Read from Seraphine's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Seraphine's own plan; across 4,840 pooled games the lane is leaning Seraphine.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko wins level 1 as her bouncing Q out-damages your single-target poke. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Neeko leads level 2 where her Q-plus-E combo beats your lone Q trade. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Neeko holds level 3 because her E root sets up burst your kit can't yet answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By levels 4-5 it evens out as your mana scales and her E cooldown leaves gaps. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | At 6 Neeko spikes again with a disguisable Pop Blossom that out-threatens your Encore. |
| First item | Even / skill | At first item the lane evens as her single E cooldown gives you free poke windows. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | With 2+ items Seraphine outscales - reliable Encore and shields beat her telegraphed pick. |
Levels 1-3 favor Neeko: her bouncing Q melts you through the wave and her E root sets up a burst your single Q can't answer. Shove the wave, stand behind caster minions so her Q doesn't chain onto you, and hold empowered-E as your panic button. Don't trade into her Q-E window and watch for a disguised minion creeping up. Her root reaches past yours before the notes accumulate, so hold position and build off the wave instead. Shield your carry preemptively, hold your own root for the moment her tangle is spent, and let the ramp rather than an early trade be what turns the lane.
