Poppy lore:

Runeterra has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy. Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this determined yordle has spent untold years searching in secret for the fabled “Hero of Demacia,” said to be its rightful wielder. Until then, she dutifully charges into battle, pushing back the kingdom's enemies with every whirling strike.

Poppy tips:

  • Iron Ambassador tends to land near walls, try to take advantage of this with Heroic Charge.
  • Keeper's Verdict can be released immediately to send the enemy straight up, take advantage of this in duels.

Playing Against Poppy

  • Poppy can stop nearby enemies from dashing with Steadfast Presence.
  • When Poppy starts to spin her hammer, she is charging Keeper's Verdict.
  • You can step on Poppy's shield to deny it from her.
