A level-by-level game plan for Poppy vs Elise.

Levels 1-2

Your clear order and first camp decide tempo — track the enemy jungler's likely path.

  • Poppy should soak poke and hold lane priority through durability, not even trades.
  • Elise is usually weak before level 3 — this is your best window to punish them.
  • OP.GG data flags Poppy as a strong counter to Elise in this role — you can afford to lean into trades early.

Levels 3-5

First gank windows open. Prioritize lanes with a lead-friendly matchup and reliable CC.

  • Look for CC chains that let your jungler or teammates punish overextensions.
  • Watch for a burst combo the moment you're caught out of position past the minion wave.

Level 6

Ultimates come online map-wide — expect the first real skirmishes around objectives.

  • Your ultimate usually turns you into a real engage or peel threat — use it on your terms.
  • From level 6 on, Elise can delete squishy targets — don't walk into brush without vision.

Levels 7-11

Objective control becomes the main scoreboard — track enemy jungler position at all times.

  • Front line for your team around objectives so your carries can output freely.
  • Expect roams onto your mid or jungler rather than a straight lane fight — ward flanks.

Levels 12-15

Your itemization decides whether you're a skirmisher, teamfighter, or split-push threat.

  • Tank items complete — you should be nearly unkillable while still landing your CC.
  • Once burst items complete, they can kill most targets in one combo — respect their range.

Level 16+

Baron and late objectives decide the game — vision matters more than mechanics now.

  • You start most teamfights and decide their shape — landing your engage matters most.
  • Play around picks — Elise wants to isolate a target before the fight actually starts.
