Tristana vs Neeko

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early level 2 all-in threat with support to punish Neeko's medium early agency.
Exploit Neeko's reliance on minion positioning by crashing waves and threatening turret plates with (E).
Avoid overextending into disguise and root angles; maintain spacing to dodge (E) through minions.

Trading pattern

Force committed all-ins around level 2 or 3 with support follow-up to stack (E) burst.
Jump (W) only when enemy disengage is down and wave size minimizes minion retaliation.
Punish Neeko immediately if (E) root misses or (R) is used, as her all-in threat drops.

Danger windows

Respect (E) root through minions, which sets up her burst and all-ins.
Avoid standing close when (R) is available to prevent multi-target knock-up and burst.
Watch for disguise and (W) clone misdirection to prevent surprise engages or root setups.

Early game

Push to hit level 2 before Neeko and coordinate with support for a jump (W) all-in.
Thin waves to avoid large minion clusters that empower (E) root angles.
Reset after winning trades to convert (E) stacks into turret damage and deny Neeko farm.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) jump and (E) burst, enabling sudden all-ins; push hard with support cover.
First completed marksman item increases turret pressure and burst potential; turn recalls into plate damage.
Late game range and reset potential allow safe re-engages and turret sieges against Neeko's medium range.

Win conditions

Snowball early all-ins by stacking (E) and resetting with (W) to pressure turret plates.
Use wave crashes to force Neeko off lane and gain turret damage priority.
Leverage resets and item spikes to roam or secure mid-game objectives after lane dominance.
