  1. Grasp of the Undying
    Grasp of the Undying

    Every 4s your next attack on a champion deals bonus magic damage, heals you, and permanently increases your health.

    Grasp of the Undying

    Every 4s in combat, your next basic attack on a champion will:

  2. Deal bonus magic damage equal to 3.5% of your max health
  3. Heal you for 1.3% of your max health
  4. Permanently increase your health by 5
    Ranged Champions: Damage, healing, and permanent health gained are 60% effective.

Why?

Grasp on Poppy allows her to trade incredibly well in lane and sustain a ton of damage thanks to her massive resist stacking. The heal and bonus health from Grasp make every point of health much stronger due to those resists.

    After 12 min gain +8 Armor and +8 Magic Resist and increase your Armor and Magic Resist by 3%.

    Why?

    Unflinching

    Gain 6 - 12 (level scaling) Armor and Magic Resist when crowd controlled and for 2 seconds after.

    Why?

    Poppy's biggest pitfall is her **lack of mobility**. She can be a threat to squishy champions if she is able to stick to them. Unflinching's Tenacity/Slow Resist allows you to **dive the backline and stick to them for kill threat**.
