Honestly, Bami's Cinder is one of the best early-game items on ARAM Poppy. Paired with Guardian's Horn, Triumph,and Steadfast Presence's passive, you can have some pretty good durability even in the earlier stages of the game. On top of that, Bami's builds into Sunfire Aegis and Hollow Radiance, either of which you'll really wan to have as Poppy.

Getting Tear of the Goddess early is amazing, hence why I recommend it as one of your starting items on the Howling Abyss. It'll help increase max mana, which is good for Poppy since she doesn't really build much for mana regen. On top of that, you can stack it while you farm or fight, and you'll get to the 360 stacks faster than you may realize. Speaking of which, I don't really recommend rushing Winter's Approach unless your close to the 360 stacks on Tear. But when you do buy it with full stacks and it transforms to Fimbulwinter, you start getting nutty. With it's shield's 80% improvement in the presence of 3 or more enemy champions, it's a must have in ARAAM, where enemies are always grouped up. I've managed to get crazy sheilding going for me using it, and that's excluding Iron Ambassador!

Conqueror is without a doubt an amazing rune for ARAM Poppy. Not only does it give you a buff in damage, but also some healing off your attacks. And while Poppy may have a few hiccups stacking it on the Rift, ARAM's longer fights are just what see needs to make the most of the rune. Triumph, Legend: Tenacity, and Last Stand are all amazing choices for her as well, improving her outplay potential in those close fights. Only rune you could switch out is Legend: Tenacity for Legend: Alacrity if the enemies have low CC.

Honestly, Resolve is just too good a rune path to pass down, hence why I try to keep it in almost every ARAM match with Poppy. Revitalize and Conditioning work beautifully with Poppy's kit and what see wants to do: combine shields and heals to outsustain and out-tank the enemy. Aftershock is also a great choice for if you're the only engage on your team, especially for early-game protection.

I'm really rocking with Tanky Poppy, but there's still some items/runes I have to try out. If you've got any tips, tricks, or experiences playing this build, let me know in the comments, thanks!
