Neeko vs Azir

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko must pressure Azir early to deny his calm scaling farm and soldier setup.
Use lane pressure to prevent Azir from establishing safe soldier zones and force him into defensive play.

Trading pattern

Fish for E angles through minions to root Azir and punish his immobility.
Respect Azir R and Azir E cooldowns; trade aggressively when these are down.
Use Q burst immediately after a successful E root and avoid trading when Azir's soldiers are well positioned.

Danger windows

When Azir has Azir R available, avoid committing as he can displace and punish all-ins.
If Azir uses Azir E aggressively, capitalize on his forced cooldown to engage.
Missing E or losing disguise advantage leaves Neeko vulnerable to Azir's soldier poke and Azir R counter-engage.

Early game

Use E through minions to root Azir and follow with Q burst before he can reposition soldiers.
Avoid extended trades if E misses or Azir has Azir R ready to disengage.
Use W and passive disguise to create uncertainty and bait Azir into poor soldier placement.

Power spikes

Level 6 R unlock is Neeko's major all-in and teamfight threat.
First completed AP burst item significantly boosts Neeko's kill pressure.
Azir's level 6 Azir R spike increases his disengage and zoning; respect this timing.

Win conditions

Use disguise and W clone to create pick opportunities and force Azir out of position.
Punish Azir's immobility by landing E root through minions and following with burst combo.
Deny Azir safe soldier setups early to prevent his scaling and control of the lane.

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