Trial by Fire enables Gangplank to deal bonus true damage with his next basic attack and gain movement speed. This effect refreshes when destroying Powder Kegs.

Parrrley allows Gangplank to shoot his target, dealing physical damage and earning bonus gold on kills. It can detonate Powder Kegs and benefits from critical strike modifiers.

Remove Scurvy heals Gangplank and removes crowd control effects. The heal amount scales with missing health.

Powder Keg places explosive barrels that Gangplank can detonate with attacks or Parrrley. The explosion deals area damage, slows enemies, and ignores a portion of armor. Multiple kegs can be chained together.

Cannon Barrage calls down waves of cannon fire in an area, dealing damage and slowing enemies. It can be upgraded with Silver Serpents to add effects:

  • Death's Daughter: Initial mega-cannonball for true damage
  • Raise Morale: Movement speed buff for allies
  • Fire at Will: Additional waves

Key changes in recent patches:

  • Base slow on Powder Keg increased to 40-80%
  • Removed slow scaling with crit chance
  • Base health increased to 630
  • Powder Keg recharge timer and charges adjusted
  • Various bug fixes for barrel mechanics

The goal is to maintain Gangplank's identity as a lane bully who scales into a potent late-game carry through barrel combos and global pressure.
