Read from Hwei's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
This is Hwei's own plan; across 1,520 pooled games the lane is leaning Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Hwei | Your EQ out-ranges Poppy's entire melee kit at level 1 for free poke. |
| Level 2 | Hwei | At 2 your poke combo hammers a tank with no ranged answer. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At 3 a wall-pin Heroic Charge can flip a trade, so it's even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 her E stun threat versus your poke keeps it skill-dependent. |
| Level 6 | Hwei | At 6 your R zone plus EE root out-range her single engage. |
| First item | Hwei | On first item your Blackfire burn punishes her no-sustain tank body. |
| Two+ items | Hwei | By 2+ items your kite and zone control beat a one-dimensional wall-pin engage. |
You win 1-2 cleanly: your EQ out-ranges Poppy's melee kit, and with no ranged poke or sustain she can only eat chip while you shove and threaten her carry. Your poke out-ranges her entire melee kit and she has neither reach nor sustain, so keep the pressure on and let your carry farm. Pick the subject before she closes. Fight in the middle of the lane where her charge cannot pin anyone, and watch the mana bar.
