How to beat Seraphine as Neeko: the early game

Level 1-3 is yours: Neeko's Q-E burst out-trades a single Seraphine Q and she has no mobility, so punish every poke step and threaten the all-in on your spike. Her poke reaches further but she cannot leave once your root lands, so hold position and wait for the step-up. Aim through the wave for the extra width, and use the clone to make her cast into a target that costs her the mana without the payoff.
