Read from Lulu's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | At Level 1 you poke a melee support who can't reach your range. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | Your Level 2 spike chunks Poppy when she steps up to trade. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | At Level 3 you keep the poke lead against her single engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Levels 4-5 favour you as spacing neutralizes Heroic Charge. |
| Level 6 | Lulu | Level 6 Wild Growth and Polymorph answer her wall-slam all-in. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — a fog-charged Keeper's Verdict can still displace. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | Two items in your peel outscales her pick, winning the fight. |
You control Levels 1-5: Poppy is a melee engage support who can't contest your range, so you shield-poke her down and only respect a single Heroic Charge, which spacing and E-vision neutralize. She is melee and cannot contest your range, so poke her whenever she steps forward and shield the chip she lands. Pix belongs on your carry, not on you. Hold the polymorph for her charge, and fight in the middle of the lane where her best tool has no wall to work with.
