Neeko Build
the Curious Chameleon
Hailing from a long lost tribe of vastaya, Neeko can blend into any crowd by borrowing the appearances of others, even absorbing something of their emotional state to tell friend from foe in an instant. No one is ever sure where—or who—Neeko might be, but those who intend to do her harm will soon witness her true colors revealed, and feel the full power of her primordial spirit magic unleashed upon them.
The most played Neeko Mid build on patch 26.21 runs Electrocute with Taste of Blood, Grisly Mementos and Treasure Hunter, plus Manaflow Band and Scorch from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Doran's Ring and Health Potion, then build Hextech Rocketbelt, Spellslinger's Shoes and Stormsurge, followed by Shadowflame, Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff. Max Q (Blooming Burst) first, then E (Tangle-Barbs), then W (Shapesplitter). It has a 51.9% win rate and a 0.4% pick rate.
