Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak level 1s, but you concede it harder — no spammable poke and you want Skaarl's health full, so just farm to your level-2 spike. |
| Level 2 | Kled | Violent Tendencies (W) comes online and your on-hit shotgun shots plus Bear Trap percent-HP damage win the level-2 all-in before she can answer. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Your full E-W-E re-E with Q lands a stun-and-shred combo, and Skaarl's free health bar lets you win nearly any level-3 all-in she takes. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | You stack W procs and remount sustain out-trades her raw tank stats, since percent-max-health Q shreds her faster than she heals or armors. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Chaaaaaaaaarge!!! gives you an engage and gank-extension she lacks — force the all-in when her Steadfast Presence W can't cancel your charge. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse or Trinity sheen procs plus percent-max-health Q shred her tank stacking harder than she armors up — your hardest pre-late window. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | She out-scales as a built tank: her W stops your only engage, her E wall-pin and Keeper's Verdict knock you out, and your frontloaded burst falls off into her durability. |
Level 1 I concede — I have no spammable poke and I want to keep Skaarl's health bar full, so I just farm and wait for my spike. From level 2 it's mine: Violent Tendencies comes online and my fourth-and-after shots chunk her, and by 3 I have the full E-W-E re-E with Bear Trap on a Rope to lock her. Her one real answer early is Steadfast Presence — her W stops my E dash near her — so don't waste my engage into it; bait the W on its 20s, then re-E in and let my percent-HP Q and Skaarl's free health win the all-in. Dodge Heroic Charge: pinned on a wall, I eat the stun and her Hammer Shock zone detonates on me.
