Neeko
View on Wiki
Good (7/10)
High Investment Required
Epic Relics
Players disagree about Neeko's overall power level. Some consider her constellation layout and intended subtype gameplay to be weak and overly expensive. While others praise her incredible speed and One-Turn Kill potential when utilizing specific Epic relics to spam her champion spell.
Carpet Bomb Artillery
Ensures consistent replication by discounting Neeko's champion spell.
Amplifies the damage of all generated Warning Shots and Neeko's inherent skill damage.
Generates Warning Shots every time a Neeko copy is summoned.
Strategy
This build transforms Neeko into a direct-damage engine, particularly excelling at 6 stars. Echoing Spirit provides a steady stream of discounted champion spells, allowing you to flood the board with Neeko copies.
Summoning these copies triggers Dreadway Chase Gun, filling the hand with Warning Shots. Luden's Tempest amplifies the damage of both the Warning Shots and Neeko's inherent 6-star skill damage, allowing for massive burst damage that can end games on the first or second turn.
Echo Axe OTK
- 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.
Infinite Value Generation (Gorb)
- Ensures consistent access to Neeko's champion spell for repeated summoning.
Discounts the champion spell further and provides card draw.
Applies Epic items to cards in the deck every time a Neeko copy is summoned.
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.
Golden Spatula Synergy
Grants all subtypes and the Lurker keyword, instantly fulfilling Neeko's level-up condition.- Floods the deck with Neeko copies and reduces the cost of her champion spell.
- Provides Overwhelm and bonus stats to all units with a subtype.
Strategy
This build bypasses Neeko's complex level-up requirements entirely. Golden Spatula grants her all subtypes, allowing her to level up instantly upon attacking.
Echoing Spirit ensures a consistent supply of cheap champion spells to flood the board with copies, while The Beast Within provides the necessary Overwhelm to push massive damage through enemy blockers for reliable early-game victories.
Zoe Adventure Specialist
Zoe Specialized
- Crucial for generating a high volume of Neeko champions and reducing spell cost.
- Grants a random spell in the deck an item with '-1 cost and draw 1'.
- Grants Epic items to 3 random cards in the deck upon summon.
Strategy
This build is highly effective for the 10-star Zoe adventure. The core idea is to flood the board with Neeko copies and repeatedly cast her champion spell, Shapeshifter, leveraging capture effects and rally.
Prioritize removing all non-Shapeshifter spells from the deck at healer nodes. This guarantees that Searing Brilliance hits Neeko's champion spell, making it cheaper and providing the card draw necessary for consistent, infinite combos.
Swarm Counter (Monthly Challenges)
Deals 3 damage to all other units on play, providing an efficient board clear.
Creates a Fleeting copy of Neeko in hand at Round Start.- Improves the quality of the overall deck and future draws upon summon.
Strategy
This build specializes in consistent board wipes and value generation, making it ideal for Monthly Challenges featuring aggressive board-swarming foes like Lulu or Miss Fortune.
Wicked Harvest provides powerful area-of-effect damage on play. The Grand General's Counterplan ensures a continuous supply of Neekos to trigger Wicked Harvest repeatedly, while Guardian's Orb scales the deck's power over time.
Constellation
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.
Harmony of the Wild
Each round, the first ally you play with a different subtype than other allies costs 1 less.
Definitely Not Neeko
+1 Starting Mana. Game Start: For each ally in your deck, if it has a subtype, grant it Impact. Otherwise, it becomes a Shapeshifter.
Harmony of the Wild II
Each round, the first ally you play with a different subtype than other allies costs 2 less.Review
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.
Survey Corp
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.
Manaflow
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.
Pop Blossom!
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.
Gameplay Tips
- 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.
- Golden Spatula Synergy
Equipping the Golden Spatula relic grants Neeko all subtypes and the Lurker keyword. This instantly fulfills her level-up condition upon attacking, bypassing the need to draft a diverse board of different subtypes.
- 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.
