The buckler ricochets off the target, landing nearby. Poppy can pick it up to gain 15 / 17.5 / 20% shield, and enemies can step on it to destroy it.

The buckler automatically returns to Poppy if it kills the target.

If Poppy tackles them into terrain, the enemy is stunned for 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 1.9 / 2 seconds and take an additional 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage.

Release: Poppy smashes the ground, creating a shockwave that deals 200 / 300 / 400 (+0.9 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to the first champion hit and surrounding enemies, knocks them back towards their Nexus, and makes them untargetable while they fly. The range and knock back distance increase with charge duration. An uncharged swing deals 100 / 150 / 200 (+0.45 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and knocks up for 0.75 seconds.
