Neeko Champion Abilities

Inherent Glamour

Neeko can disguise herself as other units on the map. At any time she can disguise herself as an allied champion, or Neeko can stand next to any allied or neutral unit to store their Sho'ma and be able to transform into it. Your disguise will break upon receiving immobilizing crowd control, casting a damaging spell, damaging enemy towers as a non-champion, or your disguise taking damage equal to its healthbar.

Neeko gains many of the properties of the units she turns into, negative and positive. P

Blooming Burst

Neeko throws a seed that blooms to deal 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+50% of ability power) magic damage. If it kills a unit or hits a champion or large monster, it will bloom again, dealing 35 / 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 (+25% of ability power) magic damage, with a maximum 2 extra blooms. Q

Shapesplitter

Passive: Every 3rd attack deals an additional 40 / 75 / 110 / 145 / 180 (+60% of ability power) bonus magic damage and increases Neeko's movement speed by 10 / 17.5 / 25 / 32.5 / 40% for 1 second.

Active: Neeko becomes invisible for 0.5 seconds and projects a clone that lasts 3 seconds. Neeko and the clone gain 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% movement speed for 3 seconds.

The clone can be controlled by recasting this ability. The clone mirrors her spellcasts, emotes, and recall. W

Tangle-Barbs

Neeko slings a tangle that deals 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+65% of ability power) magic damage and roots for 0.7 / 0.9 / 1.1 / 1.3 / 1.5 seconds.

The tangle becomes empowered after hitting an enemy, growing larger, moving faster, and rooting for 1.8 / 2.1 / 2.4 / 2.7 / 3 seconds. E

Pop Blossom

After a delay Neeko leaps into the air, knocking up all nearby enemies for 0.6 seconds. She then crashes down, dealing 150 / 350 / 550 (+120% of ability power) magic damage to all nearby enemies and stunning them for 0.75 seconds.

This ability can be prepared in secret if Neeko is disguised. R

Neeko Tips and Tricks

Avoid transforming into another champion if the enemy has already spotted you. It may seem obvious, but many players change forms even when it’s clear that it’s Neeko. Use the speed boost from your W to reposition in fights and find the best angle for your R. When using your E, try to line it up so it passes through as many minions as possible. The more minions it travels through, the longer the root duration will be if it hits an enemy champion.
