Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1SingedSinged runs past her at level 1 and she has no dash or instant-engage to punish — Poison Trail ticks for free every time she steps toward CS.
Level 2SingedFling online at level 2 means she cannot casually walk up behind you; Neeko has no reliable escape from a well-placed Fling before Tangle-Barbs comes out.
Level 3Even / skillHer Tangle-Barbs root is online and changes the equation — if she lands it you are stuck eating full Blooming Burst burst with no run option; a genuine skill-shot check.
Levels 4-5SingedProxy starts here: Neeko has no mobility to follow you behind the wave and her Tangle-Barbs must be thrown blind through minions, making your run-past nearly unpunishable.
Level 6NeekoPop Blossom is online — Neeko's channel stun can catch your full commit if you run straight at her; respect the channel and bait the cast before re-engaging.
First itemSingedRylai's slow on Poison Trail means Neeko walks into the cloud and stays there — her squishy base stats cannot outlast the attrition, and Fling sends her deeper in.
Two+ itemsSingedTwo items means a full Mega Adhesive root into Fling drops a squishy, dash-less mage directly into maximum cloud density — she cannot survive the rotation.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Neeko wants to spam Blooming Burst Q at you from range and bait a Fling with her W clone — never commit the E to a decoy. Early levels you actually have the edge: Neeko is melee-range dependent for real damage, and you can run past her to stack Poison Trail without giving her a clean Tangle-Barbs angle. Set the lane up by hugging the poison cloud near the wave; if she steps forward to CS she eats ticks, if she hangs back she gives you the run pattern for free. The only real danger is a surprise Tangle-Barbs root into full Q burst — keep moving so her root has to be a skillshot through your moving body, not a stationary target.
