You own levels 1-2: Neeko has no reliable early lockdown, relying on W (Shapesplitter) auto-poke and farm, so your Q hook and E-slow let you and your ADC pressure her off the wave. Ward the bushes and watch for her disguising as a minion, then look to hook her directly since she's squishy with no dash out. Her root reaches past your hook, so charge from cover where the wind-up is hidden. Hold the dash-stun for the moment her tangle is already spent, and let the grey health carry you through the poke rather than backing off and giving up the angle you wanted.
