Hello. My name is ThyBlindGuardian. If this guide is poor, please excuse me as this is a first guide ive ever made! I have played poppy for a while now and I developed a poppy strat that will make you almost unstoppable late game.

This guide will allow you to have an insane kill death ratio even if you're losing! I remember having a record of 4x-2-xx in a match that I lost!!

With this guide, I will teach you how to play like this:

First, lets talk about the two d+f skills. The two skills that I deem are most important for this style of aggressive play is Ghost and Ignite.

Ghost is crucial because it allows you to chase with PoD (insane speed) and also allows you to escape if things are getting too hot.
Ignite is very nice for early to mid game and then it becomes not as important at late game. This is the skill that will help you get first blood almost EVERY game. You should always position yourself at bottom lane and try to charge an enemy towards your teammate or mobs at which point you should ignite them and pop ghost to get at least 1 hit off.

Skill build goes like this:
Heroic Charge
Devastating Blow
PoD
Devastating Blow
PoD
Ult
then from this point, max out DB first and then PoD and finally heroic charge (this should be kept at lvl 1 until both those are maxed). Apply points to ult as they become available. The skill build diagram that I made with this guide is inaccurate!

Items:
Lvl 1: Doran's Shield
Health Pot

Throughout all of this, you want to constantly kill the gollums. You'll be able to kill them starting at level 7-8.

Attack combo list that I use:
W > Chase > E > Q > W (if running) > Chase > Q > Ignite
You should save Ghost for if they're running away and don't use it to engage.

If you're sure you'll be able to kill them with using Ghost first, use:
Ghost>w>r>e>q>Chase>w>e>q>ignite or keep repeating

But as always, even if you have the right tools to become rambo poppy, you need to have the awareness to use the tools. You will not be able to accomplish what he goal of this guide is if you play poorly and tower dive when you know you'll die. Keeping death to a minimum is what really makes this guide work. Play smart, play aggressive and play to dominate the competition.

I chose all +crit damage and speed attack runes because because this build of poppy attacks so fast and has an incredible crit %, almost every hit will be a crit and the crit runes make the damage even more :)

Item:
Lvl 1:
Doran's Shield
Health Pot

From this point, save up for items in this order:
Sheen
Boots (if its caster or snare heavy get Mercury's Treads. Additionally, stick to normal boots till you finish PD.)
Zeal
Phage
Trinity Force
BF sword,
Cloak of AGI
Pickaxe > Infinity Edge
Zeal
Cloak of AGI
Phantom Dancer
BF Sword
Blood Thirster
The Black Cleaver

These items are VERY obtainable.. I get these items most of my games and this will allow you to SOLO baron easily and then train enemys right afterward!!


Hope you enjoyed my guide!! If you have any questions shoot me a msg in game: ThyBlindGuardian

My mastery is built with the intent to do as much damage as possible. Not many, if not any survivability points.. except maybe Ghost. Again, I chose points that would maximize damage, crit, and crit damage! One thing I want to bring up is Ghost. It is a very important point to put in because not only is it great for survival, but also attacking!
