Dodge her E wall-pin — E-stun her low damage.
Track: Poppy's E — Heroic Charge (14–10s cooldown). Wall-pin stun. Dodge it.
Read from Sett's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Sett wins Level 1 as Poppy is passive and loses early auto trades. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Sett stays ahead at Level 2 with E-Facebreaker out-damaging her before armor scales. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Sett dominates Level 3 as true damage cuts through her early tank stats. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Sett keeps the edge at Levels 4-5 by trading in open lane away from her wall-stun. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 is skill — she is untargetable mid-channel, so bait Keeper's Verdict. |
| First item | Sett | Sett is favoured at first item since Haymaker true damage and Grit out-brawl her. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | Poppy takes over at 2+ items as her armour scales and R disengages every all-in. |
You win the opening levels. Poppy is passive early and Facebreaker plus Haymaker's true-damage centre out-trade her before she stacks armour. The one rule: stay off walls, because Heroic Charge only stuns when it slams you into terrain — in open lane it is just a shove.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Phage / Tiamat + boots (≈1300g). Build Stridebreaker (stick to them through the W panel window) first, then Sterak's Gage, with Plated Steelcaps.
