Playing as Gangplank
Tips to maximize your impact
- Chain your kegs
Build a chain with Powder Keg (E): detonate the keg farthest from your opponent, and each keg whose area touches the previous one explodes too, all the way to them.
- Last-hit with Parrrley
Last-hit minions and pop kegs with Parrrley (Q): a kill with the shot gives bonus gold, and so does a kill from a keg it sets off.
- Save your W for CC
Save Remove Scurvy (W) for a key CC rather than for healing: it cleanses all CC on you, on a 22 to 14 second cooldown.
- Bombard other fights
Cast Cannon Barrage (R) anywhere on the map to help a fight or cover an objective: each wave of cannonballs slows and damages in the area.
Playing against Corki
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't count on your minions
Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.
- Leave his Gatling cone
Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.
- Avoid brushes hit by his bomb
Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.
- Engage after his dash
If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
