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.

The passive (Inherent Glamour) disguises you as an ally — use it to approach enemies and surprise R.
R (Pop Blossom) is a massive AoE stun — Flash + R into the middle of the enemy team for a devastating engage.
E (Tangle-Barbs) roots longer when it passes through more targets — cast it through minions for an extended root.
Q (Blooming Burst) reblooms on CC'd targets — combo E root → Q for the guaranteed triple bloom.

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).
