How to Play This Matchup
Mid-Game Showdown
Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Range Advantage
Neeko has range advantage. Taric should look for short trades when Neeko uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Neeko's Weakness
Neeko's main weakness: Immobile without R, squishy, predictable. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Neeko Win Condition
Disguise mind games, R AoE stun in teamfights
Taric Win Condition
R invulnerability wins teamfights, E stun, heal sustain
