How to win lane as Mordekaiser against Neeko · 55.3% win rate over 16 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | You only have Q with no aura yet, and her Blooming Burst out-ranges your cone — last-hit and concede the level. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Q plus a W shield gives you a trade her single Blooming Burst poke can't sustain — step up and bully once your aura threatens. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | With E online you pull her out of minions into the Q sweetspot and Darkness Rise — one combo halves a squishy mage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mordekaiser | Darkness Rise in extended trades out-DPSes her, and she has no escape once her E root is down. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death isolates a squishy, clone-less Neeko 1v1 — a near-guaranteed kill that flips any close lane. |
| First item | Mordekaiser | Your magic-pen first item plus W sustain makes the all-in lethal while her Blooming Burst chip heals off your shield. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | She out-scales the duel as a teamfight pick mage — her Pop Blossom stun and clone fakes beat you in groups, so save R to delete her. |
"Level 1 is hers — you only have Q with no aura yet, and she'll chunk you with Blooming Burst from outside your cone, so just farm the wave and don't chase. The moment you hit 2-3 with Q+W+E this flips: she's a squishy stand-still caster whose only defensive tool is her E root. Bait that root, then E-pull her into the wave, land the Q sweetspot for the single-target bonus, and let Darkness Rise tick — her poke can't out-damage your W heal in a real trade."
