Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through turret zone control and poke, but lose hard if Poppy gets on top of you without turrets nearby.
- Post-6 your upgraded turret beam gives you strong all-in potential, but her R can displace you from your setup.
How to Trade
- Poke with W rockets when she goes for CS and use E to stun her if she tries to engage, then kite back through your turrets.
- Don't try to trade auto attacks - use your range advantage and turret damage instead.
Wave Control
- Push constantly to keep turrets up and force her to farm under tower where you can poke safely.
- Place turrets to control key areas and deny her engage angles, especially near walls where her E is strongest.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't place all turrets in one cluster where her Q can hit multiple ones, and avoid fighting without at least 2 turrets nearby.
- Never face-check bushes or fight in areas where you haven't established turret control first.
