Neeko slings a tangle that damages and roots everything it passes through. If the tangle kills an enemy or passes through a champion, it becomes larger, faster, and roots for longer.
Passive
Inherent Glamour
Neeko can look like an ally champion or as other units on the map. Receiving immobilizing crowd control, casting damaging spells, damaging enemy towers as a non-champion, or your disguise taking damage equal to its healthbar breaks the disguise.

Neeko throws a seed dealing magic damage. The seed blooms again on hitting champions or killing units.
R (Ultimate)
Pop Blossom

W
Shapesplitter
