Neeko Tips and Tricks
- Use Inherent Glamour to transform into an allied champion. This can create confusion and mislead enemies. Use it to bait skill shots or disguise your movements.
- You can disguise into a jungle camp using Inherent Glamour, which allows you to catch the enemy jungler off-guard during an invade.
- Use Inherent Glamour to disguise as a minion and walk along a minion wave, this will result in incredibly successful lane ganks that work even in high ranks since nobody really counts amount of minions entering a lane.
- Neeko's Tangle-Barbs and Blooming Burst combo will root the enemy in place and deal significant amounts of damage, it can then be followed up with a cast of Pop Blossom for even more CC and oneshot capabilities.
- Pop Blossom is a powerful AoE crowd control ability, but it requires good positioning and timing. Try to use it from stealth or in combination with your passive to catch enemies off guard.
- Use your Tangle-Barbs and Pop Blossom defensively to protect your carries. The root and stun can prevent assassins or divers from reaching your backline.
- Your Shapesplitter clone can be used to scout bushes and provide vision as well as bait enemies. You can even use it in order to go invisible and try to steal a jungle objective with smite.

Neeko Jungle Pathing Guide
Jungle Pathing represents the choices jungle players make in regards to when and where to gank, invade or just path towards. It includes how camps and buffs are cleared between ganks, anticipating counterganks, and spotting opportunities for invading. Effective pathing requires deep understanding of your champion's abilities, their interactions, and how both team compositions play into those choices.
Full clear with a Blue Buff start
The recommended jungle path for Neeko starts at Blue Sentinel with Shapesplitter for empowered auto attacks. At level two, unlock Blooming Burst for AoE damage and clear Gromp, with Wolves next. At level three, upgrade Blooming Burst to speed up the Red side clears or unlock Tangle-Barbs if you plan on going for a gank instead. Finish Raptors, Red Brambleback, and Krugs to reach level four, then unlock Tangle-Barbs if you havent, since it's Neeko's crowd control spell that's very useful for Scuttler fights.
An alternative opener is Red → Krugs → Raptors → Wolves → Gromp → Blue. This path provides earlier Red Buff uptime for pressure on level three ganks or invades but is only worth it if you are pathing into bottom lane.
Neeko's early aggression is solid once she has Tangle-Barbs at level four. Look for mid or bot lane ganks, as her root sets up a guaranteed first blood if you gank the lane via minion transformation.
