Poppy Build
Keeper of the Hammer
Runeterra has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy. Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this determined yordle has spent untold years searching in secret for the fabled “Hero of Demacia,” said to be its rightful wielder. Until then, she dutifully charges into battle, pushing back the kingdom's enemies with every whirling strike.
The most played Poppy Support build on patch 26.21 runs Aftershock with Font of Life, Bone Plating and Unflinching, plus Cosmic Insight and Hextech Flashtraption from the secondary tree. Take Flash and Ignite. Start with Health Potion, then build Celestial Opposition, Boots of Swiftness and Dead Man's Plate, followed by Locket of the Iron Solari, Thornmail and Protoplasm Harness. Max Q (Hammer Shock) first, then E (Heroic Charge), then W (Steadfast Presence). It has a 51.3% win rate and a 1.6% pick rate.
