Twisted Fate vs Neeko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Twisted Fate should control the wave and hold Gold Card threat to create pick opportunities and pressure side lanes with R.
Manage lane to deny Neeko's high lane pressure and avoid letting her use minion lines to angle Neeko E effectively.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using Gold Card when Neeko's E is on cooldown or missed.
Use Q poke and autos to pressure Neeko but avoid committing if Neeko can angle E through minions.
Prioritize wave control over risky all-ins; punish Neeko when her R is down or disguise is tracked.

Danger windows

Neeko's E through minions and R combo creates lethal all-in windows; avoid extended trades then.
Neeko's disguise and W clone create uncertainty; keep Gold Card ready to punish oversteps.
Roaming without wave priority or Gold Card ready exposes Twisted Fate to counter-engage or losing lane control.

Early game

Use Q to clear waves and keep the lane controlled before level 6 to enable safe roams.
Avoid extended trades without Gold Card ready as Neeko's E root and burst combo is dangerous early.
Respect Neeko's disguise and clone to avoid getting caught off guard in early skirmishes.

Power spikes

Twisted Fate's major spike is level 6 with R for map pressure and picks.
Neeko's major spike is level 6 with R for all-in and teamfight threat; respect this power window.
First completed AP or utility item boosts Twisted Fate's pick and wave control potential.

Win conditions

Win by controlling the wave and threatening Gold Card picks to force Neeko to play cautiously.
Use R to create side-lane numbers advantage and punish Neeko's weaker roam impact.
Capitalize on Neeko missing E or R cooldowns to trade aggressively and deny her lane pressure.
