Read from Quinn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Your Q (Blinding Assault) outranges her at level 1 and she has no E yet — chip her for free, but she answers fast so it's genuinely even. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | Her W (Steadfast Presence) eats your E (Vault) dash and her Q-knockup punishes the follow-up — don't trade into her here. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | Her E (Heroic Charge) wall-pin stun chunks you and her tankiness shrugs off your single-target poke at this stage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | With Q-W-E all online you can kite at range and blind her autos, but neither of you can commit cleanly — it's a skill standoff. |
| Level 6 | Poppy | R (Keeper's Verdict) plus the wall-pin E make her the gank-setup threat and knock you out of position — her window. |
| First item | Poppy | Her tank items hold up while your first lethality item hasn't tipped the duel yet — she still trades you evenly. |
| Two+ items | Quinn | Your lethality/crit spike beats her damage-less tank build — blind her autos and kite the wall to reclaim the open-field duel. |
Level 1 is yours — Q (Blinding Assault) outranges everything she has, so chip her freely before she gets E online. The trap is your E (Vault): if you dash onto Poppy she pops W (Steadfast Presence) to slow you, then Q-knockups and walks you into a wall-pin E for the stun. Don't do it. Stay at Q range, blind her autos so her trades do nothing, and only use E to refresh Harrier and disengage after a Vulnerable auto. Respect that her W also blanks your E entirely if she reads it.
