Abilities

Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.

PASSIVE IRON AMBASSADOR

Poppy throws her buckler that bounces off the target. Poppy can pick it up to gain a temporary shield.

1 HAMMER SHOCK

Poppy swings her hammer, dealing damage and creating a zone that will slow enemies and explode after a delay.

2 STEADFAST PRESENCE

Poppy passively gains Armor and Magic Resist. This bonus increases when she is low on Health. Poppy can activate Steadfast Presence to gain Move Speed and stop enemy dashes around her. If a dash is stopped, the enemy is slowed and grounded.

3 HEROIC CHARGE

Poppy dashes to the target and pushes it back. If the target is pushed into a wall, it is stunned.

ULTIMATE KEEPER'S VERDICT

Poppy channels a hammer strike that knocks enemies very far away.
