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 Yuumi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.

  2. CC her as soon as she detaches

    If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.

  3. Focus the champion carrying her

    Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.

  4. Cut her healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
