Hwei vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Hwei is a high-agency artillery mage who must control space with long-range poke and selective E CC to prevent Neeko's all-ins.
Pressure Neeko early to deny her disguise and minion-empowered E angles that enable her burst and picks.

Trading pattern

Trade by landing E root or fear and follow up with Q poke to punish Neeko's skillshot reliance.
Dodge Neeko E to reduce her root threat and punish her cooldown window.
Hold defensive E spellbook options to disrupt Neeko's engage attempts with Neeko R knock-up.

Danger windows

Danger peaks when Neeko's Neeko E root and Neeko R knock-up are up and can combo for burst.
Avoid extended trades when Neeko's R is available and disguise is active.
Be cautious if E spellbook CC is misused, as it leaves you vulnerable to Neeko's fast all-ins.

Early game

Use Q poke and E CC to control the wave and punish Neeko if she mispositions her E.
Avoid committing without E root or fear ready to counter Neeko's Neeko E root and Neeko R all-in threat.
Maintain lane pressure but respect Neeko's disguise and clone to avoid surprise engages.

Power spikes

Major spikes: Level 3 for full spellbook options, level 6 for R all-in, and first mage item completion.
Respect Neeko's level 6 R for burst and crowd control.
Respect Neeko's first completed AP burst item for increased all-in threat.

Win conditions

Use long-range poke and E CC to control lane space and force Neeko to miss her E root.
Punish Neeko's missed E and R cooldowns with aggressive Q and E trades.
Reach level 6 and use R to execute all-ins before Neeko can safely engage or disengage.

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