Azir vs Neeko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable waves to safely farm and set soldier zones for poke and zone control.
Respect Neeko's disguise and root threat by maintaining spacing and holding (R) defensively.
Outscale Neeko by surviving early pressure and leveraging soldier DPS in teamfights.

Trading pattern

Place soldiers with (W) and poke with (Q) from a safe distance, avoiding aggressive (E) use.
Punish missed (E) or defensive (R) windows by stepping forward for short trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is ready and positioned well or when disguise obscures soldier placement.

Danger windows

Neeko is most dangerous when her (E) roots through minions and (R) is available for burst.
Avoid using (E) aggressively without (R) up, as escape options become limited.
Be cautious when (R) is down since Neeko's all-in threat and burst potential increase.

Early game

Avoid extended fights before soldiers threaten Neeko to prevent getting rooted by (E).
Use (Q) and (W) to poke while holding (E) and (R) for defensive repositioning.
Respect (E) through minions and her level 6 all-in threat with (R).

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) grants major safety and playmaking; use it to negate Neeko's all-in threat.
First mage DPS item significantly boosts soldier damage; increase pressure while tracking Neeko's counters.
Track Neeko's level 6 (R) and first AP item to anticipate and respect her burst windows.

Win conditions

Control soldier zones to poke and deny Neeko safe angles for (E) and (R) engages.
Use (R) to disengage or punish Neeko's overcommitments and prevent full combo executions.
Survive early pressure to outscale with superior soldier DPS and zone control in teamfights.

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