Sg Poppy Familiar, Where?

TheMothPrince·Oct 5, 2016·1 votes·1,415 views

At least I think that's what they are called. I didn't see many videos on it, and I wasn't in the PBE at all to check out this patch, but I'm wondering the reason Poppy didn't not have one of these little creatures with her, it seemed her passive would make perfect for this design, but there were other problems as well. Was it time restraint, or something that would interfere with design? Just wondering about that. B/c these details make the skins so much better, and (Since I'm going to buy it anyways.) much more worth the price.

It's supposed to be The Hammer of Orlon as her familiar if memory serves.

Oh, I assumed it was a joke from twitter. Not that the weapons were sentient or anything like that. I just felt her passive would have been perfect for this design choice. And I was wondering if it was overlooked, or there was more to it.

You want the daunting, hardworking, "get shit done" guardian to throw her familiar callously at the enemy and then pick it off the ground, so she can throw'em again?

Yes.

(That's kinda what the rest of them do anyways, and who says they have to be innocently adorable..)

Janna doesn't throw Zephyr. Zephyr flies out itself and immediately pops back up unharmed.

Jinx at least has playful conversation with her familiars. While what she says seems taunting towards them, at least she doesn't physically abuse them.

And Pix is well. Pix does PIx things.

So no. Not the same thing. Don't make me call P.E.T.F

All right, not going to abuse the fluffy things. Just wondering what could have been, here.

Have you seen Jinx's dance?

That depends on the familiar. Some of them deserve to be thrown around and stomped on.

Poppy and Lux are too orderly to have a familiar. Only Charismatic/Chaos members have familiars.

I always felt that Poppy was a very curious type. Lux, I felt she didn't have one just because the idea might not have been there at the time, being that she was the only one with a skin. Although this may have been a part of why she doesn't have one.

The Orderly thing is literally on the Star Guardian site in the character profile sheets.

(Referring to her in game as a character BTW) Not really sure how it connects with whether or not they have a familiar, but again, it could be a possibility.

The theory is that the more chaotic members of the star guardians get familiars to keep them in check. Hence why Jinx the most chaotic one has 2 familiars.

But yeah i guess the real reason is that they simply didn't find a way to make a fitting for poppy. Sure you mentioned her shield could have been a possibility,but her shield is always this shimmering gold color,so it would have been barely visible anyway.

That actually makes a lot more sense. Although I wish there was a canon reason give, or that there was a time restraint or issue with poppy having one, but the skin looks great and the particles are much better. So I can't complain.
