Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Marksmage
Gold
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 75% Ability Power.
Why on Neeko
Your attacks gain physical damage from your Ability Power, so autos between spells hit hard alongside the bonus magic damage Shapesplitter (W) adds every third attack.
1
Jeweled Gauntlet
Prismatic
Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.
Why on Neeko
Blooming Burst (Q), Tangle-Barbs (E) and Pop Blossom (R) can all critically strike, letting your full combo spike well above its normal damage.
2
Eureka
Prismatic
Gain Ability Haste equal to 20% Ability Power.
Why on Neeko
Your Ability Power also lowers cooldowns, so you cast Blooming Burst (Q) and Tangle-Barbs (E) more often and get Pop Blossom (R) back sooner in long fights.
