His hook has two targets and one is a lie — the clone taxes every line he draws.
Track: Rakan's W — Grand Entrance (14–10s cooldown). The leap knockup starts every play — track him in fog; the E extends it.
Read from Neeko's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Rakan.
This is Neeko's own plan; across 1,707 pooled games the lane is leaning Neeko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 favours you as your ranged Q-E poke beats a toolless Rakan. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 favours you: your AoE poke spike out-trades his melee assist range. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is skill as his W engage range starts to offset your poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay even with trades hinging on whether his W lands. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 favours you because R Pop Blossom beats his engage timing. |
| First item | Rakan | First item favours Rakan as completed mobility makes his W picks reliable. |
| Two+ items | Rakan | 2+ items favours Rakan whose engage-disengage dance out-scales your burst. |
Level 1-2 is yours: Neeko's Q and E poke a mobility support who has no way to trade back, so bully him off the wave and build an early health lead. His leap can carry him out of a root he sees coming, so aim through the wave and make the width do the work. Hold it for the moment he commits rather than while the dash is available, and use the clone to make him land on the wrong target.
