How to win lane as Rell against Neeko · 53.85% win rate over 676 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko's level-1 Q poke and E tangle let her control the lane and punish steps. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | At level 2 her E root plus Q can out-trade your W-Q window. |
| Level 3 | Rell | Level 3 your bulk tanks her poke and you out-engage her downed tangle. |
| Levels 4-5 | Rell | Levels 4-5 she lacks hard disengage, so you punish every E cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Rell | At 6 your R out-ranges and out-reliables her channeled Pop Blossom. |
| First item | Rell | First item you soak her poke and land W-Q on her cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Rell | With items your guaranteed engage chains cleaner than her conditional R. |
Neeko controls the first two levels with Blooming Burst poke and her E tangle, a root that stops your W engage and sets up her ADC to burst you. Her passive disguise also lets her roam and bluff, so early you soak carefully, respect the E cooldown, and don't dash into her while tangle is up or you'll eat the follow-up.
