Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Fiora | She has no early answer to your walk-up — Q her Vital and bully her, holding Riposte for her Tangle-Barbs root. |
| Level 2 | Fiora | With Vital chip plus the threat of Riposte you out-trade her Blooming Burst poke; bait the E root and the parry turns it into a stun. |
| Level 3 | Fiora | Bladework's guaranteed crit lands a full Vital combo she can't peel off, and her only lane CC is a single rootable Tangle-Barbs. |
| Levels 4-5 | Fiora | Your chained Lunges off Vital resets out-pace her Blooming Burst-and-clone poke — engage the instant her Tangle-Barbs is down. |
| Level 6 | Fiora | Grand Challenge plus the heal zone wins the all-in; Pop Blossom's airborne leap-and-slam telegraphs too slowly to catch you in a duel. |
| First item | Fiora | Ravenous Hydra and your Vital-reset Q-chain shove her off the wave — your splitpush pressure outscales her nonexistent waveclear. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Past two items it comes down to your discipline — win the sidelane fast and never facecheck her in fog, or her clone-disguise picks and R engages flip the game. |
Neeko has no way to stop you walking her down at level 1 — Q onto her marked Vital, take the chip, and threaten the all-in. Her whole defense is Tangle-Barbs (E), the root that snakes out and bounces off the first target, so hold your Riposte (W) for it: parry the root and the return becomes a stun, and Neeko has zero dash or escape to answer it. Don't throw W early or eat Blooming Burst poke for free — bait the E, block it, then lunge in for a guaranteed-crit Bladework trade she can't win.
