Gangplank
GameplayGangplank is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Reapplying Trial by Fire before a previous application has run out will stack the full damage, instead of refreshing the duration.
- If the attack is dodged or if Gangplank is blinded, the effect is not applied nor does Trial by Fire go on cooldown. If the attack is blocked, the effect is not applied, but Trial by Fire will go on cooldown.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against buildings nor wards.
- Parrrley deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
- On-hit effects that deal damage to secondary targets will allow Parrrley to plunder from enemies killed that way, much like with Powder Kegs.
- Ravenous Hydra, Titanic Hydra and Sunfire Aegis' Flametouch (reapplication corresponding to the attack) work like this and will grant additional plunder from enemies they kill when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance.
- Even spell effects such as Luden's Tempest's Echo will work with this when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance. Spell effects that do not belong to their triggering cast instance, such as Liandry's Anguish's and Demonic Embrace's damage debuffs, do not grant plunder for enemies they kill.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Howling Abyss differences edit
- New Effect: Passively gains 1 Silver Serpent per second.
- Ultra Rapid Fire differences edit
- Silver Serpent generation multiplied by 3.
- Remove Scury does not remove debuffs other than crowd control, even if both occur from the same effect. For example, Remove Scurvy will dispel the slow from Exhaust, but not its damage reduction.
- Remove Scurvy can remove the underlying stun from airborne, but a blink or dash ability is required to override the displacement.
- The triggering attack's damage can include Parrrley's base damage and Spellblade.
- When triggered with critical strike, Spellblade and the bonus damage to champions are added after the calculations, meaning that these effects are not increased by 25%.
- The total damage can be easily calculated with this formula:
{aDMG * [1.75 ( + 0.35)] * 1.25} + sDMG + cDMG
Where:- aDMG = Triggering attack's damage
- sDMG = Spellblade's damage
- cDMG = Bonus damage to champions
- Kegs have special interactions with Spellblade:
- If the keg destroying attack was empowered with Spellblade, its damage will be added to the explosions' damage.
- If the keg was not destroyed, it will consume the effect and the keg will store the damage it would have dealt. If the storing keg is the initial detonation of the chain, it will add its damage to the explosions' damage as it was triggered with Spellblade.
- If the storing keg was attacked with a new instance of Spellblade, it will override the previously stored damage (if different).
- Damage can only be stored if Spellblade was consumed by 'Gangplank.
- The stored damage is static and will not change if Gangplank's base attack damage or ability power (see below) changes.
- Specific Spellblade item interactions:
- Trinity Force: Attacking kegs or dealing damage to champions with the explosion does not increase the base attack damage.
- Divine Sunderer: Explosions always apply the minimum damage of this item and does not apply the heal.
- Lich Bane: The magic damage will be added to the explosions' damage, but will be dealt as physical damage.
- Essence Reaver: Consuming the effect on kegs will restore mana. Explosions does not trigger this.
- Placed barrels do not grant vision until they explode, but they are revealed to Gangplank.
- If Gangplank loses allied vision, for instance due to nearsight, he will also lose vision on his barrels temporarily.
- Barrels prematurely grant sight of their explosion radius (including across terrain and into bushes) if Parrrley or a lit fuse is travelling towards them.
- This area reveal happens even if Parrrley is not going to make it explode.
- This area reveal happens even if
- If Gangplank loses allied vision, for instance due to
- An exploding Powder Keg will splash Parrrley's bonus damage, and will also be modified if the attack critically strikes.
- Attacks against Powder Kegs will apply on-hit effects (such as Tiamat's Cleave), but proc damage against the barrel itself is reduced to 0.
- Damage from on-hit effects will not increase the damage of the explosion.
- Spellblade is a special-cased exception.
- Dead Man's Plate's Crushing Blow will not trigger from Powder Kegs destroyed from Gangplank, even with Parrrley.
- Gangplank stocks Powder Kegs even if the ability hasn't been learned yet.
- This is due to the recharge rate at level 1 being set the same as level 0.
- While at maximum charges, ranking up the ability to rank 3 or 5 grants the remaining charge immediately regardless of the recharge timer.
- Ultra Rapid Fire differences edit
- Keg deterioration speeds up at level 19 to every 0.264 seconds, and at level 25 to every 0.132 seconds.
- Because of they way kegs splash the damage they receive, and lit powder trails dealing the damage from the previous explosion on Gangplank's account, each explosion in a chain factors in the mode-specific balance modifier to Gangplank's damage dealt again.
- As the balance modifier is increasing his damage, this rewards experimenting with unusually long explosion chains.

Abilities
The Powder Keg loses 1 maximum health every 2 / 1 / 0.5 (based on level) seconds (minimum 1 current health).
Gangplank can attack a Powder Keg with basic attacks and
Powder Kegs connect to each other when nearby, and explode when a Powder Keg they are connected to is detonated, though they do not affect enemies hit by one of the previous explosions. | |

As unpredictable as he is brutal, the dethroned reaver king Gangplank is feared far and wide. Once, he ruled the port city of Bilgewater, and while his reign is over, there are those who believe this has only made him more dangerous. Gangplank would see Bilgewater bathed in blood once more before letting someone else take it—and now with pistol, cutlass, and barrels of gunpowder, he is determined to reclaim what he has lost.

Trivia
- Original Gangplank
- During development he was simply called Pirate or Rogal Cheastbeard.
- Gangplank was named after the eponymous disembarkation device.
- Gangplank is voiced by Dennis Collins Johnson, who also voices Heimerdinger and Taric.
- Parrrley being spelled with three R's references the pop culture pirate rendition and how Gangplank ironically negotiates (as per the word's definition) by killing his opponents and plundering them.
- Remove Scurvy references the real-world disease of scurvy, a disease common in sailors caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. The high Vitamin C content in oranges is in turn a tongue-in-cheek way to say that eating them can "remove scurvy".
- NA Summoner 'SantiagoBR' is the creator of the 'But I ate some oranges and it was K' meme.
- During Closed Beta 1 of development, Gangplank didn't have a beard. This was changed in Closed Beta 3. An image of him in this state can be viewed here.
- His secondary role is Support.
- In the now-removed official League of Legends forums, the original icon of Parrrley was used to represent the "Bug Reports" section.
- Gangplank, the Saltwater Scourge
- Gangplank is voiced by Matthew Mercer, who also voices Captain Gangplank and Wolf.
- He became the first champion to:
- Receive two visual updates (the first based on his Chinese artwork and the second based on Burning Tides).
- Have four Classic skins (counting Captain Gangplank before being disabled in-game after 'dying' in Burning Tides).
- Temporarily replace the announcer in every single map.
- One of the scrapped spells tested during Gangplank's visual gameplay update summoned a "pirate Gundam" that fired mid-range cannonballs from its arm and attacked with a miniature version of Unstoppable Force.[2]
