Introduction

Still in development!



Hello my fellow sea lovers.
In this guide I am going to be teaching you about Gangplank. He is the king of the wide open water. We will be learning how to use him in dual laning situations, in solo laning situations, and in Jungling situations. But first we must learn the fundamentals of the one and only Gangplank.

Fundamentals

These are the basic ideas that apply to all areas before we break them up and talk about the seperately.

  • Parrrley is your most important ability and should be used at any time it is up and you have an enemy near by.
  • Remove Scurvy should be used when slowed and trying to get away, and/or when you are fighting something and you think you have a chance of beating it if you have a little more health(This would be a good situation for Raise Morale as well.)
  • Raise Morale should be used before every fight possible.
  • Cannon Barrage[Ultimate] is not, I repeat, is not, to be used on anything other than enemy champions.

Pre-Game Information

Okay now that we have learned the fundamentals of Gangplank, lets get into some pre-game information.

Masteries


Offensive- We took this as our main tree for one reason, we want to max out Gangplank's offensive damage. In Offensive we took basically everything that would help us do more damage, and have our summoner spells work better.

Defensive- No Masteries in here.

Utility- We took this as our off tree because we want the reduced recall time, the reduced time spent dead, and the extra little movement speed.

Runes



Marks
I chose all 9 marks to be Greater Mark of Critical Damage. This is because critical damage is very important on gangplank, as he relies on criticals from Parrrley.

Seals
I chose the Seals to be Greater Seal of Attack Speed. This is to help you attack faster(Derp!) and, in turn, do more damage. This is especially helpful with Gangplank because your basic attacks are your main damage when Parrrley is not up.

Glyphs
I chose the Glyphs to be Greater Glyph of Critical Damage. For the same reason I chose my marks to be furor.

Quintessences
These are simply to make you crit more often.

Lobby Information

Champion


I think we all know I am going to say use Gangplank.

Summoner Spells



Recommended



- I recommend Ignite to finish people off when they are running, or both of you are at low health.

- I recommend Exhaust to slow down enemies while chasing, and for if you think the might run.

Other Options



- Smite would be used for jungling, nothing else.

- Teleport would be used if you wanted to get to lane quicker, I don't find this necessary.

- Ghost would be used to run away/enter a battle quicker.

- Flash would be used to do the same thing as ghost except it teleports you a certain distance.

Completely not viable


Clarity

Heal

Cleanse

Clairvoyance

In-Game Information

Items



Phantom Dancer- This is used for the attack speed and critical strike mainly. This is one of the most important items in your build because it allows you to hit so quickly.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity- These are used for the obvious movement speed and also the cooldown reduction is very useful.

Infinity Edge- This is probably your most useful item because it gives you 80 attack damage(which contributes directly to Parrrley.It also gives you the critical strike chance, and the 250% crit damage instead of 200%

Bloodthirster- This is your second most useful items as it gives you 60 attack damage and 15% lifesteal.
