Vayne vs Poppy

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to keep Poppy at bay and avoid her wall stuns.
Focus on high lane pressure and scaling into a strong side-lane duel threat with true damage.

Trading pattern

Trade from max range using autos and (Q) to maintain spacing and avoid (W) dash stops.
Punish Poppy after she wastes (W) or misses (E) wall stuns by stepping forward with (E) and true damage.
Avoid using (Q) forward into (W) zone to prevent being locked down for her engage.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Poppy has (W) ready to stop your (Q) dashes and engage.
Avoid fighting near walls when (E) is up on Poppy, as she can stun you against terrain.
Watch for (R) knockaway in fights, which can disrupt your positioning and kill pressure.

Early game

Keep the wave on your side to avoid pushing without vision and prevent easy ganks.
Hold (E) to punish Poppy's engage attempts near walls rather than using it for poke.
Avoid fighting near walls unless you can control spacing to land (E) stuns.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain stealth on (Q) and outplay Poppy's all-ins with repositioning.
After your first two core items, pressure side lanes to exploit your true damage against Poppy's tankiness.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway by baiting it before committing to fights near walls.

Win conditions

Deny Poppy safe farming by using ranged poke and wave control to keep her on the back foot.
Use (E) to (E) Poppy into walls for stuns and follow up with true damage trades.
Scale into side-lane duels post-level 6 with (R) stealth tumbles and two-item power spike to shred Poppy's durability.

Tip: For Vayne vs Poppy, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
