Passive, spells and ultimate
Neeko can look like an ally champion or as other units on the map. Receiving immobilizing crowd control, casting damaging spells, damaging enemy towers as a non-champion, or your disguise taking damage equal to its healthbar breaks the disguise.

Playing against Neeko
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Check for suspicious ally movements on the minimap — an ally behaving strangely might be a disguised Neeko.
Her R has a visible windup: dash or Flash out of the zone before the stun.
Neeko is squishy without her burst: if she misses her R, she has nothing impactful left.
Her E root is a linear skillshot — stay behind minions but not aligned with them (it passes through).
