Full Crit Poppy Build

1. This build is focused on going in for a kill and 100-0 squishy champs. If you are interested in poking from afar and killing enemies with your shield instead, go check other Poppy build.

1. You go Full Crit.
2. You go in and play around Hail of Blades to burst enemies.
3. You back away and wait for Hail of Blades. Repeat.
4. This build works best if enemy team has squishy champions. If you are against a lot off-tanks/bruisers, this might not be best build. You can make it work by:
• You can get Lord Dominik's Regards early (#1-#3 item).
• If they are stacking HP you can buy Blade of The Ruined King. It's gonna delay your 100% crit, but it's gonna counter them and give you sustained dmg.

1. This build shines with 100% crit. You will instakill squishes. Until that, it might be challenging to 100-0 anyone. Look for opportunities to go in and score kills. Also focus on farming minions if possible (to scale faster).
2. Wait for your moment to go for a kill. You have a big burst thanks to Full Crit and Hail of Blades, but you are squishy. And outside of Hail of Blades procs (especially early game) you don't have much damage.

Core items

1. Your core items: The Collector, Essence Reaver, Infinity Edge.
• Usually, fourth crit item is Lord Dominik's Regard
2. You rush either The Collector or Essence Reaver.
• The Collector is default option, most versatile.
• Essence Reaver, when you can reliably use its proc.

Spectral Cutlass

1. Spectral Cutlass can be awesome item for this Full Crit build that lets you make plays, especially early and mid game.
2. You can get and stick with its subcomponent early - Lifeline. It has the same cooldown. You can test it, if it works against enemy team.
3. Spectral Cutlass might not be best late game item (depending on the enemy comp). You can sell it and get other item late game.

During game

1. Snowball / Mark is an essential cooldown for this build. Do not waste it or even wait to hit the enemy at point-blank range to ensure hit (so you follow them, if they Flash).
2. Enemy team might not check your items right away, you could use that for your advantage to nuke unsuspected enemy.
3. After they checked your items and noticed that you have damage and are squishy, they are going to target you in fights. Be careful, after early game probably you need to modify your playstyle and stay back and wait for a good moment to join fights.

Gameplay

1. If they have tons of CC, get Mercury's Treads, Edge of Night or even Mercurial Scimitar to counter that.
2. If you are not doing well, or an enemy team is slightly ahead, you can adapt and buy tank items. Worst case scenario, you can sell everything late game and 'respec' into full tank.
3. Spectral Cutlass trick - use Spectral Cutlass, go in, then hit Mark in point blank range, Spectral Cutlass out and go in with Mark again!

1. You can get surprise kills and tons of damage, Iron Ambassador (Passive) with all possible procs from items + you are lucky with crit (or already have 100%)! Try using this combo to maximize your damage.

1. Thanks to Iron Ambassador (Passive) and Steadfast Presence (W), you are tanky. You get even tankier below 40% maximum health — don't hesitate in clutch moments; that's when you're at your toughest.
2. You are awesome peeler. You can do it super well for carries (especially when playing off-meta roles)
• Long Keeper's Verdict (R) can knock enemies away, short Keeper's Verdict (R) can knock them in the air.
• Steadfast Presence (W) grounds and knocks enemies up if they are dashing for your carry.
• Heroic Charge (E) carries enemy and stuns them.

Iron Ambassador (Passive)

1. If you kill minion with your Iron Ambassador (Passive), shield gets back to you and you gain shield immediately (you don't need to pick it up). Use this for your advantage.
2. Remember to pick shield from Iron Ambassador (Passive) as often as possible! It prevents tons of poke and lets you play more aggressively.
3. Your Iron Ambassador (Passive) count as ranged attack, which means some runes and items will give you an effect as if you were ranged champion. For example: Grasp of the Undying - less heal, less Health, less dmg. Hubris - less ad. First Strike - less gold.

Steadfast Presence (W)

1. Do not use W too early. Enemies will hold anticipating your W. The more you wait, the more pressure you put on them (for example, they cannot go for your carry right away).

Heroic Charge (E)

1. You can use Heroic Charge (E) as escaping tool as well! Target minions or enemies that are far away to escape.
2. You can use E to pick up your shield!
3. You can stun enemies by using Heroic Charge (E) against champion-created walls and terrain!

1. Iron Ambassador tends to land near walls, try to take advantage of this with Heroic Charge.
2. Keeper's Verdict can be released immediately to send the enemy straight up, take advantage of this in duels.
