Trial by Fire

STATIC COOLDOWN: 15

	Innate: Gangplank periodically empowers his next basic attack to burn the target, dealing them「 5.5 − 22.5 (based on level) (+ 10% bonus AD)  bonus true damage every 0.25 seconds over 2.5 seconds. 」「 55 − 225 (based on level) (+ 100% bonus AD)  bonus true damage over 2.5 seconds. 」 Turrets receive 50% reduced damage.
	If Gangplank successfully hits a target with Trial by Fire, he gains  30% bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. Every time a Powder Keg explodes, the  cooldown for Trial by Fire resets and Gangplank gains its  bonus movement speed.
	Trial by Fire cannot be applied with Parrrley nor Powder Keg.

Notes

• Unlike most damage over time debuffs, reapplying Trial by Fire before a previous application has run out will stack the full damage, instead of just refreshing the duration.
• PENDING FOR TEST: Interaction with parries ( dodge, block, and blind).
  • If the attack is dodged, the effect is not applied nor does Trial by Fire go on cooldown.

Edit

Parrrley

TARGET RANGE: 625 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 60 / 55 / 50 / 45 / 40 Mana COOLDOWN: 5

	Active: Gangplank shoots the target enemy with his pistol, dealing them physical damage upon the bullet's arrival and applying on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness.	Physical Damage: 20 / 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 (+ 100% AD)
	Parrrley can critically strike for (75% +  35%) AD bonus physical damage.
	If Parrrley kills the target, Gangplank plunders gold and Silver Serpents, the latter of which can be spent to upgrade Cannon Barrage.	Gold Plunder: 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Silver Serpent Plunder: 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Notes

• Parrrley deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 spell damage.
• On-hit effects that deal area of effect damage will allow Parrrley to plunder from every enemy killed. This includes enemies killed by Gangplank's Powder Kegs when activated by Parrrley.

Map-Specific Differences

Howling Abyss differences ^edit

Remove Scurvy

CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 Mana COOLDOWN: 22 / 20 / 18 / 16 / 14

Active: Gangplank consumes a large quantity of citrus fruit, cleansing himself from all crowd control and healing himself.

Heal: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 (+ 90% AP) (+ 15% missing health)

Notes

• 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.

Edit

Powder Keg

TARGET RANGE: 1000 EFFECT RADIUS: 325 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 1 Charge STATIC COOLDOWN: 0.5 RECHARGE: 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 / 10

	Passive: Gangplank periodically stocks a Powder Keg, up to a maximum of 3.
	Active: Gangplank places a Powder Keg at the target location for 25 seconds, which connects to other nearby Powder Kegs with overlapping explosion radius.
	Gangplank and his enemies can attack the Powder Keg with basic attacks, dealing 1 damage per hit. Gangplank may also shoot the barrel with Parrrley. If Gangplank scores the killing blow, it explodes, also triggering a chain reaction that explodes nearby connected kegs with a 0.3-delay between explosions. If killed by an enemy, the keg is safely dismantled.
	An exploding keg grants sight of its explosion radius for 2 seconds and deals the attack's damage to all enemies within the area, plus bonus physical damage against champions, ignoring 40% of each enemy's  armor, as well as slowing and revealing them for 2 seconds. Enemies can only be damaged once per chain.	Bonus Physical Damage: 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 Slow: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80%
	Attacking a keg with Spellblade will consume the effect. If Gangplank applies it, the keg will store the damage it would have dealt and add it to the explosion damage as bonus physical damage if it is the initial detonation of a chain. Barrel deterioration speed increases at levels 7 and 13.

Notes

• 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.
• 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.
• Notes regarding the Spellblade interaction:
  • The attack with Spellblade can be but does not have to be the one to trigger the explosion.
  • The stored damage is static and will not change if Gangplank gains base attack damage by leveling up or exchanges his Spellblade item.
    • If a keg that is storing Spellblade damage is attacked with a new instance of Spellblade, it will override the previously stored damage (if different).
  • The magic damage of Lich Bane is fully applied, but effectively converted to physical damage.
• Dead Man's Plate's Crushing Blow will not trigger from Powder Kegs destroyed from Gangplank, even with Parrrley.

Edit

Cannon Barrage

TARGET RANGE: Global EFFECT RADIUS: 600 INNER RADIUS: 200 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 100 Mana COOLDOWN: 180 / 160 / 140

	Active: Gangplank shoots a flare into the air, signaling his ship off-shore to fire upon the target location for 8 seconds, calling down 12 waves of cannonballs in clusters of 3 every 2 seconds, and granting sight of the area for the duration. Each wave deals magic damage to all enemies within the area and slows them by 30% for 0.5 seconds.
	Gangplank can purchase upgrades for his ship in the store at the cost of 500 Silver Serpents each, which improve Cannon Barrage:	Magic Damage Per Wave: 40 / 70 / 100 (+ 10% AP) Magic Damage Per Cluster: 120 / 210 / 300 (+ 30% AP)
	Death's Daughter: An initial cannonball lands in the center of the barrage, dealing a cluster's worth of true damage to all enemies within the impact and slowing them by 60% for 1.5 seconds.	Total Magic Damage: 480 / 840 / 1200 (+ 120% AP) Total Magic Damage with Fire at Will: 720 / 1260 / 1800 (+ 180% AP) Maximum Mixed Total Damage with Fire at Will and Death's Daughter: 840 / 1470 / 2100 (+ 210% AP)
	Raise Morale: The barrage grants allies  30% bonus movement speed while they are inside the area, persisting for 2 seconds after leaving it.

Abilities Countdown The Powder Keg loses 1 maximum health every 2 / 1 / 0.5 (based on level) seconds (minimum 1 current health) Fire in the Hole Gangplank can attack a Powder Keg with basic attacks and Parrrley. If he destroys it, the keg no longer grants kill gold but instead explodes, inflicting the triggering strike upon all nearby enemies, ignoring 40% of their armor, slowing them by 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80% for 2 seconds, dealing 80 / 105 / 130 / 155 / 180 bonus physical damage to enemy champions and applying spell effects as area damage. Magic damage effects are not applied. If Gangplank destroys a Powder Keg with Parrrley then every enemy killed by the Powder Keg will also be plundered and grants him Silver Serpents as if he had killed them with the initial ability. Powder Trail 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.
