Trial passive allows Gangplank to occasionally deal bonus true damage on basic attacks and abilities, serving as a powerful trading tool.

Parrrley (Q) lets Gangplank shoot his target, dealing damage and applying on-hit effects. On kill, you earn bonus gold.

Remove Scurvy (W) heals Gangplank and removes crowd control effects, providing important sustain and safety.

Powder Keg (E) places explosive barrels that can be detonated for area damage, slowing enemies and ignoring part of their armor. Chain multiple kegs for devastating combos.

Cannon Barrage (R) fires waves of cannonballs anywhere on the map, damaging and slowing enemies caught in the barrage.

Core Build Path

Starting Items:

• Corrupting Potion for sustain

1. Trinity Force (First major item for Sheen synergy)
2. Infinity Edge (Critical strike damage)
3. Navori Quickblades (Ability haste)

Optimal Skill Order E > Q > Q > W > Q > R > Q > E > Q > E > R > E > E > W > W > R > W > W

Early Game Tips

• Start E for better lane presence
• Use Q to last hit minions and harass enemy
• Place barrels strategically to zone enemies
• Save W for escaping ganks or heavy trades
• Farm safely until Trinity Force

Mid-Late Game Strategy

• Set up barrel chains before objectives
• Split push with global ult pressure
• Position carefully in teamfights
• Target priority: Squishies > Tanks
• Watch for flank opportunities with barrels

Gangplank rewards mastery through precise barrel placement and positioning. Focus on farming early, scale with crit items, and practice barrel combos to maximize his devastating late game potential.
