How to win lane as Kled against Neeko · 50% win rate over 140 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | She pokes you with Q while you have no spammable answer — preserve Skaarl's health and last-hit at range instead of trading. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Your W shotgun shots come online and a squishy Neeko has no remount sustain to survive your level-2 burst. |
| Level 3 | Kled | The full E-W-E re-E combo lands before she can E-root and kite away — one all-in halves a squishy mage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | You out-trade her Q poke with percent-HP Q and remount sustain, but her E root can still punish a sloppy dash, so it's a skill lane. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Her R can interrupt your charge and your dash, but if you bait it first your all-in still wins — the cooldown decides each fight. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your Eclipse/Sheen-Q spike deletes her squishy HP bar, but a held R or E root flips it, so respect her cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | She out-scales hard: full-AP Neeko roots you from range and bursts you before Skaarl remounts — play for picks, not duels. |
Level 1 she pokes you with Q while you have nothing to answer it, so keep Skaarl's health and just farm — this is your weak window. The lane flips at 2 and 3: once your W shotgun shots and the E-W-E re-E combo are online, you out-all-in a squishy mage hard. The one thing that ruins it is her E root — if she lands it mid-dash you're stuck out of position and her Q chips you for free, so feint your engage to bait the root before you fully commit.
