Edit

Innate: Periodically, Gangplank empowers his next basic attack to set the target on fire, dealing them「 50 − 250 (based on level) (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 2 per 1% critical strike chance) bonus true damage over 2.5 seconds. 」「 5 − 25 (based on level) (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 0.2 per 1% critical strike chance) bonus true damage every 0.25 seconds over 2.5 seconds. 」 Turrets are dealt 50% damage.

If Gangplank successfully hits a target with Trial by Fire, he gains 15% − 30% (based on level) bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. Every time a Powder Keg explodes, the cooldown for Trial by Fire resets and Gangplank gains its bonus movement speed.

Trial by Fire cannot be applied with Parrrley nor Powder Keg.

Reapplying Trial by Fire before a previous application has run out will stack the full damage, instead of refreshing the duration.
The bonus true damage scaling based on critical strike chance is capped at 100% of the stat.
If the attack is dodged or if Gangplank is blinded, the effect is not applied nor does Trial by Fire go on cooldown. If the attack is blocked, the effect is not applied, but Trial by Fire will go on cooldown.
The empowered attack will not trigger against non- turret structures nor wards.

Edit

Active: Gangplank fires a shot at the target enemy that deals physical damage and applies on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness as a ranged attack. Parrrley can critically strike for (175% + 50%) total damage.

Physical Damage:: 10 / 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 (+ 100% AD)

If Parrrley kills the target, Gangplank plunders gold and Silver Serpents. Each enemy killed by a Powder Keg explosion that was originally set off by Parrrley also counts for the plunder.

Gold Plunder:: 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

Silver Serpent Plunder:: 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Silver Serpents can be spent in the shop to upgrade Cannon Barrage.

Parrrley deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
On-hit effects that deal damage to secondary targets will allow Parrrley to plunder from enemies killed that way, much like with Powder Kegs.
- Ravenous Hydra and Titanic Hydra work like this and will grant additional plunder from enemies they kill when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance.
- Even spell effects such as Luden's Companion will work with this when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance. Spell effects that do not belong to their triggering cast instance, such as Liandry's Torment's damage debuff, do not grant plunder for enemies they kill.

If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

Howling Abyss differences ^edit

New Effect: Passively gains 1 Silver Serpent per second.

Ultra Rapid Fire differences ^edit

Silver Serpent generation multiplied by 3.

Arena differences ^edit

New Effect: Now grants gold and Silver Serpents equal to 7% of damage dealt to champions.
New Effect: Gains 187.5 Silver Serpents per round.

Edit

Active: Gangplank consumes a large quantity of citrus fruit, cleansing himself from all crowd control and healing himself.

Heal:: 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 (+ 90% AP) (+ 13% missing health)

Remove Scury does not remove debuffs other than crowd control, even if both occur from the same effect. For example, Remove Scurvy will dispel the slow from Exhaust, but not its damage reduction.
Remove Scurvy can remove the underlying stun from airborne, but a blink or dash ability is required to override the displacement.

Edit

Active: Gangplank consumes a charge to place a powder keg at the target location that lasts for 25 seconds and will connect to other kegs with overlapping connection radius through a trail of black powder. The keg starts with 3 health and loses 1 every 2 / 1 / 0.5 (based on level) seconds until it is left with 1 health.

Gangplank periodically stocks a Powder Keg charge, up to a maximum.

Maximum charges:: 3 / 3 / 4 / 4 / 5

Kegs can be basic attacked by enemies or Gangplank (including his Parrrley), dealing 1 damage to it. When an enemy destroys it, it is safely defused. When Gangplank destroys it, it explodes and also triggers a chain reaction that explodes other nearby connected kegs with a 0.33 seconds-delay between explosions. The explosions also grant sight of their radiuses for 2 seconds.

Enemies caught in an explosion are slowed for 2 seconds, and are dealt the triggering attack's damage, dealing bonus physical damage against champions. Each enemy can only be hit once per chain and the damage dealt ignores 40% of the target's armor.

Slow:: 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60% (+ 0% − 25% (based on critical strike chance)

Bonus Champion Damage:: 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195

If the triggering attack was a critical strike, the explosions deal 5% more damage on top of the critical damage.

The triggering attack's damage can include Parrrley's base damage and Spellblade.
When triggered with critical strike, Spellblade and the bonus damage to champions are added after the calculations, meaning that these effects are not increased by 5%.
The total damage can be easily calculated with this formula:
{aDMG * [1.75 ( + 0.45)] * 1.05} + sDMG + cDMG
Where:
- aDMG = Triggering attack's damage
- sDMG = Spellblade's damage
- cDMG = Bonus damage to champions
Kegs have special interactions with Spellblade:
- If the keg destroying attack was empowered with Spellblade, its damage will be added to the explosions' damage.
- If the keg was not destroyed, it will consume the effect and the keg will store the damage it would have dealt. If the storing keg is the initial detonation of the chain, it will add its damage to the explosions' damage as if it was triggered with Spellblade.
- If the storing keg was attacked with a new instance of Spellblade, it will override the previously stored damage (if different).
- Damage can only be stored if Spellblade was consumed by Gangplank.
- The stored damage is static and will not change if Gangplank's base attack damage or ability power (see below) changes.
Specific Spellblade item interactions:
- Trinity Force: Attacking kegs or dealing damage to champions with the explosion does not increase the base attack damage.
- Lich Bane: The magic damage will be added to the explosions' damage, but will be dealt as physical damage.
- Essence Reaver: Consuming the effect on kegs will restore mana. Explosions does not trigger this.
Placed barrels do not grant vision until they explode, but they are revealed to Gangplank.
- If Gangplank loses allied vision, for instance due to nearsight, he will also lose vision on his barrels temporarily.
- Barrels prematurely grant sight of their explosion radius (including across terrain and into bushes) if Parrrley or a lit fuse is travelling towards them.
  - This area reveal happens even if Parrrley is not going to make it explode.
An exploding Powder Keg will splash Parrrley's bonus damage, and will also be modified if the attack critically strikes.
Attacks against Powder Kegs will apply on-hit effects (such as Tiamat's Cleave), but proc damage against the barrel itself is reduced to 0.
- Damage from on-hit effects will not increase the damage of the explosion.
- Spellblade is a special-cased exception.
Dead Man's Plate's Crushing Blow will not trigger from Powder Kegs destroyed from Gangplank, even with Parrrley.
Gangplank stocks Powder Kegs even if the ability hasn't been learned yet.
- This is due to the recharge rate at level 1 being set the same as level 0.
- While at maximum charges, ranking up the ability to rank 3 or 5 grants the remaining charge immediately regardless of the recharge timer.
If a barrel is destroyed during the 0.33 seconds-delay between explosions, Gangplank will plunder gold and Silver Serpents upon killing enemies as if he had done so using Parrrley.^(bug)
- This effect persists through death and will only end upon killing an enemy with Parrrley.

Ultra Rapid Fire differences ^edit

Keg deterioration speeds up at level 19 to every 0.264 seconds, and at level 25 to every 0.132 seconds.

Edit

Active: Gangplank shoots a flare into the air, signaling his ship off-shore to fire upon the target location for 8 seconds, calling down 12 waves of cannonballs in clusters of 3 every 2 seconds, and granting sight of the area for the duration. Each wave deals magic damage to all enemies within the area and slows them by 30% for 0.5 seconds.

Magic Damage Per Wave:: 40 / 70 / 100 (+ 10% AP)
Magic Damage Per Cluster:: 120 / 210 / 300 (+ 30% AP)

Total Magic Damage:: 480 / 840 / 1200 (+ 120% AP)

Gangplank can purchase upgrades for his ship in the store at the cost of 500 Silver Serpents each, which improve Cannon Barrage:

Death's Daughter: A large cannonball lands in the center of the barrage after the first cluster of waves occur, dealing a cluster's worth of true damage to enemies within the impact and slowing them by 75% for 1 second.

True Damage with Death's Daughter:: 120 / 210 / 300 (+ 30% AP)

Total Mixed Damage with Death's Daughter:: 600 / 1050 / 1500 (+ 150% AP)

Fire at Will: Cannon Barrage fires「 6 additional waves 」「 2 additional clusters 」 over its duration; 18 waves of cannonballs are called down in clusters of 3 every 1.33 seconds.

Total Magic Damage with Fire at Will:: 720 / 1260 / 1800 (+ 180% AP)

Maximum Mixed Total Damage with Fire at Will and Death's Daughter:: 840 / 1470 / 2100 (+ 210% AP)

Raise Morale: Cannon Barrage grants Gangplank and all allies within the area 40% bonus movement speed, lingering for 2 seconds.

▶️ "Volley fire!"

Cannon Barrage's slow lingers for 0.25 seconds after affected enemies leave the target area.

Fire in the Hole

Gangplank can attack a Powder Keg with basic attacks and Parrrley. If he destroys it, the keg no longer grants kill gold but instead explodes, inflicting the triggering strike upon all nearby enemies, ignoring 40% of their armor, slowing them by 30 / 37.5 / 45 / 52.5 / 60% (+ 0% − 25% (based on critical strike chance) for 2 seconds, dealing 75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195 bonus physical damage to enemy champions and applying spell effects as area damage. Magic damage effects are not applied. If Gangplank destroys a Powder Keg with Parrrley then every enemy killed by the Powder Keg will also be plundered and grants him Silver Serpents as if he had killed them with the initial ability.

Powder Trail

Powder Kegs connect to each other when nearby, and explode when a Powder Keg they are connected to is detonated, though they do not affect enemies hit by one of the previous explosions.

As unpredictable as he is brutal, the dethroned reaver king Gangplank is feared far and wide. Once, he ruled the port city of Bilgewater, and while his reign is over, there are those who believe this has only made him more dangerous. Gangplank would see Bilgewater bathed in blood once more before letting someone else take it—and now with pistol, cutlass, and barrels of gunpowder, he is determined to reclaim what he has lost.

Trivia

Original Gangplank

During development he was simply called Pirate or Rogal Cheastbeard.
Gangplank was named after the eponymous disembarkation device.
Gangplank is voiced by Dennis Collins Johnson, who also voices Heimerdinger and Taric.
Parrrley being spelled with three R's references the pop culture pirate rendition and how Gangplank ironically negotiates (as per the word's definition) by killing his opponents and plundering them.
Remove Scurvy references the real-world disease of scurvy, a disease common in sailors caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. The high Vitamin C content in oranges is in turn a tongue-in-cheek way to say that eating them can "remove scurvy".
NA Summoner 'SantiagoBR' is the creator of the 'But I ate some oranges and it was K' meme.
During Closed Beta 1 of development, Gangplank didn't have a beard. This was changed in Closed Beta 3. An image of him in this state can be viewed here.
His secondary role is Support.
In the now-removed official League of Legends forums, the original icon of Parrrley was used to represent the "Bug Reports" section.

Gangplank, the Saltwater Scourge

Gangplank is voiced by Matthew Mercer, who also voices Captain Gangplank and Wolf.
He became the first champion to:
1. Receive two visual updates (the first based on his Chinese artwork and the second based on Burning Tides).
2. Have four Classic skins (counting Captain Gangplank before being disabled in-game after 'dying' in Burning Tides).
3. Temporarily replace the announcer in every single map.
One of the scrapped spells tested during Gangplank's visual gameplay update summoned a "pirate Gundam" that fired mid-range cannonballs from its arm and attacked with a miniature version of Unstoppable Force.^[2]
