Who to play with Poppy — best team synergies

Javelin Toss (Q) hits harder the farther it flies, but it never connects on a target that's walking: 1.7 seconds of wall stun from Heroic Charge (E) hands it over motionless. And she's an S+ jungler on the Chinese server.

Infinite Duress (R) suppresses for a full second, but he has to reach the target first: after Heroic Charge (E) into a wall it stands still for 1.7 seconds and his leap can't miss. Stacked up, that's three seconds where the enemy doesn't play.

Cease and Desist (R) drags their carry out of the team and knocks it up: you pick it up with Heroic Charge (E) into the nearest wall and add 1.7 seconds on top. Neither of you locks anyone down that long on your own.

Absolute Zero (R) only pays off if nobody interrupts it: an uncharged Keeper's Verdict (R) shoves off whoever jumps him, and a fully charged one punts their tank out of the objective pit while he smites.

Yi lives or dies on whoever protects him: Steadfast Presence (W) roots the diver the instant they dash, and Highlander (R) makes him slow-immune but not immune to hard crowd control, which you have to eat for him. In China, though, he's under 48%.

It works both ways: Sleepy Trouble Bubble (E) hands you a sleeping target to shove into a wall, and Steadfast Presence (W) roots the assassin the instant they dash at her, which is the only way Zoe ever dies.

Annie has to get almost into melee to deal damage and has no escape: you're the wall standing in front of her. In exchange, with Pyromania (P) charged every spell of hers stuns for a second, and on a stationary target Heroic Charge (E) can't miss.

Falling Star (R) comes down from absurd range but telegraphs where it lands: someone stunned for 1.7 seconds against a wall doesn't step aside. And Singularity (E) drags together the enemies you already slowed with the Hammer Shock (Q) field.

Your problem is that anyone with a dash slips out of Heroic Charge (E) before you pin them to the wall: Ring of Frost (W) roots them in place and takes that risk away. Frozen Tomb (R) then extends the lockdown when there's no wall nearby.

Against a dash-heavy team the two of you are a double wall: Doom 'n Gloom (P) marks anyone dashing near her and fears them on the next hit, Steadfast Presence (W) roots them where they stand. Against a comp that never dives, it's worth nothing.

Kog'Maw has no dash and no blink, and he dies exactly one way: with a diver on him. Steadfast Presence (W) roots that dash the instant it enters the zone, and anyone who still gets through eats an uncharged Keeper's Verdict (R).

Dragon Practice (P) asks for one thing only, staying alive long enough: you root the diver with Steadfast Presence (W) and a fully charged Keeper's Verdict (R) punts the assassin half a map away. That's the damage you lack, kept alive.

Curtain Call (R) keeps him standing still while he fires his four shots: you're the one keeping him alive by rooting whoever dashes at him. And he pays you back, because those shots want targets that can't move, like someone you just pinned to a wall with Heroic Charge (E).

Bullet Time (R) is a three-second channel: if anyone reaches her, the fight ends right there. Steadfast Presence (W) roots the incoming dash and an uncharged Keeper's Verdict (R) frees her immediately, without waiting for the charge.

Ashe covers exactly your hole: Frost Shot (P) slows on every hit, so whoever is running stays inside Heroic Charge (E) range, and Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) opens the fight from off-screen with a long stun.

Death Sentence (Q) drags the target toward him and stuns for a second and a half: that's exactly what you need, an enemy who can't dash away while Heroic Charge (E) carries them into a wall. And the lantern brings you back out after the dive.

Your own card says it: anyone who kites you with basic attacks beats you, and you have nothing to stop it. Unbreakable (E) eats the projectiles and cuts frontal damage, and it's the only real answer. On top, Concussive Blows (P) counts your hits with his and stuns on the fourth.

Aqua Prison (Q) knocks the target up and holds it there: from that point Heroic Charge (E) won't miss the wall. And Tidecaller's Blessing (E) adds damage and a slow to your hits, which is what you're missing to close out whoever you stun.

Twisted Advance (W) roots from range, and a rooted target can still be displaced: it's the perfect body to slam into a wall with Heroic Charge (E). Nature's Grasp (R) does the same thing to their whole formation in one cast.

Sona doesn't help you catch anyone: she gives you speed from Song of Celerity (E) to be there, healing to stay standing and Crescendo (R) to extend what you already locked down. She's the highest win rate support on the server, but it isn't a combo.
