Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Gangplank's Q poke and barrel zoning, but can start winning all-ins post-6 with R engage potential.
- Level 2 E gives you gap-close potential but Gangplank's W cleanse makes extended trades difficult.
How to Trade
- You want to E forward, Q3 knockup, auto-W-auto, then E back to safety before Gangplank can retaliate with barrels.
- Avoid extended trades without your E safety net as Gangplank will out-sustain you with W healing and Corrupting Potion.
Wave Control
- You should push early waves to prevent Gangplank from setting up barrel chains, then look to freeze near your tower post-6 for all-in opportunities.
- Gangplank struggles to break freezes safely without jungle help due to your R threat range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not E forward without tracking Gangplank's barrel placements as he can instantly combo you during your E animation.
- Never use E aggressively when Gangplank has W available as he'll cleanse your knockup and turn the trade with barrels.
