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 Milio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his fireball

    Dodge Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q): it knocks you back, then explodes behind you and slows you.

  2. Back off when the campfire's up

    Back off when Cozy Campfire (W) follows his carry: they gain attack range and restore health over time.

  3. Save a CC for after his R

    If your team has several CC spells, save one for after Breath of Life (R): it cleanses disabling and immobilizing CC from his nearby allies.

  4. Go for Milio first

    If you can reach him, go for Milio first, especially away from his allies: he has no dash or leap, and without him, his carry loses shields, heals and range.
