Poppy Wild Rift Best Build Guide

Anti-entry tank build: Poppy does not win only because she tanks, but because she makes certain enemy paths absurd before the real engage even starts. The build must therefore reinforce her ability to shut access down, punish near walls, and stay present enough to replay control a second time.

Poppy wins fights by controlling tempo and denying enemy execution. The build maximizes her ability to survive initial impact and disrupt key targets.
