How to win lane as Yone against Neeko · 51.06% win rate over 1,410 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is a skill check — her Blooming Burst poke trades roughly even with your Q and W shield. |
| Level 2 | Yone | Level 2 tilts to you as your dash lets you close on a Neeko with no escape once her E is spent. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens out again while her E root and Q burst are back up to punish your approach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Yone | Levels 4-5 favour you — your window-punish aggression beats her once her cooldowns are down. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it's a skill check: her Pop Blossom threatens a burst kill but is telegraphed and dodgeable. |
| First item | Yone | First item is yours as your DPS dives her squishy body the moment she blows her root. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Late you stay ahead — you hard-engage and delete a fragile mage whose only defence is a dodgeable root. |
Level 1 is a skill check as Neeko's Q poke trades against your Q pokes and W shield. From level 2 you tilt ahead — your dash closes on her and she has no reliable escape once E is down, so bully her the moment her root misses.
