Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Gangplank is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Trial by Fire

Gangplank Trial by Fire

Innate: Periodically, Gangplank empowers his next basic attack to set the target on fire, dealing them「 50 − 250 (based on level) Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 100% bonus AD) Time champions spent slowed by Miasma (W)(+ 2 per 1% critical strike chance) Attack speed icon Skillshots dodged with Void Surge (Q) bonus true damage over 2.5 seconds. 」「 5 − 25 (based on level) Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 10% bonus AD) Time champions spent slowed by Miasma (W)(+ 0.2 per 1% critical strike chance) Attack speed icon Skillshots dodged with Void Surge (Q) bonus true damage every 0.25 seconds over 2.5 seconds. 」Turret icon Turrets are dealt 50% damage.

Gangplank Trial by Fire 2

If Gangplank successfully hits a target with Trial by Fire, he gains Movement speed icon Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)15% − 30% (based on level) bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. Every time a Powder Keg Powder Keg explodes, the Cooldown icon cooldown for Trial by Fire resets and Gangplank gains its Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)bonus movement speed.

Trial by Fire cannot be applied with Parrrley Parrrley nor Powder Keg Powder Keg.

Info
  • Reapplying Trial by Fire before a previous application has run out will stack the full damage, instead of refreshing the duration.
  • The bonus true damage scaling based on critical strike chance is capped at 100% of the stat.
  • If the attack is Jax Counter Strike old dodged or if Gangplank is Blind icon blinded, the effect is not applied nor does Trial by Fire go on cooldown. If the attack is Spirit's Refuge blocked, the effect is not applied, but Trial by Fire will go on cooldown.
  • The empowered attack will not trigger against non-Turret icon turret structures nor wards.

Edit

Parrrley

Parrrley

Active: Gangplank fires a shot at the target enemy that deals Champions killed from outside standard Attack rangephysical damage and applies On-hit icon on-hit and on-attack effects at 100% effectiveness as a Ranged role ranged attack. Parrrley can Critical strike icon critically strike for (175% + 40% 40%) total damage.

Physical Damage:
10 / 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 Champions stunned with Pyromania (P)(+ 100% AD)
Silver Serpents

If Parrrley kills the target, Gangplank plunders gold Gold gold and Silver Serpents Silver Serpents. Each enemy killed by a Powder Keg Powder Keg explosion that was originally set off by Parrrley also counts for the plunder.

Gold Plunder:
3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Gold 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7
Silver Serpent Plunder:
Gangplank Silver Serpents 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Silver Serpents Silver Serpents can be spent in the shop to upgrade Cannon Barrage Cannon Barrage.

Info
  • Parrrley deals Basic Attack basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by dealing an additional 0 Disintegrate spell damage.
  • On-hit icon On-hit effects that deal damage to secondary targets will allow Parrrley to plunder from enemies killed that way, much like with Powder Kegs Powder Kegs.
  • If the target becomes Untargetable icon untargetable, Death dies, or is too far away or no longer in Sight icon sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on Cooldown icon cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

Remove Scurvy

Remove Scurvy

Active: Gangplank consumes a large quantity of citrus fruit, Remove Scurvy cleansing himself from all Stun icon crowd control and Heal power icon healing himself.

Heal:
45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 90% AP) Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)(+ 13% missing health)

Info

Edit

Powder Keg

Powder Keg

Active: Gangplank consumes a charge to place a powder keg at the target location that lasts for 25 seconds and will connect to other kegs with overlapping connection radius through a trail of black powder. The keg starts with Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)3 health and loses inherit1 every 2 / 1 / 0.5 (based on level) seconds until it is left with Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)1 health.

Gangplank periodically stocks a Powder Keg charge, up to a maximum.

Maximum charges:
3 / 3 / 4 / 4 / 5

Kegs can be basic attacked by enemies or Gangplank (including his Parrrley Parrrley), dealing 1 damage to it. When an enemy destroys it, it is safely defused. When Gangplank destroys it, it explodes and also triggers a chain reaction that explodes other nearby connected kegs with a 0.33 seconds-delay between explosions. The explosions also grant Sight icon sight of their radiuses for 2 seconds.

Enemies caught in an explosion are Slow icon slowed for 2 seconds, and are dealt the triggering Successful resurrections with Rebirth (P)attack's damage, dealing Champions killed from outside standard Attack rangebonus physical damage against Champion icon champions. Each enemy can only be hit once per chain and the damage dealt ignores Armor penetration icon Healing from Spirit of Dread (W)40% of the target's armor.

Slow:
40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80%
Bonus Champion Damage:
75 / 105 / 135 / 165 / 195

If the triggering attack was a Critical strike icon critical strike, the explosions deal 5% more damage on top of the critical damage.

Info
  • The triggering attack's damage can include Parrrley Parrrley's base damage and Sheen item 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 5%.
  • The total damage can be easily calculated with this formula:
    {aDMG * [1.75 (+ 0 + 0.45)] * 1.05} + sDMG + cDMG
    Where:
    • aDMG = Triggering attack's damage
    • sDMG = Spellblade's damage
    • cDMG = Bonus damage to champions
  • Kegs have special interactions with Sheen item 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 if 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 Sheen item Spellblade item interactions:
    • Trinity Force Trinity Force: Attacking kegs or dealing damage to champions with the explosion does not increase the Champions hit with Bandage Toss (Q) at greater than 75% of max rangebase attack damage.
    • Lich Bane Lich Bane: The Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage will be added to the explosions' damage, but will be dealt as Champions killed from outside standard Attack rangephysical damage.
    • Essence Reaver Essence Reaver: Consuming the effect on kegs will restore Champions hit by Piltover Peacemakers (Q) at greater than 75% of max rangemana. Explosions does not trigger this.
  • Placed barrels do not grant Sight icon vision until they explode, but they are revealed to Gangplank.
    • If Gangplank loses allied vision, for instance due to Nearsight icon nearsight, he will also lose vision on his barrels temporarily.
    • Barrels prematurely grant Sight icon sight of their explosion radius (including across terrain and into bushes) if Parrrley Parrrley or a lit fuse is travelling towards them.
      • This area reveal happens even if Parrrley Parrrley is not going to make it explode.
  • An exploding Powder Keg will splash Parrrley's Parrrley's bonus damage, and will also be modified if the attack Critical strike icon critically strikes.
  • Attacks against Powder Kegs will apply on-hit effects (such as Tiamat's Tiamat's Cleave), but Wit's End item proc damage against the barrel itself is reduced to 0.
    • Damage from on-hit effects will not increase the damage of the explosion.
    • Sheen item Spellblade is a special-cased exception.
  • Dead Man's Plate's Dead Man's Plate's Crushing Blow will not trigger from Powder Kegs destroyed from Gangplank, even with Parrrley Parrrley.
  • The number of Powder Kegs in stock is visible under Gangplank's health bar for all players.
  • 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.
  • If a barrel is destroyed during the 0.33 seconds-delay between explosions, Gangplank will plunder gold Gold gold and Silver Serpents Silver Serpents upon killing enemies as if he had done so using Parrrley Parrrley.(bug)
    • This effect persists through Death death and will only end upon killing an enemy with Parrrley Parrrley.

Map-Specific Differences
ProfileIcon0785 The Thinking Manatee 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.

Cannon Barrage

Cannon Barrage

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 icon sight of the area for the duration. Each wave deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to all enemies within the area and Slow icon slows them by 30% for 0.5 seconds.

Magic Damage Per Wave:
40 / 70 / 100 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 10% AP)

Fire in the Hole

Gangplank can attack a Powder Keg with basic attacks and Parrrley Parrrley.

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.
