Fiddlesticks vs Poppy

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears and vision control to reach level 6 before forcing fights against Poppy.
Avoid early river fights where Poppy's anti-dash and wall stun make invades risky.
This matchup favors scaling and objective control through ambushes rather than early dueling.

Jungle Plan

Execute efficient multi-camp clears while tracking Poppy's path to avoid her early invades.
Use level 6 (R) to set up fog ambushes around dragon and Rift Herald when vision is denied.
Trade cross-map camps when Poppy commits to invading lanes without lane priority to deny her tempo.

Danger windows

Early game river fights are dangerous due to (W) anti-dash and (E) wall stun threat.
Avoid low-health clears near river where Poppy can force smite fights or invade.
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available to knock you away or disengage fights.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize tempo and avoid early skirmishes with Poppy.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Avoid invading early as Poppy's strong early pressure and terrain control can punish overextensions.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to ambush and force objective fights with fog control.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway which can reset bad fights or isolate your team.
Poppy's first tank item spike increases her durability; avoid extended fights near walls where she can stun.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and vision denial into uncontested dragon and Rift Herald control.
Use (R) ambushes from fog to create numbers advantage in skirmishes and objective fights.
Track Poppy's pathing to counter-gank her early pressure and punish overextensions with cross-map plays.
