Gameplay style

Neeko is primarily played as a burst/catcher/mage/support, leveraging their ranged combat style to dominate in midlane and support. Since their release in Patch 8.24, players have come up with a bunch of different strategies and builds to maximize Neeko's potential.

As a magical-focused champion who uses Mana to cast their abilities, Neeko requires players to carefully manage their resources while positioning effectively to deal maximum damage. The champion's design makes them particularly effective against grouped enemies with AoE abilities and burst damage.

Neeko's story

Hailing from a long lost tribe of vastaya, Neeko can blend into any crowd by borrowing the appearances of others, even absorbing something of their emotional state to tell friend from foe in an instant. No one is ever sure where—or who—Neeko might be, but those who intend to do her harm will soon witness her true colors revealed, and feel the full power of her primordial spirit magic unleashed upon them.
