Poppy Support Guide: Champion Guide for Engage and Counter-Engage Plays
Iron Ambassador (Passive): Poppy's attack range increases when picking up her buckler. After throwing it, it lands on the ground and can be picked up for a shield. Enemy champions can step on it to destroy it.
Hammer Shock (Q): Poppy slams her hammer, dealing damage and slowing enemies. After a delay, it explodes again for additional damage.
Steadfast Presence (W): Gains movement speed and creates an aura that stops enemy dashes. Perfect for countering engage supports.
Heroic Charge (E): Charges at an enemy, pushing them back. If they hit a wall, they're stunned and take bonus damage.
Keeper's Verdict (R): Charges hammer to knock enemies away. Quick tap for short distance, hold for long distance launch.
Skill Order Priority:
- Q - Hammer Shock (max first for damage)
- E - Heroic Charge (max second normally)
- W - Steadfast Presence (max second vs dash-heavy teams)
Core Build:
- Starting: Steel Shoulderguards + 2 Health Potions
- Core: Locket of the Iron Solari, Dead Man's Plate
- Situational: Knight's Vow, Zeke's Convergence, Anathema's Chains
Support Playstyle:
- Use walls strategically for E stuns
- Counter enemy engages with W
- Roam to mid after pushing wave
- Focus on peeling for carries in teamfights
- Look for wall stun opportunities during skirmishes
Key Tips:
- Save W for critical enemy dashes
- Collect buckler for extra shield and range
- Use R to disrupt enemy backline or disengage
- Position near walls to threaten E stuns
- Coordinate ganks with jungler using E-Q combo
Poppy support excels at counter-engage and creating pick opportunities. Her high base damage and crowd control make her a threat throughout the game while building tanky to protect allies.
