What the Data Means

The headline figure is 60.4%, though it rests on only 106 games on patch 16.13.1 — enough to indicate a direction, not enough to fix a precise value. The mechanical logic behind it is plain: every threat Poppy has requires contact at 125 units, and Kindred fights at 500.

  • Heroic Charge needs a wall behind the target to convert into a stun. Against someone who keeps her distance and repositions with Dance of Arrows, that setup is rarely available.
  • Keeper’s Verdict knocks enemies very far away, which pushes Kindred out of a fight rather than killing her, and her damage does not require holding ground.
  • Steadfast Presence gives armor and magic resist that grow as Poppy’s health falls, plus movement speed on activation, so she is hardest to kill exactly when a hunt needs finishing.
  • Iron Ambassador adds a retrievable shield on top of 610 base health and 35 armor, rising to 2,480 and 120 at level 18.

Kindred’s own frame is lighter at 595 health and 29 armor, ending at 2,363 and 108.9, and she is slower at 325 against Poppy‘s 345. Both deal physical damage, and both are rated moderately demanding at 4 and 6. Lamb’s Respite is the equaliser: nothing inside the zone can die, which cancels the burst window an engage depends on.
