She out-pokes the fire — shield the chip, hold the zone, and cleanse the all-in her mana funds.
Track: Neeko's E — Tangle-Barbs (12–10s cooldown). The root sets up her whole burst — sidestep it behind minions.
Read from Milio's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Milio's own plan; across 2,741 pooled games the lane is leaning Milio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko wins level 1 with E root and Q poke that outrange your melee Q. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | At level 2 her root-into-poke all-in plus disguise beats your shorter trade range. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 stays Neeko's as her burst and surprise-engage threat keep you pinned back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 read even once your shields start absorbing her poke and burst. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 is hers: Pop Blossom off an E root can one-combo your carry through your ult. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill as your heals offset her poke and her threat hinges on landing E. |
| Two+ items | Milio | At 2+ items you win: global cleanse and W zone outscale her single AoE ult in fights. |
Levels 1-3 are Neeko's: her E root and Q poke outrange your kick, and her passive disguise means she can walk up looking like a minion to land a free root into her ADC's follow-up. Respect the level-2 all-in, hug your minions, and only trade once you've dodged her E; a landed root here loses you the exchange every time. Her root and her poke both reach past your kick, so stop contesting and heal through the chip. Keep the campfire behind your own line, hold the kick for the moment her tangle is spent, and shield your carry before her rotation rather than in the middle of it.
