Read from Warwick's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Warwick's own plan; across 260 pooled games the lane is leaning Warwick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even — you want melee range on a squishy poke mage, but with one ability and no Blood Hunt she can hold you off the wave. |
| Level 2 | Neeko | Level 2 is yours as your early trade pattern beats her weak double-Q poke. |
| Level 3 | Neeko | Level 3 favours you: Jaws' lunge and sustain overwhelm her 800-range poke. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even because a landed Tangle-Barbs root plus Blooming Burst can swing a trade her way. |
| Level 6 | Neeko | Level 6 is yours if you suppress her before Pop Blossom's wind-up resolves. |
| First item | Neeko | First item favours you as your sustain beats her poke and speed nullifies her clone tricks. |
| Two+ items | Neeko | Two-plus items stays yours because Neeko builds no durability and your burst reaches and deletes her. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — Neeko is a squishy mage who wants to poke, so walk her down with Q, sustain her Blooming Burst, and mark her with Blood Hunt when she's low.

Warwick takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Second Wind and Bone Plating) vs Neeko.
Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs her poke) and back for Core component + boots (≈1300g). Build Blade of the Ruined King (%HP + sustain engine) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Mercury's Treads.
