| Levels 4-5 | Seraphine | Through 4-5 Seraphine's Q, W shields, and E root deny Poppy a safe engage. |
| Level 6 | Seraphine | But at 6 Poppy's R Keeper's Verdict and W-E all-in give her a window to delete a squishy Seraphine. |
| First item | Poppy | After first item Seraphine's poke and shields reclaim the 2v2. |
| Two+ items | Seraphine | With 2+ items Seraphine's R Encore and range control let her out-value Poppy in extended fights. |
Seraphine controls the early lane with range: her Q High Note pokes you and your ADC from safety and deals bonus damage as your health drops, while E Beat Drop can slow then root if she lands the double-cast. Your W Steadfast Presence doesn't help against a non-dash poke mage and your E Heroic Charge can't reach her until you close a lot of ground. Dodge her Q, farm safely, and only step up when she's used E, because a root here converts into a lost trade or a kill for her side.
