Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
