Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 through Q poke and empowered W trades, as Poppy lacks sustain and your Q outranges her abilities.
- At level 6, you maintain advantage since your R provides global pressure and dive potential that Poppy's R cannot match in pure 1v1 scenarios.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern involves Q poke when Poppy goes for CS, then engaging with empowered W when she's low to proc your passive and land guaranteed E damage.
- Always disengage immediately after your combo since extended trades favor Poppy's sustained damage and W movement speed.
Wave Control
- Push early waves with Q to establish level advantage and recall timing, but transition to freezing near your tower once Poppy gets items.
- This forces her to overextend for CS where you can punish with W-E combos and potential jungle assistance.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Poppy near walls where her E can stun you, as this negates your early game advantage completely.
- Avoid extended all-ins without empowered abilities ready, since Poppy's sustained damage and W movement speed will outduel your base kit.
