How to win lane as Poppy against Lulu · 48.68% win rate over 2,046 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lulu | Level 1 Lulu's E Help, Pix poke and shield out-trade your walk-up. |
| Level 2 | Lulu | At 2 W Whimsy polymorph cancels your all-in and disables your E entirely. |
| Level 3 | Lulu | Level 3 she keeps kiting with poke, shields, and on-demand disable. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lulu | Through 4-5 her polymorph and shields blank your engage and burst. |
| Level 6 | Lulu | At 6 R Wild Growth hard-peels your dive and your Anti-Dash W is useless. |
| First item | Poppy | First-item you briefly out-tank her and can force the wave for a flank window. |
| Two+ items | Lulu | Two-plus items her W plus ult peel reassert control unless you flank-burst the carry first. |
Lulu shuts your engage down from level 2: W Whimsy polymorphs you the instant you commit, canceling the E Heroic Charge stun and your Q Hammer Shock follow-up, while E Help, Pix chips you and shields her carry. Your walk-up is a coinflip on whether she has W up, so treat her polymorph cooldown as the whole lane. Soak with the P Iron Ambassador shield, don't force E into an available W, and look for the trades where her Whimsy is already spent.
