Neeko vs Zed

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko must pressure early to exploit Zed's weak level 1-3 and deny his all-in setup.
Use disguise and minion angles to create uncertainty and force Zed into defensive play.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions, then follow with Q for burst before Zed can retaliate.
Respect Zed's W+E combo and dodge Zed Q to reduce his damage output.
Hold R threat to zone Zed or force him to play cautiously post-level 6.

Danger windows

Zed's full W+E+Q combo and Zed R create lethal all-in windows.
Avoid extended trades when E is on cooldown or missed, as Zed can punish hard.
When disguise and W clone are tracked, Neeko's engage becomes easier to counter.

Early game

Punish Zed's vulnerability pre-level 3 with E through minions followed by Q burst.
Avoid extended trades if E misses to prevent Zed's counter-engage with W+E.
Use W and passive disguise to bait Zed's W and dodge his Q.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R unlock is a major all-in and teamfight threat.
First completed AP burst item significantly increases Neeko's kill pressure.
Respect Zed's level 3 W-E-Q combo and level 6 R for lethal all-ins.

Win conditions

Use disguise and E angles to create picks and force Zed out of lane control.
Deny Zed scaling by punishing early with E-root combos and burst trades.
Leverage R in teamfights to control grouped enemies and secure kills or objectives.

Tip: For Neeko vs Zed, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
