Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through your W Brittle application followed by E knockup, as Gangplank lacks the burst to punish your engage cooldowns.
- Post-6 you maintain 1v1 advantage since your R provides additional knockup setup while his R doesn't help in direct duels.
How to Trade
- Look to W him when he steps up for barrel combos or CS, then immediately E to proc Brittle damage and knockup.
- Your Q pillar can zone him from barrels or create additional E knockup angles if he tries to disengage.
Wave Control
- Push waves early to deny his barrel setups and force him to CS under tower where he's more vulnerable to your W-E trades.
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages before looking for extended trades with your combo.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him through multiple barrels after landing your combo, as he can kite you with slows and poke while your abilities are on cooldown.
- Avoid trading when low on health since his R global pressure can set up jungle ganks while you're vulnerable.
