Leona vs Neeko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to deny Neeko's disguise and root angles for safer ADC access.
Coordinate engages only when ADC can follow immediately to punish Neeko's limited disengage.
Use river vision to track Neeko's roam timer and protect mid priority.

Trading pattern

Engage from brush with (E) root and layer (Q) stun only if ADC damage is ready.
Hold (W) for durability during Neeko's burst poke or root attempts to maintain engage safety.
Avoid engaging into large waves or without ADC follow-up to prevent being poked low before level 2.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root through minions, which enables her ADC to follow up safely.
(R) ultimate creates multi-target burst and CC; hold peel cooldowns to protect ADC.
Beware Neeko's disguise and clone (W) hiding her true position for surprise engages or roams.

Early game

Win level 2 race to enable (E)+(Q) all-in with ADC follow-up through thin waves.
Deny Neeko brush control to limit her root angles and disguise effectiveness.
Crash wave with ADC before roaming to avoid leaving ADC vulnerable to Neeko's poke and root.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E)+(Q) all-in combo; use it with ADC follow-up to force Neeko back.
Level 3 grants (W) durability; leverage this to sustain through Neeko's poke and secure trades.
Level 6 (R) enables long-range engage; combine with ADC burst and river vision for picks or dragon fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and level 2/3 spikes into decisive all-ins locking Neeko or her ADC for burst.
Use level 6 ultimate with ADC follow-up to start fights or secure dragon vision control.
Roam after wave crash with river vision to pressure mid and force Neeko to play defensively.
