nice guide and nice build gonna try it out now :P

+1 nice build gonna try it out now ^ ^

I loved this guide. Best Poppy I've played in a long time (certainly better than the ones that pretend they're Tryndamere).
Inspired me to change my guide.

I didnt read your guide before SirNIFO's one ( i should have :p ), and i really enjoy it, nice job, you show 2 proper way to play her and its pretty nice.

Just a question about her passive, are you sure it works like that ? Did u made some test IG ?
I always understood that when the incoming dmg is more than 10% of poppy current hp the entire dmg is reduce by 50%, so like in your exemple, poppy has 600 hp, she get 100 dmg in her face, the passive proc and she only get 50 dmg ( 50 % reduction ). The mechanism seems to be pretty more easier like that, what do you think ?

Another question, i should try IG but i cant dot it right now, does the Q can crit ? Some people says it can and other dont, but i m not 100 % sure. Basicly its magic dmg so it shouldnt, i really dont know.

Last thing, you can pass on shurelya ( it should made by the team support ) and upgrade your philo stone for 35 tenacity, then you go for lucidity or sorcerer's boots.

You're right, but I rarely ever get to the point where I build Shurelya's :) There's not alot of good masteries to choose from either, though I might add an alternative, more offensive mastery build for the hybrid build.

With Enlightenment , Sorcery, Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction and your items you just waste 8% CDR; So maybe it would be a good idea to skip enlightenment for something else so you would have a point landing at the CDR cap of 40%

Other then that...a nice guide.

Shurelyas last item??? you need it mid.. :D

Good build, as far as early game, just make sure you lane with a ranged AD and you can farm easy.

I like this guide and I think it's the best one so it has to go up in the chart ;)

When Poppy gets TF she becomes really scary.. before that it's a gamble.. that's why maybe Phage would be better than Sheen for farming, what do you think?

The bloodrazor is highly situational and I should probably add something about that, but it's a good last item to better shred high health targets.
DFG is pretty much core for Poppy though as the point of these builds is burst damage, which in my opinion is much superior to a sustained damage build with IE and stuff.




I doubt you'd be able to get away with gp runes honestly, the movementspeed quints are pretty important as well as the extra armor for laning. 2 gold per 5 items is definitely a good idea though, especially cause you're building DFG anyway, I can add something about that.
And yes my farm those 2 games was awful :> First game I was in lane with an AD Soraka who was never really in lane and second game I was 'supporting'. Just goes to show how well Poppy can still do with that little farm D:



I am adding one at some point, would need a few more games doing it though



Ah well that's something I just plain forgot, thanks for mentioning :> (But honestly 9 games out of 10 Regrowth Pendant is the best option just to get that early philo stone~)

New to poppy and this build has really improved early game farming which is a big weakness for poppy keep it up.

Ok so the builds look pretty solid.

One thing I highly highly dislike though is getting Triforce + Razor and Triforce + DFG as well. Consider getting an IE instead (I don't actually think Hybrid is any better then ad carry). Also I might need to test it myself at some point, but gp/10 seals and quints might be a good option on her, along with building a Philosopher's Stone and Kage's Lucky Pick. Especially since I think if you don't get fed with her it's pretty well gg. In every game you screenshotted I saw a terrible amount of minion farm (140 at 40 min is terrible and 160 at 50 min is even worse) so i'm not sure whether that's the champion or just you :P

I would love to see a jungle section just because I think that might be the best way to start for her.

Also, is it plausible to pick up a Doran's Shield or a Regruvenation Bead in lane too? You might want to include some other starting items (like Boots + Health Potion too and why they are viable/why not.
