Poppy | XP Midrange | Deck Guide

Poppy is a Body/Order XP midrange deck built around generating experience while fighting for stable battlefield positions. Whenever you hold, the Legend gains 1 XP; you can spend 3 XP and exhaust her to draw a card, turning repeated holds into a long-term value engine.

Early game: Start building XP with Demacian Diplomat and Enthralling Protector. The Protector gains XP through Hunt and can spend XP to buff itself, while Shepherd's Heirloom adds another XP-focused utility piece. Punch First, Grim Resolve and Ki Barrier help your early units survive the combats that generate your advantage.

Mid game: Master Yi, Tempered becomes one of your strongest XP engines, gaining 2 XP whenever he conquers or holds and unlocking Deflect and Ganking at Level 6. First Mate provides another action by readying a unit, while Challenge and Keeper's Verdict help you control opposing threats. Your goal is to keep scoring or holding without spending XP faster than you generate it.

Late game: Poppy, Paragon can provide an immediate XP boost when the opponent approaches victory, while Rengar, Trophy Hunter and Vi, Peacekeeper give you reactive ways to contest important battlefields. Use the Legend's card draw to keep your hand stocked, then turn accumulated XP, combat tricks and mobility into the final points.
