This is top lane GP. I haven't jungle with GP since his rework.

You can build him either tanky or a glass cannon.

Some COMMON items you start with GP can be: Boots + 3 Pot or Cloth + 5 Pot

Go with cloth if you're going against another AD champ. If AP champ then go with boots.

Items to get:

GP5 (If you want them but you don't have to get GP5): Hog (Omen is a nice item), Philo Stone (Builds into Shurelia but he has an E already that gives an AoE movement speed), Avarice Blade (Youmu is not good on GP but you can get just for the lols).

Mercury Treads (If there are lots of CC), Ninja Tabi (If there are lots of AD enemy or just want to be tanky against AD laner), Wriggles (Sustain), Atmas + Warmog (Main item, this gives ad, armor, crit, health, & health regen), Triforce (If you want), IE (Only if you're fed) + PD (Only if you're fed and want to go overkill), Force of Nature (Tank item gives MR and lots of health regen), Omen (Get the Hog early if you want this), Frozen Heart (Very good armor but don't get if som1 else will get it),

When getting tank items just look at the enemy team and see what seems as a threat. If they have a fed Vayne then go for armor like (Atmas, Frozen Heart, Omen). Or lots of AP ect go with (FoN, Banshee)

Items to not really bother with: Thornmail (Only get if the enemy team is really heavy in AD like all of them), Sunfire cape (Just not a very good armor item)

Runes: Can be flat Armor Pen/AD Marks & Quints (whichever you like) The AD runes are good for early game and Armor Pen is better throughout the game.

For yellows and blues can be flat armor and magic resistance per lv. If you know who you're laning against then get the runes accordingly. If going against an AP champ get flat MR. If going against an AD champ get flat Armor.

Skill order: Always get Q and R whenever avaiable. Get E once you can't level Q. Get W once you can't level Q again and you already have already level E once. Afterwards max R>Q>E>W for the rest of the levels.

How to lane with GP: Q the enemy champ whenever possible. Farm. If they come close within range again Q them. Farm. Getting CC? just W and E then run. Look around for whoever needs your ULT. And more farm.
