| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1-2 is even and skill-based before Neeko's poke pattern comes online. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | At level 3 Neeko's bouncing Q and E root let her outpoke and outtrade you. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Levels 4-5 she keeps zoning you with ranged Q and root threat you can't answer. |
| Levels 4-5 | Neeko | Her level 6 Pop Blossom plus root is a burst combo that punishes any careless dive. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | At first item Neeko's magic burst still outranges your engage tools. |
| First item | Neeko | With two-plus items your bruiser durability and R let you eat her combo and kill her. |
| Two+ items | Volibear | Late game a fed Volibear diver walks down a squishy mid-game caster once her E is dodged. |
Levels 1-2 are a skill wash — Neeko's Q can poke but she's low-range and you can contest CS. Set up your shove and be ready to dodge her first Tangle-Barbs.
