Introduction
Gangplank build guide of a different color!I'm Gramps Tewks, bringing you grog-soaked Buccaneer strategy goodness direct from Tortuga.
Here's some barnacled genius (!) from the Muppets, and the namesake of this guide:
As always, kudos to the incomparable JhoiJhoi for the template, which you can find here.
And now, Onwards- for glory, scurvy, and plunder!!

,
Sunder
, The Brutalizer, and Runes = 50 Armor Pen :O
-
Deadliness
and

Summoner Spells
|
Clarity: With the quick 40% CDR from this build, Remove Scurvy, Parrrley, and Cannon Barrage are hilariously spammable! You need mana to fuel the madness. It's a FULL REFILL all game long! |
space |
Clairvoyance: Target your Cannon Barrages in the fog of war and be an awesome team player in general!
|
Due to
Gangplank's extreme utility from Grog Soaked Blade (mini- Ignite and Exhaust) and Raise Morale ( Ghost), his combat performance really doesn't suffer if you forgo the Offensive Spells.Take 'em if ya like 'em, but I've found the Utility of
Clairvoyance and Clarity to be much more powerful.
Skill Discussion
-
Grog-Soaked Blade: Mini- Ignite and Exhaust for free?!?
-
Parrrley (Q): Flintlock pistol with infinite ammo. Here's what you get:
- Amazing harass and last-hits!
- Excessive stacks of cash!
- Applies your Passive....
- It CRITICAL HITS
-
Remove Scurvy (W): When used correctly, Remove Scurvy is rage-worthy!
Cleanse Warwick's Ultimate (for example) and enjoy the fireworks.
-
Raise Morale (E): Sweet Damage and the Movement Speed of Zeal in your pocket. Share with your Pirate friends for even more fun during teamfights!
-
Cannon Barrage (R): Ridiculous with 40% CDR from Ionian Boots of Lucidity, etc.
Fight-winning cannons every minute are Unbelievably Powerful!
Skill Sequence
Parrrley is far and away your first skill to max: Gold, Damage, foolishness, etc.Level
Raise Morale and Remove Scurvy together for maximum utility! Cannon Barrage falls at Level 6, 11, and 16.
Items
- philosopher's stone +
