Renekton vs Neeko

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure and fury management to deny Neeko safe scaling and control wave tempo.
Prioritize aggressive short trades and resets to prevent Neeko from leveraging her disguise and root setups.
This matchup favors snowballing through lane dominance rather than scaling or roaming.

Trading pattern

Trade aggressively when fury is high and (W) is empowered, using (E) to engage and disengage safely.
Punish Neeko immediately after she misses (E) or uses (R) to reduce her burst threat.
Avoid extended fights if both (E) casts are spent or if Neeko’s (R) is available, as she can punish prolonged trades.

Danger windows

Beware when Neeko’s (E) is off cooldown and can root through minions, limiting your dash options.
Respect Neeko’s (R) availability as it provides a knock-up and shield, making her all-in threat high.
Avoid trading or engaging when fury is low or after using both (E) casts forward without a safe exit.

Early game

Push early waves to force Neeko to farm under pressure and limit her angles for (E).
At level 3, engage with full combo using (E) plus empowered (W) and exit with second (E) to avoid root counters.
Track (R) cooldown to avoid all-in windows and prepare for counter-engage.

Power spikes

At level 3, use full combo with (E), empowered (W), and (Q) to maximize burst and force Neeko back.
At level 6, activate (R) to increase durability and convert short trades into all-ins or dives.
Respect Neeko’s level 6 (R) as it enables her to threaten multi-target burst and crowd control; avoid overextending.

Win conditions

Snowball by using high-fury empowered trades to chip Neeko early and deny her scaling.
Control wave tempo to prevent Neeko from setting up (E) angles and disguise plays.
Use level 6 (R) to force decisive fights when Neeko is low or trapped under wave pressure, securing lane dominance.
