User-written champion tips
Beta
Use 'Electrocute' to maximise damage, as it is easily triggered by your Q and basic attacks. Focus on applying pressure in lane rather than just roaming for chimes or standing behind your ADC. Your ultimate requires high precision, so practice your timing to avoid misusing it in team fights.

Tip

Keep in mind that Poppy can stun you with Heroic Charge (E) when you are trying to pass through terrain with Magical Journey [E]. Punish Poppy in lane as she lacks ranged skills except for her Iron Ambassador (P). Poppy is slowed when she is charging up her Keeper’s Verdict (R), making her an easy target to freeze with Tempered Fate [R].
