Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 324 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Neeko | Neeko's Blooming Burst (Q) reaches further than your auto at level 1 and she can freely poke before Blinding Dart exists to answer it. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | Blinding Dart comes online — her auto-trade threat is nullified and Tangle-Barbs is 12s at rank 1, so one dodged root buys you a full poke rotation. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit running: E poison stacks compound with Blinding Dart, and you can zone her off CS by threatening the trade pattern she cannot safely answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Max-rank Blinding Dart and tri-brush mushrooms let you deny her approach angles — she cannot root you from brush without walking over a shroom first. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Pop Blossom's wind-up reads clearly only while she is undisguised — Inherent Glamour hides it, so treat any odd-looking ally unit as a live ultimate. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's DoT on top of E poison and mushrooms turns a Tangle-Barbs root into a death sentence — she cannot stand still under a shroom stack. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late game her Pop Blossom teamfight scales to match your zone control; neither champion has a clear edge in a full macro skirmish — keep splitting. |
At level 1 Neeko's Blooming Burst out-ranges your auto, so do not step up to poke at level 1 — farm with the tip of your auto and accept that she dictates spacing until you hit level 2. She will attempt to Q-poke and walk back into the brush to reset, so pre-place one mushroom at the tribush entrance before she reaches level 2 to burn a movement speed item or slow her retreat. The moment Blinding Dart comes online at level 2, the dynamic shifts: she cannot safely auto-trade into a blinded state, and her Tangle-Barbs (E) is the only threat left — dodge it by side-stepping toward the wall when she angles into brush.
