Poppy Item Build
CRIT LOADOUT · POPPYPoppy wins duels by refusing to leave them, since Valiant Fighter shaves down the biggest hits and Paragon of Demacia hardens her with each trade. Heroic Charge pins targets against walls, Diplomatic Immunity shuts out everyone but her chosen opponent, and her top build hits through Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer.
This is the primary top lane Poppy, built for critical strike damage. Paragon of Demacia (W) stacks armor and damage as she trades basic attacks, so attack speed items keep those stacks up. Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer and Statikk Shiv add critical chance and critical damage. Trinity Force adds a Spellblade hit after Devastating Blow (Q), and Blade of the Ruined King adds life steal and damage based on current health.

Primary roleTop LanePoppy Top Build
This is the primary top lane Poppy, built for critical strike damage.On the board
Crit Poppy Build
CritCrit Poppy turns every basic attack exchange into armor and damage, because 
Paragon of Demacia stacks on hits she deals or takes and holds up to ten stacks for five seconds.
Infinity Edge sits first in the core, so her crits land at 250% damage, and 
Phantom Dancer follows with attack speed that keeps those stacks topped up while she stays in the trade. 
Valiant Fighter halves any single hit worth more than 10% of her current health, which is why she can afford to stand there swinging.
Trinity Force comes third and pays off 
Devastating Blow, the first max, since the attack after any cast deals bonus damage. 
Statikk Shiv and 
Blade of The Ruined King round out the build, while 
Ninja Tabi blunt the basic attacks she chooses to trade into. 
Teleport brings her back into fights, and 
Heroic Charge stays last, saved for a wall stun.
