Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1NeekoHer Blooming Burst pokes you for free and her Tangle-Barbs root threatens death while you have one ability and no gap-close.
Level 2Even / skillYou get your Q true-damage recast but her root still punishes any over-step, so the trade is even only if you respect it.
Level 3Even / skillWith Q and a point in E you can answer her poke, but only if you dodge Tangle-Barbs first, so clean dodging decides it.
Levels 4-5Even / skillYou out-trade her in a short window, yet she can bait your E with the Shapesplitter clone and root you, keeping it a coin-flip.
Level 6CamilleHextech Ultimatum isolates the real Neeko from her clone and escape, and Q-recast plus W's max-HP slash delete her squishy frame.
First itemCamilleYour first-item dive tempo peaks: whenever her root is down you E off a wall and R for the kill before she scales.
Two+ itemsNeekoHer root and Pop Blossom AOE stun scale into team utility that chains and deletes you the moment you mis-dodge a dive.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Neeko's Blooming Burst poke and the threat of her Tangle-Barbs root own Level 1, when you have only one ability and no all-in. Do not walk up for a Q trade in a static lane where her E can root you in place for free poke. Last-hit at range, respect that eating her root with your E down is a death sentence, and watch for the Shapesplitter clone walking at you to bait a cooldown. Once you have your Q true-damage recast and a point in E at 2-3, you can answer her — but only if you dodge the root and stick.
