| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Through 4-5 Senna's Q and E camouflage deny Poppy any clean engage. |
| Level 6 | Senna | But at 6 Poppy's R Keeper's Verdict and W-E all-in give her a real window to delete a fragile Senna. |

Senna wins the early poke war outright: her Q Piercing Darkness heals her while chipping you and your ADC from a range you can never match on a melee tank, and every last-hit stacks a soul that makes her stronger. Your W Steadfast Presence and E Heroic Charge are useless until you can actually reach her, and she'll walk up under the safety of that range. Focus on not eating free Q pokes, farm what you can, and look to punish only when she steps too far forward to grab a soul.
