Strategy

• Due to Poppy’s tier (and thus her ability), she’s a popular Knight used in conjunction with Sejuani, if Kayle is yet unaquireable and the Knight trait is not the primary strategy, because the other Knight’s abilities don’t have crowd control.
• If Poppy is Level 2 or higher, Keeper’s Verdict has the ability to hit multiple enemies. However, unlike most abilities that are cast in a straight line, it will target the closest enemy and go from there. This opens up the possibility of using it to protect the carries (e.g. from jumping Assassins) in the backline, simply by placing Poppy on one of the flanks next to them.
• Poppy is usually most effective to be used to soak damage up so that the carries in the team can deal their damage. Thus equipping her with defensive items like Thornmail, Warmog’s Armor and Dragon’s Claw

  It is not recommended to give her offensive items, as Champions, who focus on dealing damage, could make much better use of them.

Relations

• Poppy’s belonged to Demacia’s founder and weaponsmith Orlon, who passed it on to her on his deathbed. She is searching for the ‘Hero of Demacia’ meant to wield the hammer (without realizing she is the one).
  • When Orlon passed the hammer to Poppy, he did not specifically identify her as the Hero (or meant to, but died before he could), leading to Poppy’s misunderstanding.
  • Poppy and Kled are notable for being Yordles responsible for helping in building the human civilizations they align themselves with (Demacia and Noxus, respectively).
• Poppy knows about the existence of Lulu and Tristana

  Lulu states that Poppy and Tristana has «a little furrow just above her nose when she gets mad».

• During a Black Mist attack by Viego on a Demacian city, Vayne and Poppy fought side by side against the undead army.

Keeper of the Hammer

As legend describes it, this hero is the only person who can unlock the full power of the hammer and lead Demacia to true greatness. Though Poppy has searched the furthest corners of the kingdom for this legendary fighter, her quest has proven fruitless. Each time she has attempted to pass the hammer on to a potential hero, the results have been disastrous, often ending in the warrior’s death. Most people would have abandoned the task long ago, but most people do not possess the pluck and resolve of this indomitable heroine.

Poppy was once a very different yordle. For as long as she could remember, she had been in search of a purpose. Feeling alienated by the chaotic whimsy of other yordles, she preferred to soak up stability and structure where she could find it. This drive brought her to the human settlements of western Valoran, where she gazed in wonder at the caravans striping the countryside in an endless file. Many of the people there looked tattered and weary, but they stumbled on in pursuit of some ephemeral better life that might lie just beyond the horizon.

One day, however, a different sort of caravan passed through. Unlike the other travelers, these people seemed to move with purpose. They all awoke at exactly the same time each morning, roused by the sound of a watchman’s horn. They took their meals together every day at the same hour, always finishing within a few minutes. They set up their camps and took them down with remarkable efficiency.

While yordles used their innate magic to fashion extraordinary things, these humans achieved equally astounding feats through coordination and discipline. They acted in concert like the cogs of a gear, becoming something much larger and stronger than any single person could ever be. To Poppy, that was more marvelous than all the magic in the world.

As Poppy watched the camp from the safety of her hiding place, her eyes caught the gleam of armor emerging from a tent. It was the group’s commanding officer, wearing a brigandine of gleaming steel plates, each piece overlapping, each an integral part of the whole. The man’s name was Orlon, and his presence seemed to stir the souls of everyone there. If someone became discouraged, he was there to remind them of why they pressed on. If someone collapsed from exhaustion, he inspired them to get up. It reminded Poppy of certain yordle charms, though again, without magic.

Poppy crept in for a closer look. She found herself following this shining commander, as if drawn to him by fate itself. She observed Orlon as he led his soldiers in training exercises. He was not a large fellow, yet he swung his massive battle hammer with surprising alacrity. At night, Poppy listened intently to his hushed discussions with the elders of the camp. She heard them making plans to pull up stakes and head west to build a permanent settlement.

Poppy’s mind was overwhelmed with questions. Where was Orlon going? Where did he come from? How did he assemble this meticulous band of travelers, and was there a place for a yordle in it? At that moment, she made the most important decision in her life: for the first time ever, she would reveal herself to a human, as this was the first time she’d ever felt a connection with one.

The introduction was a jarring one, with Orlon having just as many questions for Poppy as she had for him, but the two soon became inseparable. He became a mentor to her, and she a devotee to his cause. In the training grounds, Poppy was an invaluable sparring partner — the only member of Orlon’s battalion who was unafraid to strike him. She was never obsequious, questioning his decisions with an almost childlike innocence, as though she didn’t know she was supposed to meekly follow orders. She accompanied him to the site of the new settlement — an ambitious new nation called Demacia, where all were welcome, regardless of station or background, so long as they contributed to the good of the whole.

Orlon became a beloved figure throughout the kingdom. Though few had actually seen him wield his hammer, he always bore it on his back, and the weapon quickly became a revered icon for the fledgling nation. People whispered that it had the power to level mountains and tear the earth itself asunder.

Orlon passed the hammer to Poppy on his deathbed, and with it, his hope of an enduring kingdom. It was only then that Orlon told her the story of his weapon’s creation, and how it was never truly intended for his hands. He explained to Poppy that the hammer was meant to go to the Hero of Demacia — the only one who could keep Demacia whole. As her friend drew his last breath, Poppy swore to him that she would find this hero and place the weapon in his hands.

But what Poppy possesses in resolve, she lacks in ego, as it never even occurred to her that she might be the hero Orlon described.

Trivia

• The origin of the word «Yordle» came from a dream that Paul ‘Pabro’ Bellezza had. He had a dream about Yoda and Yaddle from Star Wars, and woke up saying «Yordles».
• Yordles were previously divided into Yordles and Meglings. The yordles were often seen furry in appearance, while the Meglings had blue skin. Since the «Yordle Unification Pass» development project, both sides of the same race have been unified to share similar features.
• While originally envisioned as a human child Amumu has been described as a Yordle for most of his presence in the game. His current state is left intentionally ambiguous, with characters in his lore commenting on the possibility of him being a yordle while others scoff at the idea.
  • Amumu might have been the first and the last Yordle emperor of Ancient Shurima.
  • Yordles have been shown to use a visual transmorgrification charm to look human, which may have a role in the ambiguity of his identity.
• According to a recognition scan made by Vel’Koz, a Yordle’s physiology appears to be «99% fur, 1% glee.»
• Most yordles were listed as rivals to Tahm Kench on
• Some say Yordles know secret ways through Runeterra others cannot perceive.
• Xayah states that Yordles are often erronously thought to be related to the Vastaya, or that humans mistakenly label them as Vastayan.
• Heimerdinger, Rumble and Ziggs are credited for the creation of Mecha Aatrox, Mecha Malphite and Mecha Zero Sion.
• In the comic Paint the Town, it is known that:
  • Yordles are often feared, hunted, and eliminated all across Runeterra.
  • Ziggs and other Yordles are recognized as a Noxian weapon, possibly because of Kled’s participation in the invasion of Ionia.
• There is apparently a high general bounty on Yordles in Bilgewater.
• It is unclear if Yordles are spirits in lore, despite a few champions mentioning them as spirits.

Yordle Unification Pass

By Michael ‘IronStylus’ Maurino

A while back we stated the Yordle Unification Pass of 2014 (The Y.U.P.). This kicked off with Heimerdinger. He followed some unintentional design decisions from Ziggs and Lulu. However, at the same time we sat down to do some comparisons of Yordles as a whole and are touching here and there upon a Yordle style guide of sorts. We haven’t been able to yet to write in stone any hard and fast rules, but we have gotten general aspects decided upon. Such as Yordles needing actual ANATOMY, not just being potatoes with huge heads. Another touching on how we possibly want to explain the furry/non-furry aspects of some Yordles versus others. We’re still scratching our heads on the finer points of that, but we’ve got the informal ideas settled.

Either way, as we crunch along, you’ll see Yordles becoming more coherent as a race, at least from a visual side of things where the Champion Update team is concerned. There are also larger discussions about background and other narrative stuff, but we deal mostly with visuals obviously. As we crank through these characters you’ll see some consistency emerge. We have a couple that are in our sites currently which will be touched on in due time!»

Что происходит в первой главе Poppy Playtime

Присущая куклам жуткость — вот что делает заброшенную фабрику игрушек отличным местом для страшной игры. В первой главе ужасного приключения Мак игры, вы бывший сотрудник Playtime Co., посещающий фабрику игрушек спустя годы после того, как все сотрудники внезапно исчезли. Похоже, это плохая идея! Тебе действительно стоит позволить спящим куклам лежать. Поверьте мне.

Ознакомьтесь с отличным введением в игру ниже. Что-то в старой колючей кассете VHS идеально подходит для создания жуткого настроения куклы, которая может разговаривать с детьми.

С другой стороны, вам не нужно рассматривать все игрушки как врагов. У вас есть собственные игрушки, которые помогут вам, когда вы начнете исследовать и решать головоломки на темной и жуткой фабрике. GrabPack — это набор игрушечных рук, которые вы можете привязать к себе, которые действуют как симпатичные крючки для захвата. Щелкните мышью, и ваша большая пластиковая рука будет метаться по комнате и зацепиться за что-нибудь. Щелкните еще раз, и он вернет его обратно.

Вы используете их, чтобы тянуть за ручки и рычаги, и даже можете схватиться за узел питания и растянуть наручные шнуры, чтобы замкнуть электрическую цепь, что полезно на заводе, который был закрыт в течение десяти лет. Как вы могли догадаться, просто включение света и запуск оборудования требует некоторой работы.

И, конечно, вы не одиноки. Собирая свой GrabPack и углубляясь в коридоры и офисы Playtime, вы заметите возвышающегося, ухмыляющегося часового по имени Хагги Вугги, стоящего на страже фабрики. Хагги Вагги большой, милый и пушистый, и я его ненавижу, у него широкая дружелюбная улыбка, и он абсолютный кошмар, он пушистый и милый, и хочет крепко тебя обнять! Крепкое объятие. Я бы не советовал ему позволять это.

Эта первая глава Poppy Playtime, названная A Tight Squeeze, довольно короткая, и я думаю, вы сможете пройти ее примерно за час. Головоломки не слишком сложны, и они недостаточно используют ваши крутые руки GrabPack, но их все равно приятно решать, особенно когда вы ползаете по фабрике в ожидании какой-нибудь ужасной вещи. Даже зная, что это должно было случиться, это напугало меня до смерти, когда это произошло. Мне не нравится здесь, в Playtime Co. И все же я определенно заинтересован вернуться, когда выйдут новые главы.

Ты можешь найти Poppy Playtime в Steam, а первая глава стоит пять костей.

The Arsenal: Forging Poppy’s Hammer

By Rumtumtummers

Reworking Poppy was a chance to tune up her biggest, baddest character elements while giving her completely new play patterns. We knew the , her signature weapon, would be critical in solidifying her refreshed identity; like Jinx’s , Nautilus’ , or Riven’s , Poppy’s hammer is an integral part of both her kit and her personality. We had to get it right for both to ring true.

In short, it was hammer time.

Small character; big impact

Poppy’s original and were designed to fit her small stature. «Before, Poppy had a Yordle hammer and a Yordle shield», explains concept artist Gem Lim. «But we wanted to do more with it.» The team realized that by choosing one primary item for Poppy to wield and over-emphasizing it, they could create a champion with a silhouette and style different from any other champion in League. «Instead of equal attention for the hammer and shield, we toned the down and made the ginormous», says Gem. «What struck me the most about Poppy was this sense of disproportionate power. She’s a small character who does big things. The hammer should communicate that.»

ChampUp played with several hammer designs while working on the Poppy update

Poppy’s new champion-smasher wasn’t custom-made to fit her; it’s a regular-sized hammer she wields with incredible power. «The new hammer is more than a weapon», Gem says. «Its humongous size contributes to her silhouette and her movement. No champion moves like her. When you see her swing that hammer, it’s so different from Sion with his or Garen with his .» Senior narrative writer John O’Bryan adds, «It’s almost like she puts all of herself into every swing.» The new hammer design contributed to Poppy’s new and each of her re-tuned abilities.

Gem emphasizes the idea of a tiny character packing a big punch: «We want people to feel that crazy disproportionate power. Like, ‘Oh, look at the cute little— ouch!’ It’s over-the-top and unexpected.»

A hero’s journey

Poppy’s hammer is an important part of her personal journey. ‘A Hero’s Calling’, which offers players a glimpse into Poppy’s world, is centered on the hammer and what it means to her. O’Bryan elaborates, «Even she doesn’t think it’s hers. She thinks it’s a tool for someone else.» Scaling the hammer to make it a normal hammer size helps emphasize the idea that Poppy doesn’t necessarily believe the hammer is hers to wield, that somewhere in the world is a hero meant to carry it. The hammer existed long before Poppy took possession of it.

Poppy’s hammer has hints of Demacia and a human-sized scale

Though she’s been carrying the hammer for a long, long time, Poppy hasn’t yet realized that she’s what gives the hammer its strength. O’Bryan explains, «If you were to ask Poppy, she would probably think she’s nothing special. Everything she’s doing is because of this hammer she’s carrying around. But really, it’s all coming from her.» Players know one thing Poppy doesn’t: the hammer is right where it needs to be.

The immovable object

Poppy’s new weapon is meant to emphasize core elements of her personality. «She’s purposeful», says O’Bryan. «Nothing can stop her; if you knock her down, she’s going to keep getting back up.» The team behind the Poppy update wanted to give a sense of solidity to Poppy, the idea that to get to Poppy’s team, enemies have to go through her. «When others run away, Poppy runs forward», says Gem. «She’s indomitable.»

The hammer is a symbol of Poppy’s strength, her unflinching dedication to her task, and her worldview. «Poppy doesn’t think of herself as a small character», O’Bryan says, «because she really isn’t.» Gem says, «She’s the pebble you thought you could kick, but couldn’t. There’s no one like her.»

Culture

“	«Yordles are the reason no-one takes us Vastaya seriously.»
— Xayah

The Yordle race have innate magic within them which helps them achieve extraordinary things usually impossible for someone of their stature. Also, they require far more social interaction with their own kind than humans do. They generally are a peaceful and amicable race, often marked with streaks of joviality and light prankishness; their moral compass is most often pointed toward goodness and benevolence. Their desire for social interaction drives them toward this ethos, as the mental health of a yordle is very much dependent on the positive company he or she keeps. This does not mean, however, that they are incapable of cruelty and evil. In fact, a yordle who is kept in isolation for too long – especially from contact with other yordles – runs the risk of becoming withdrawn and sullen. Some who already are centered more toward malevolence will become exceedingly so in due course. These yordles will often twist their desire for social interaction into a desire to seek out others to inflict pain and suffering upon them, one extreme example being Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil. Yordles are attracted to Runeterra cultures and enjoy manifesting around certain human ideals.
