Neeko players out there, the time has come to take a look at what the best Neeko build we can at the moment. She is an incredibly fun-to-play unit, and when going to a game with Neeko mid, you have to know that not so often builds vary greatly, which means this is an excellent starting point so you can take advantage of her ability power in your League of Legends games.

Best Neeko build

Neeko mid is the way to play this champion according to Riot Games. The magic damage she deals is awesome, and every Neeko player must know that she has a very strong early game thanks to her high ability power that will keep your enemies at bay in League of Legends. Let's go over this Neeko build, which has everything you need to know to deal damage, use the right skill order, have the best runes, and much more in this patch 12.17.

Best Neeko runes

Her best runes in this Neeko build are found in the "Domination" and "Sorcery" rune trees. For the Domination runes, you will use Electrocute as the keystone, with "Taste of Blood", "Eyeball collection", and "Ingenious Hunter" for the rest of the rune set.

Best Rune Path	Domination	Sorcery
Best Keystone	Electrocute
Best Slot 1 (Rune)	Sudden Impact	Manaflow Band
Best Slot 2 (Rune)	Eyeball Collection
Best Slot 3 (Rune)	Ultimate Hunter	Scorch

Your second rune set will consist of "Manaflow Band" to sustain your mana in the laning phase, and "Scorch" to maximize your poking damage with "Blooming Burst" in League of Legends.

Best Neeko Rune Shards

For her Rune Shards, use Attack Speed in the "Offense" socket to increase the speed of your auto attacks.

Best Rune Shards	Effect
Offense	+10% Attack Speed
Flex	+9 Adaptive Force
Defense	+8 Magic Resist

Moreover, choose Adaptive Force in "Flex", and because Riot Games made her quite squishy, equip at last Magic resistance on her "Defense" socket to survive against any enemy champion with high ability power.

Best Neeko Spells

Her best summoner spells are "Flash" and "Ignite", which fit well her aggressive playstyle intended by Riot Games in League of Legends

Ignite

"Flash" will allow her to find a way out of tough moments and team fights, while "Ignite" gives you that extra damage to take the kill after a hardcore trade.

Best Neeko Abilities Order

For her skill order, you are going to level up first "Blooming Burst", which is the main source of damage of the Curious Chameleon, after that one focus on "Tangle Barbs", to have more ways to poke enemy champions with your ability power and even 'Root' them.

Maximize "Shapeshifter" at last, since this skill is mainly to confuse your enemy champion, you should leave it for the end. And as we always mention here, you should invest points in your ultimate as soon as you can.

Best Neeko Items

For this Neekoo build in League of Legends, we're going to focus on her ability power because she has the means to take kills or literally jump in a team fight with her ultimate, dealing massive damage, the items mentioned here don't really vary from other Neeko guides.

Best Starter Neeko Items

First, start with a "Doran's Ring", two "Health Potions", and your good old "Stealth Ward". The first item is an excellent complement for the rune "Manaflow Band" due to Neeko's mana requirements.

First Item	Second Item	Third Item	Fourth Item
Doran’s Ring	Health Potion	Health Potion	Stealth Ward

Best Mid Game Neeko Items

These choices are crucial in her item build when you reach the mid game. These go great with your runes since the Mythic Item will help you deal quick successions of damage in this patch.

First Item	Second Item	Third Item
Everfrost	Sorcerer’s Shoes	Zhonya’s Hourglass

On the other hand, "Sorcerer's shoes" and "Zhonya's Hourglass" will help you move faster and increase your survivability accordingly.

Best Final Late Game Neeko Items

This section is where things could vary the most in this Neeko build, the items here are excellent for her. But if needed, can be replaced for others like "Void Staff" or "Rabadon's Deathcap" in case you need more raw AP.

First Item	Second Item	Third Item	Fourth Item	Fifth Item	Sixth Item
Everfrost	Sorcerer’s Shoes	Zhonya’s Hourglass	Shadowflame	Morellonomicon	Rabadon’s Deathcap

"Void Staff" is great against tanks, so you might want to use it and hit "Tangle Barbs" followed up by "Pop Blossom" to help take one down quickly in this patch.

Best Champions to Pair Neeko With

Master Yi and Vi are excellent champion picks for Neeko since she can isolate an enemy for the jungler to take the kill.

Champion	Win Rate %	Icon
Master Yi	57.%
Vi	55.5%
Amumu	54.9%

Moreover, Amumu is a fun-to-play champion along with Neeko when you combine both of their ultimates, that way Neeko can stack "Eyeball Collection" or "Ultimate Hunter".

Strongest Champions Against Neeko

These are champions who have high mobility and damage, and it's not like Neeko doesn't, but their abilities simply counter hers immensely in League of Legends.

Weakest Champions Against Neeko

But when it comes to Akali, Varus, and Akshan, Neeko can humiliate them and make them stay behind in the entire game, especially Akali, who's such a powerful champion in the right hands.

Champion	Win Rate %	Icon
Akali	56.9%
Varus	56.8%
