her Q, leveling the lane. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | At 5 her Pop Blossom and disguise engage tilt trades back to her. |
| First item | Braum | With your first item Concussive Blows punish her over-commits. |
| Two+ items | Braum | Late, your tankiness and peel absorb her poke and disrupt her ult. |
Neeko out-pokes you at levels 1-3 with free AoE Tangle-Barbs and Blooming Burst plus her Q root threat, so respect her range, walk through minions, and don't feed her a straight-line root. Free area poke plus a root means she wins any early exchange you start, so keep the shield up and stop looking for one. Your carry farms in your shadow. Once the tangle is gone, mark her and let your ADC land the last hits of the stack.
