Playing as Neeko

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Empower your tangle on a minion

    Cast Tangle-Barbs (E) through a minion before your target: once empowered, it grows larger, moves faster and roots for longer.

  2. Seed after the root

    After the Tangle-Barbs (E) root, cast Blooming Burst (Q) on your target: on a champion, the seed blooms up to two more times.

  3. Approach disguised, then leap

    Approach disguised with Inherent Glamour (passive), then cast Pop Blossom (R) in the middle of them: in disguise, the leap's preparation stays hidden.

  4. Fake them out with your clone

    Cast Shapesplitter (W) to escape or to fake them out: you turn invisible for a moment and your clone goes its own way, mirroring your spells.

Playing against Janna

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't trade into her shield

    Avoid trading while her ally has Eye Of The Storm (E): the shield absorbs your damage and gives them AD.

  2. Engage twice

    Bait out Howling Gale (Q) or Monsoon (R) with a first engage, then re-engage right away: one has a 14-second cooldown, the other 130 to 100 seconds.

  3. Cancel her Monsoon heal

    If you have CC, save it for Monsoon (R): after the knockback, she heals her allies as long as she stands still, and interrupting her cancels the heal.
