Zed vs Neeko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-mobility assassin aiming to burst Neeko before she can use her root and ultimate.
Use lane pressure to deny Neeko safe scaling and prevent her from setting up E angles or disguise plays.

Trading pattern

Use W + E combo for guaranteed damage and follow with Q poke before committing to all-in with R.
Punish Neeko if she misses Neeko E root by engaging quickly with W + E + Q.
Respect Neeko R and root threat by dodging Neeko Q and avoiding trades when her R is up.

Danger windows

Neeko is dangerous when Neeko E can root through minions and Neeko R is available for burst and crowd control.
Avoid engaging if W + E + Q combo misses, as Zed is vulnerable to counterattack.
Respect Neeko's disguise and clone (Neeko W and passive) which can hide her true position and setup all-ins.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 when Zed is vulnerable to Neeko's poke and root.
Use early wave pressure to force Neeko to farm under tower and limit her E angles.
Track Neeko's disguise and clone to avoid getting caught by surprise root or burst.

Power spikes

Zed's major spikes: level 3 for W-E-Q combo and level 6 for R all-in.
Neeko's major spikes: level 6 Neeko R ultimate and first completed AP item.
First lethality item completion boosts Zed's burst, increasing kill pressure on Neeko.

Win conditions

Use level 3 power spike to pressure Neeko and deny her lane control.
All-in with R after landing W + E + Q combo to burst Neeko before she can react.
Keep Neeko from safely using E and R by dodging Neeko Q and punishing cooldowns to snowball lane advantage.

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