| 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.
