How to win lane as Neeko against Dr. Mundo · 33.33% win rate over 9 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Level 1 you only have single-target Q but so does his farm-reliant start — your Blooming Burst out-pokes him before his cleaver-heal passive stacks. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | His Q (Infected Cleaver) percent-HP poke and self-heal start to match your seed poke — it edges back toward even as he ramps. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | His cleaver now out-trades your Q re-bloom and self-heals the chip, and you can't safely throw E to root him — he owns the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | You farm but can't all-in without ult while his passive heals every cleaver — he grinds the lane and stays healthy. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Pop Blossom plus a landed E is a real kill threat, but only if his R is down — track Maximum Dosage and it's a genuine coinflip window. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | His early HP and Bramble Vest plus passive regen eat your Liandry's poke faster than you re-bloom — his hardest owning spike. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | He out-scales into an unkillable drain-tank, but you become a teamfight Pop Blossom bomb on his backline — it evens out off the 1v1. |
Level 1 is your only clean poke window — your single-target Q (Blooming Burst) chunks him before his passive starts healing off minion kills, so land it and back off. The moment he gets a couple of points in his cleaver, his Q (Infected Cleaver) percent-HP pokes you for more than you return and self-heals, and he has the HP pool to ignore your seed. Do not throw E (Tangle-Barbs) as a poke here — whiff it and you're naked in cleaver range with no escape. Last-hit at max Q range and respect that he wants this lane to go long.
