Hello people and welcome. This Guide was made to include as many Gangplank playstyles as I could in one guide. (Except AP)

Skill requirements of each build, from least to most
Best-Plank
Nuke-Plank
Tank-Plank
Bank-Plank

This is the best and most reliable build. You are effective throughout all parts of the game, and this build-path fixes one major issue Gangplank has, and that is earlygame mana.

PROS: Effective throughout all stages of the game, good teamfighting damage, lane sustain, some poke, high damage, somewhat tanky, high mobility.

CONS: Outclassed by top-tiers (Volibear, Dr. Mundo, Jax, Xin Xiao), low CC, not full-tank, Powder Kegs can be farmed by enemies, no engage.

This build should only be considered if your team have a full-tank jungler and maybe a tanky support. This build is basically a midlane assassin build but with crit. (NOTE: This Build Relies completely on your RUNE PAGE, if this is too expensive avoid this build)

PROS: Absurd damage, reliable one-shots, 2nd ADC, AOE crits, can instantly win a teamfight with Powder Kegs.

CONS: Absurdly squishy, difficult laning phase, COMPLETELY RELIANT ON RUNE PAGE, can get one-shotted, useless without a tank on the team.

The key to Bank-Plank is to sustain yourself while endlessly farming. You will get full build faster than everyone else without sacrificing too much to get there.

PROS: Extreme sustain, very hard to fall behind, fast builds, more money for consumables, 11
% crit.

CONS: Weak lategame, mana issues earlygame, very little actual combat runes.

Tank-Plank is a mix of on-hit items and tank stats into a support-esq fighter. You have plenty of damage and still be able to tank for your team.

PROS: High burst damage with tank stats, cleanse to remove lockdown, large amounts of disruption, AOE damage with slows.

CONS: Gets outclassed by hyper-tanks, no hard CC, somewhat expensive build, item reliant.
