Neeko's abilities

Passive, spells and ultimate

Inherent Glamour (P)

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 as Lulu

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Cast E on your carry first

    Cast Help, Pix! (E) on your carry before they trade: they get a shield, and Pix fires along with each of their autos.

  2. Pix on the enemy, then your Q

    Send Pix onto an enemy with Help, Pix! (E), then cast Glitterlance (Q): Pix also fires one from where he is, right on the target.

  3. Polymorph the diving assassin

    Save Whimsy (W) for the assassin diving your carry: turned into a critter, they can't attack or cast spells.

  4. Grow the ally being focused

    Cast Wild Growth (R) on the ally being focused or going all-in: they gain a lot of health, and nearby enemies are knocked into the air, then slowed.

Playing against Neeko

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't line up with your minions

    Don't stand lined up behind your minions: Tangle-Barbs (E) passes through them, empowers itself on contact, and roots every enemy in its path.

  2. Leave her area at the first sign

    Leave her area as soon as she prepares Pop Blossom (R): the leap comes after a short preparation, hidden if she's disguised.

  3. Engage after her Pop Blossom

    If you can engage, do it once Pop Blossom (R) is used: it's her only area stun, on a 120 to 90 second cooldown.

  4. Spot her disguises

    Be wary of an enemy acting strangely: with Inherent Glamour (passive), Neeko can look like one of her allies or another unit.
