Neeko's disguise collection is offered through a special Disguise Menu in the HUD. The menu holds up to 5 slots, based on the number of allied champions. The player can select a disguise by clicking on their portrait or via the Champion Specific Interaction hotkeys (default: Shift+F1–F5). The Sho'Ma disguise can be discarded by clicking on the 'x' next to the disguise's icon or via the sixth Champion Specific Interaction hotkey (default: Shift+F6).
The slot containing her Sho'Ma disguise will be third in the HUD if there are two or more allied champions in the game, otherwise it will be the rightmost slot. The remaining slots will contain allied champion disguises in order of their appearance in the pre-game Loading Screen.
Casting Inherent Glamour does not count as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Spellblade, passive, and does not interrupt movement orders.
Neeko does not begin storing Sho'Ma from a unit if that unit enters her sight and gathering range at the same time, or if it is within gathering range when she loses the disguise.
The progress of gathering Sho'Ma from a unit is not lost even if Neeko stores Sho'Ma from a different unit.
Inherent Glamour's cooldown only prevents Neeko from activating disguises; she can still store and remove Sho'Ma while the passive is on cooldown.
When disguising while storing Sho'Ma from a unit, Neeko continues to store Sho'Ma from that unit.
Neeko cannot store Sho'Ma from and .
After successfully storing Sho'Ma, Neeko celebrates by clapping.
This animation is forced and overrides all other animations except landing animation.
If Neeko attempts to activate a disguise while near the trap, ward, or jungle plant she stored Sho'Ma from, she will leap to that unit's exact position over 1 second, though not through terrain, and then become disguised. If she does so for a monster and is near its respective jungle camp, she will leap to that monster's usual position in the camp.
If the monster is any Krug, she will leap to the large Krug's position in the camp on the blue side or medium Krug's position on the red side.
If the monster is Rift Scuttler or a lesser Raptor, she will leap to its position at the time of storing Sho'Ma instead.
The leap is interrupted if Neeko attacks, moves, or casts certain abilities and spells.
The disguise will still activate after 1 second if the leap is interrupted by moving or attacking.
Neeko cannot gather Sho'Ma while leaping.
She will fail to activate the disguise after the leap if she is affected by the same conditions that would break a disguise.
Inherent Glamour's leap has a number of interactions that set it apart from other lunges:
Inherent Glamour's leap does not interact with Galvanize passive;
Inherent Glamour's leap does not override the forced movement inflicted by airborne effects;
The path of Inherent Glamour's leap will be similar to the path Neeko would take if ordered to move to the unit's position instead.
Neeko will copy the unit's facing direction when disguising after leaping.
If Neeko does not arrive at the unit's position while leaping, she will continue moving toward it.
While not disguised, attempting to cast Inherent Glamour during a cast time or attack windup puts the ability on cooldown immediately, but postpones the disguise.
Doing so while disguised will not postpone the effect and will interrupt the attack windup.
This allows Neeko to successfully disguise even if she gets affected by effects that would put Inherent Glamour on cooldown during the delay.
Neeko can activate Inherent Glamour while channeling, and remain in the disguise during the channel.
Neeko can activate Inherent Glamour while immobilized, and remain in the disguise during the immobilization, despite the fact that immobilizations are meant to break the disguise.
Neeko will copy aesthetics as well as superficial mechanical statistics. She will fake a number of readings:
Health bar (original's current amount becomes her apparent maximum)

Ammunition
Stats
Buffs and debuffs with their respective icons and VFX/SFX (there are exceptions)

However, critical strikes from non-champions always deal physical basic damage.
