Vladimir vs Neeko

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir aims to survive early poke and scale into a strong mid-game burst threat with R and empowered Q.
Avoid giving Neeko free all-ins by respecting her E root and R burst windows while farming safely.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around empowered Q and save W to dodge Neeko's E root or R burst.
Punish Neeko if she misses E by stepping forward for quick Q trades.
Avoid trading when W is down or Neeko's R is available to prevent heavy burst damage.

Danger windows

Neeko is dangerous when her E can root through minions or when her R is up for multi-target burst.
Vladimir is vulnerable after using W due to its long cooldown and health cost.
Avoid extended trades or all-ins when empowered Q is down and Neeko's crowd control is available.

Early game

Use Q to sustain through Neeko's poke and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid fighting when Neeko's E is off cooldown or when her disguise and clone misdirection are active.
Focus on farming and maintaining health to reach your item spikes safely.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes are level 6 R and first completed AP item, enabling strong all-ins and burst.
Neeko's major spikes are level 6 R and first AP burst item, increasing her all-in threat.
Respect Neeko's level 6 R and E root as windows where she can force fights or punish mistakes.

Win conditions

Survive early lane with Q sustain and avoid Neeko's root and burst windows.
Use empowered Q and R to punish Neeko when she mispositions or after she wastes key cooldowns.
Scale into mid-game teamfights where you can flank and burst grouped enemies with R and E combo.

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