How to play it
DO
No-dash zone
Steadfast Presence hard-counters dashes — she cancels your engage the moment you jump in.
Shove and roam
You can't kill something this tanky, so push the wave and roam for a better fight.
Keep your distance
Never let her get on top of you — her charge into a wall stuns you and you won't be moving.
DON'T
Never dash onto Poppy — her no-dash zone eats your engage and leaves you stuck on her.
