Bard into Neekomedium

Overview

Deny Neeko's root angles by controlling brush to threaten wall stuns and limit her engage access.
Prioritize roaming after crashing waves using paths to pressure mid and secure river vision.
Protect your ADC from root and all-in with timely heals and disengage.

Trading pattern

Look for stuns from brush with ADC follow-up to punish Neeko's engage attempts.
Hold to isolate Neeko or stall her all-in threat, enabling safer ADC positioning.
Use meep autos to poke and force Neeko to miss roots or bursts, reducing enemy pressure.

Danger windows

Respect root angles through minions that enable her ADC's burst damage and engage.
Beware knock-up and shield during all-ins; hold to counter or stall enemy engages.
Watch for Neeko's disguise and clone in brush to avoid surprise engages and preserve your ADC's safety.

Early game

Win the level 2 race with coordinated + trades to secure lane priority and ADC safety.
Deny Neeko brush access to reduce her disguise and root angles, limiting her pick potential.
Crash the wave safely before roaming on paths to avoid leaving your ADC vulnerable to Neeko's all-ins.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks + for strong poke and peel; use this to control lane space and protect your ADC.
Level 3 grants roam paths; roam after wave crash to impact mid and secure vision advantages.
Level 6 enables picks or disengage; coordinate with your ADC for follow-up or peel to shift fights.

Win conditions

Convert brush stuns and picks into denying enemy ADC positioning and objective control.
Roam after wave crashes to pressure mid, secure river vision, and set up dragon objectives.
Use shrines to keep your ADC healthy during extended fights and disengage windows for sustained lane presence.
