How it works

General

  1. This build is all about Imperial Mandate.
  2. And also all about slows.
  3. You support through disrupting fights, being annoying, Slowing/Healing/Buffing and soaking damage.

How to play

General

  1. Your core items - Imperial Mandate and optionally Rylai's Crystal Scepter for even more slows (and consistency).
  2. Your CC triggers Glacial Augument that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.
  3. Since LoL Patch 14.1 Imperial Mandate is changed. Now you need your team to proc it to deal any damage. So you need to play a little bit differently. Do not spam mindlessly. Try coordinating it with your team - when they are about to poke or when they go in.
  4. Font of Life heal can trigger various support items, like Ardent Censer or Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  5. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Tips and Tricks

Shapesplitter (W)

  1. You can use your Shapesplitter (W) to prevent tons of enemy skillshots, trigger enemy traps and check bushes!
  2. You can improve your Neeko's game immediately just by changing direction before using Shapesplitter (W). Pretend that you are going one direction, just to W into another. This confuses enemies and can also help with surprise engages with Pop Blossom (R)!

Pop Blossom (R)

  1. To elevate your Neeko's game, when you want to R Flash combo, make sure to do it at the very last frame of Pop Blossom (R) animation, so enemies won't have any time to react.

Build

  1. As a support Neeko, send your Shapesplitter (W) clone into fights frequently — especially during chaotic teamfights. This baits skillshots, draws attention, and often causes enemies to waste key abilities or misposition while trying to chase it down.

Riot

  1. You can set her passive to use hotkeys in the options menu. The default is Shift+F1~F5
  2. Try to use Inherent Glamour sparingly, ineffective uses will put enemies on the alert.
