Neeko
View on Wiki
Neeko plays quite differently than you might expect based on her abilities and constellation: almost all top tier builds for Neeko focus on her 'Shapesplitter' spell, and completely ignore her 'subtype' synergies. This focus on a single aspect of her kit can make her boring and repetitive to some, but Neeko is certainly powerful.
Creates additional Neekos and reduces the cost of 'Shapesplitter' further
If it hits Shapesplitter, this can reduce its cost to 0, and create an infinite loop.
Applies Epic items to cards in the deck every time a Neeko copy is summoned, including via shapesplitter.
Strategy
This setup leverages Neeko's champion spell to repeatedly summon ephemeral copies of herself. Each summon triggers Guardian's Orb, rapidly stacking Epic items on cards in the deck.
Echoing Spirit and Searing Brilliance work together to reduce the cost of her champion spell to zero while providing continuous card draw. This enables multiple triggers per round, overwhelming the opponent with heavily upgraded units.
Crucial for generating multiple Neeko copies and discounting her champion spell.
Provides massive stat scaling and Impact damage across the wide board.
Grants Overwhelm and bonus stats to all units with a subtype.
Strategy
This aggressive setup focuses on achieving a One-Turn Kill (OTK) by flooding the board with Neeko copies. Echoing Spirit ensures you have the necessary champion spells to duplicate Neeko repeatedly.
Fear-Cleaving Axe and The Beast Within synergize perfectly with her wide board of subtype units, providing overwhelming stats, Impact damage, and the Overwhelm keyword to push lethal damage through enemy blockers.

Neeko's constellation path requires significant resource investment, and the layout is often criticized for placing niche upgrades behind expensive nodes. The node granting a universal 10% experience boost is particularly resource-intensive and provides no direct combat advantage. Strategically, her intended subtype-focused gameplay is frequently overshadowed by strategies that exploit her champion spell and summon mechanics.

Considered a massive power spike that makes her extremely consistent. It enables her to drop early and spam her champion spell, forming the foundation of her strongest replication builds.

Game Start: Summon a Greenglade Lookout.Review
This upgrade is highly controversial. It limits board space for wide attacks by capping them at 5 units, which can hinder certain One-Turn Kill setups. It can also inadvertently absorb enemy removal spells.

Game Start: Get a mana gem.Review
The extra mana gem is highly valued for enabling explosive Turn 1 plays, allowing her to fully utilize her champion spell immediately.

When allies attack, deal 1 to all enemies and the enemy Nexus. Increased by 1 for each attacking subtyped ally.Review
This power transforms her into a board-clearing engine that destroys spellshields and pushes significant Nexus damage. The damage scales based on the number of attacking units with a subtype (capped at 6), and it counts as a skill, meaning it benefits directly from Luden's Tempest.
- Play Versus Summon Mechanics
Neeko's champion spell summons copies directly to the board rather than playing them from hand. Consequently, relics and items with "Play" effects will not activate on these copies. Ensure you play the untransformed Neeko directly from your hand when you need to trigger these specific effects.
- Aggressive Deck Thinning
To maximize the consistency of drawing Neeko and her champion spell, aggressively cut non-essential cards at healer nodes. A smaller deck ensures you can reliably execute her replication and damage combos early in the game.
- C6 Damage Scaling
Neeko's 6-star skill damage scales based on the number of attacking units that possess a subtype, up to a maximum of 6 damage. It does not scale based on the number of different subtypes present on the board.
- The Illusion of Disguise
The artificial intelligence always knows Neeko's true identity when she is disguised as another unit. Do not rely on the disguise mechanic to trick the opponent into making unfavorable blocks or using removal spells inefficiently.
