Neith

How to play Neith

Neith is a ranged hunter from the Egyptian pantheon who deals physical damage. Top players mostly play Neith in the Mid lane (53% of games) and the Carry (duo) lane (47% of games).

In your kit, Back Flip (leap backwards, slow cone) is your way in and out of fights. Spirit Arrow (line root damage) is your main crowd control. Unravel (area damage; heal you) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is World Weaver (global target stun damage), on a long cooldown (about 100s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Broken Weave: detonate weaves to root.

Community guides level Unravel, Back Flip and Spirit Arrow first. Max Spirit Arrow first, then Unravel, then Back Flip.

Your basic attacks are most of your damage, so keep attacking whenever it is safe. Stand at the edge of your range behind your front line and hit whoever is closest. Your power grows with every item, so farm safely early and avoid risky fights. Use Back Flip to reposition or escape, not to charge in. In the mid lane, clear the wave quickly, then help the side lanes or the jungle.

Start with Archmage's Gem, then buy Spear of Desolation. Top players buy it in the first two or three slots. Your core is Book of Thoth and Chronos' Pendant, and you finish with The World Stone, Rod of Tahuti and Obsidian Shard. A good relic is Aegis of Acceleration. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Wind, it reworks Broken Weave (detonate weaves for attack speed) and World Weaver (global target stun damage). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Rama, Cernunnos and Xbalanque, and struggle against Amaterasu, Artio or Ishtar. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
