How to win lane as Neeko against Karma · 49.26% win rate over 1,963 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Karma | Level 1 favours Karma - her Mantra-Q poke out-ranges your single Q. |
| Level 2 | Karma | Level 2 stays Karma's as empowered Mantra-Q out-trades your kit. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out when your Q-plus-E answers her cooldown gaps. |
| Levels 4-5 | Karma | Levels 4-5 return to Karma on Mantra uptime and RQ zoning. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 is yours - Pop Blossom out-threatens her extra Mantra charge. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as her shield trades against your burst. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items are a skill fight - your R stun edges her flat poke. |
Levels 1-4 belong to Karma - her Mantra-empowered Q out-ranges and out-damages your single Blooming Burst, and the RQ root-slow makes every walk-up for a clone-engage dangerous. Farm safe, dodge her Q, and don't feed the poke war she's built to win.
