Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Dr. Mundo's own plan; across 652 pooled games the lane is Dr. Mundo-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko's E root and Q poke chip you at level 1 with no counterplay from your health-cost Q. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At level 2 her Q waveclear and poke keep her firmly ahead in the trade. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 she still out-pokes you before your HP scaling kicks in. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | By level 4 your growing HP pool absorbs her AP poke and tips the lane to you. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Her level-6 Pop Blossom stun-burst plus a gank can delete you, swinging 6 back to Neeko. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | After first item you shrug off her poke and a solo R, putting you clearly ahead. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late, your W-E-Q and R chase run down a squishy, escape-less Neeko — firmly your favor. |
Neeko controls levels 1-3: Tangle-Barbs (E) roots and Blooming Burst (Q) let her poke and shove while you have no way to punish, and your Q sustain barely offsets the AP chip she stacks on you.
