Destroying a Power Keg refreshes this cooldown and grants Gangplank the same movement speed.
Gangplank can spend Silver Serpents in the shop to upgrade Cannon Barrage.
Keg health decays every 2 / 1 / 0.5 seconds. Keg explosions detonate other kegs with overlapping blast zones, but don't deal damage to the same target more than once. Keg explosions triggered by Parrrley will grant the bonus gold for targets killed.
This ability can be upgraded in the shop via Parrrley.
