Trial by Fire

STATIC COOLDOWN:

15

Innate: Every few seconds, Gangplank's next basic attack will burn the target, continually dealing bonus true damage and granting him  bonus movement speed. Whenever a Powder Keg explodes, Trial by Fire's cooldown will  reset and Gangplank will gain the movement speed.

Innate: Periodically, Gangplank empowers his next basic attack to set the target on fire, dealing them「 50 – 250 (based on level) (+ 100% bonus AD) (+ 2 per 1% critical strike chance)  bonus true damage over 2.5 seconds. 」「 5 – 25 (based on level) (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 0.2 per 1% critical strike chance)  bonus true damage every 0.25 seconds over 2.5 seconds. 」 Turrets are dealt 50% damage.

If Gangplank successfully hits a target with Trial by Fire, he gains  15% – 30% (based on level) bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. Every time a Powder Keg explodes, the  cooldown for Trial by Fire resets and Gangplank gains its bonus movement speed.

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

• 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 dodged or if Gangplank is blinded, the effect is not applied nor does Trial by Fire go on cooldown. If the attack is blocked, the effect is not applied, but Trial by Fire will go on cooldown.^(note)
• The empowered attack will not trigger against non- turret structures nor wards.

• Parrrley deals basic damage, but also triggers spell effects by also being tagged as spell damage.
• Fleet Footwork will always trigger its melee effect, even when it is triggered by Parrrley.
• On-hit effects that deal damage to secondary targets will allow Parrrley to plunder from enemies killed that way, much like with Powder Kegs.
  • Ravenous Hydra and Titanic Hydra work like this and will grant additional plunder from enemies they kill when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance.
  • Even spell effects such as Luden's Companion will work with this when triggered by Parrrley as their cast instance. Spell effects that do not belong to their triggering cast instance, such as Liandry's Torment's damage debuff, do not grant plunder for enemies they kill.

• If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on  cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

Map-Specific Differences

Swiftplay differences ^edit

• Remove Scury does not remove debuffs other than crowd control, even if both occur from the same effect. For example, Remove Scurvy will dispel the slow from Exhaust, but not its damage reduction.

RECHARGE:

17 / 16 / 15 / 14 / 13

TARGET RANGE:

1000

EFFECT RADIUS:

345 / 360

Active: Gangplank places a Powder Keg at the target location, which can be basic attacked or shot to damage it. If an enemy destroys a Powder Keg, it is safely dismantled. If Gangplank destroys a Powder Keg, it will explode to deal the attack's damage to nearby enemies and slow them. Against an enemy champion, the explosion additionally deals bonus physical damage and ignores a  portion of their armor.

The explosion will cause nearby Powder Kegs to also explode. Gangplank stocks a Powder Keg every few seconds, up to a maximum.

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 3 health and loses 1 every 2 / 1 / 0.5 (based on level) seconds until it is left with 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), 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 of their radiuses for 2 seconds.

Enemies caught in an explosion are slowed for 2 seconds, and are dealt the triggering attack's damage, dealing bonus physical damage against champions. Each enemy can only be hit once per chain and the damage dealt ignores  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, the explosions deal 5% more damage on top of the critical damage.

• The triggering attack's damage can include Parrrley's base damage and 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 calculated with this formula:
  {aDMG * [1.75 ( + 0.40)] * 1.05} + sDMG + cDMG
  Where:
  • aDMG = Triggering attack's damage
  • sDMG = Spellblade's damage
  • cDMG = Bonus damage to champions
• Kegs have special interactions with 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 Spellblade item interactions:
  • Bloodsong: Dealing damage with kegs to champions won't apply Expose Weakness to them.
  • Iceborn Gauntlet: The frost field will be created on the location of the keg that is attacked.
  • Lich Bane: The magic damage will be added to the explosions' damage, but will be dealt as physical damage.
  • Trinity Force: Attacking kegs grants the movespeed from Quicken; dealing damage with the explosion does not since it does not trigger on-hit effects.
• Barrels triggering a chain reaction will show a lit fuse traveling toward other barrels.
  • The lit fuse is only visual and does not affect the time it takes for barrels to explode.
• Placed barrels do not grant vision until they explode, but they are revealed to Gangplank.
  • If Gangplank loses allied vision, for instance due to nearsight, he will also lose vision on his barrels temporarily.
  • Barrels prematurely grant sight of their explosion radius (including across terrain and into bushes) if Parrrley or a lit fuse is traveling towards them.
    • This area reveal happens even if Parrrley is not going to make it explode.
• An exploding Powder Keg will splash Parrrley's bonus damage, and will also be modified if the attack critically strikes.
• Attacks against Powder Kegs will apply on-hit effects (such as Tiamat's Cleave), but proc damage against the barrel itself is reduced to 0.
  • Damage from on-hit effects will not increase the damage of the explosion.
  • Spellblade is a special-cased exception.
• Dead Man's Plate's Crushing Blow will not trigger from Powder Kegs destroyed from Gangplank, even with 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 and Silver Serpents upon killing enemies as if he had done so using Parrrley.^(bug)
  • This effect persists through death and will only end upon killing an enemy with Parrrley.

Map-Specific Differences

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.

Original

18.08.2009

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.

Trivia

Original Gangplank

• During development he was simply called Pirate or Rogal Cheastbeard.
• Gangplank was named after the eponymous disembarkation device.
• Gangplank is voiced by Dennis Collins Johnson, who also voices Heimerdinger and Taric.
• Parrrley being spelled with three R's references the pop culture pirate rendition and how Gangplank ironically negotiates (as per the word's definition) by killing his opponents and plundering them.
• Remove Scurvy references the real-world disease of scurvy, a disease common in sailors caused by a deficiency in Vitamin C. The high Vitamin C content in oranges is in turn a tongue-in-cheek way to say that eating them can "remove scurvy".
• NA Summoner 'SantiagoBR' is the creator of the 'But I ate some oranges and it was K' meme.
• During Closed Beta 1 of development, Gangplank didn't have a beard. This was changed in Closed Beta 3. An image of him in this state can be viewed here.
• His secondary role is Support.
• In the now-removed official League of Legends forums, the original icon of Parrrley was used to represent the "Bug Reports" section.

Gangplank, the Saltwater Scourge

• Gangplank is voiced by Matthew Mercer, who also voices Captain Gangplank and Wolf.
• He became the first champion to:
  1. Receive two visual updates (the first based on his Chinese artwork and the second based on Burning Tides).
  2. Have four Classic skins (counting Captain Gangplank before being disabled in-game after 'dying' in Burning Tides).
  3. Temporarily replace the announcer in every single map.
• One of the scrapped spells tested during Gangplank's visual gameplay update summoned a "pirate Gundam" that fired mid-range cannonballs from its arm and attacked with a miniature version of Unstoppable Force.

League of Legends content

Attack windup

The attack windup is a portion of the basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.

---

The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.

League of Legends content

Attack speed ratio

The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.

Total AS = Base AS + Bonus AS × AS Ratio
(All values in decimal form)

---

The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.

League of Legends content

Gameplay radius

A unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's  basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.

League of Legends content

Selection radius

A unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

League of Legends content

Pathing radius

A unit's pathing radius is a stat that determines the gameplay area they occupy for unit-collision and pathfinding logic. A unit's center cannot intersect with another unit's pathing radius, unless one of them is ghosted.

League of Legends content

Selection height

A unit's selection height is a stat that determines the vertically furthest point from the center of their model at the ground that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.

---

Gameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.

League of Legends content

Acquisition radius

A unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.

• Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
• Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.

 Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.

League of Legends content

Top

Within a drafted team, the Top Laner is the champion assigned to the top lane.

Juggernauts, Divers, Battlemages, Skirmishers, and Vanguards are the most likely champions to be selected in the Top Lane position.

League of Legends content

Specialist

Specialists are champions that do not fit into the "neat little boxes" of the other classes, and represent Riot's ideal of having a champion roster with a lot of distinctiveness and diversity.

Examples

• Azir
• Teemo
• Heimerdinger
• Singed
• Gangplank

League of Legends content

Fighter (Legacy)

Fighters are durable and damage-focused melee champions that look to be in the thick of combat.

League of Legends content

Mana

 Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.

Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.

League of Legends content

Melee

Melee champions have a basic attack  range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.

League of Legends content

Powder Keg

RECHARGE: 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 / 13

Active: Gangplank places a Powder Keg at the target location, which can be basic attacked or shot to damage it. If an enemy destroys a Powder Keg, it is safely dismantled.

If Gangplank destroys a Powder Keg, it will explode to deal the attack's damage to nearby enemies and slow them. Against an enemy champion, the explosion additionally deals bonus physical damage and ignores a  portion of their armor. The explosion will cause nearby Powder Kegs to also explode.

Gangplank stocks a Powder Keg every few seconds, up to a maximum.

League of Legends content

Turret

A turret, also called a tower, is a fortification that defends a part of territory. It provides vision of the area and autonomously fires homing bolts at nearby enemies, establishing a defensive ground for allies.

Turrets are most notable in Classic, defending against waves of enemy Minions from their ultimate goal of destroying the nexus. Champions work to destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.

League of Legends content

Parrrley

COOLDOWN: 4.5

Active: Gangplank shoots the target enemy with his pistol, dealing physical damage and applying on-hit and on-attack effects.

If this attack kills the target, he gains gold and Silver Serpents.

League of Legends content

Default damage

Default damage is dealt by effects that are not otherwise classified, or are deliberately left unclassified. This most common source of default damage is splash damage from basic attacks.

---

Default damage does not interact with most other effects, such as Conqueror stacking, Luden's Companion or Arcane Comet. The main exception is:

• Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.

Effects triggered by damage subtypes will still occur in spite of the damage's non-reactive nature (e.g. The Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

League of Legends content

True damage

• Applies:
  • Omnivamp
• Mitigated by:
  • Damage shields
  • Invulnerability

League of Legends content

Dodge

Dodging an instance of damage will skip its damage event entirely, preventing it from being taken and effects that trigger from damage. Dodge takes precedence over block, but not blind.

---

Effects that dodge damage will only dodge instances that are dodgeable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always dodged, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Jax's Counter Strike and Nilah's Jubilant Veil.

League of Legends content

Blind

A unit that is blinded will miss their basic attacks for the duration, comparable to attacking a target that is able to dodge or block, but not mechanically similar. Missed basic attacks will fail to deal damage and apply on-hit effects, with the exception of some empowered basic attacks. Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks, unlike Disarm.

---

Interrupts:	Does not interrupt any actions, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered by basic attacks.
Reduction:	The duration is affected by Tenacity.
Resist:	Resisted by crowd control immunity.
Removal:	Removed by Cleanses with the exception of Mikael's Blessing.

League of Legends content

Block

Blocking an instance of damage will reduce its value to 0, but does not prevent effects that trigger from damage. Blind and dodge take precedence over block.

---

Effects that block damage will only block instances that are blockable. Note that these are specified in the ability details on the Wiki.

Basic attacks and abilities that apply on-hit effects are always blocked, unless otherwise stated.

This effect is exclusive to Shen's Spirit's Refuge and is similar though mechanically different to Dodge.

League of Legends content

Centered range

Centered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.

• Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
• It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.

League of Legends content

On-hit effect

On-hit is an umbrella term for a type of effect that triggers on instances of basic damage, or generally upon a basic attack or certain attack-like ability hitting a target. Most on-hit effects deal proc damage or default damage, which are non-reactive (= the effects don't trigger more effects).

---

• Critical strikes are not on-hit effects. An ability listed as applying on-hit effects cannot critically strike unless otherwise stated.
•  Life steal is not an on-hit effect. Damage from on-hit effects normally does not apply life steal, unless those effects deal basic damage or are special-cased to benefit from life steal.

---

The ability counterpart to on-hit effects are ability effects, which apply on instances of ability damage.

League of Legends content

On-attack

On-attack effects refer to various instances that are triggered by the user when they finish their basic attack windup.

---

Unlike on-hit effects, on-attack effects do not require the user to land their basic attacks, only to finish their windup. Abilities that trigger on-attack effects will do so upon successfully hitting the target.

League of Legends content

Parrrley

COOLDOWN: 4.5

Active: Gangplank shoots the target enemy with his pistol, dealing physical damage and applying on-hit and on-attack effects.

If this attack kills the target, he gains gold and Silver Serpents.

League of Legends content

Ranged

Ranged champions have a basic attack  range usually beyond 300 units. Many deal damage through projectiles, which are subject to mitigating effects like Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for ranged characters.

League of Legends content

Critical strike

Critical strike refers to an effect that deals increased damage under specific circumstances, denoted as   critical strike damage. The most common form of critical strike occurs on basic attacks, which triggers based on  critical strike chance.

---

By default, a critical strike deals 175% of the normal damage. Critical damage modifiers such as Infinity Edge can increase this percentage.

League of Legends content

Cannon Barrage

COOLDOWN: 170 / 150 / 130

Active: Gangplank orders a cannon bombardment to the target location, each blast deals magic damage and slows enemies within.

Gangplank can improve Cannon Barrage by purchasing upgrades in the shop with Silver Serpents.

League of Legends content

Physical damage

• Applies:
  • Black Cleaver's Carve
  • Chempunk Chainsword's, Executioner's Calling's and Mortal Reminder's Grievous Wounds
  • Omnivamp
  • Physical vamp
• Mitigated by:
  • Damage shields
  • Invulnerability
  • Damage reduction
  •  Armor
  • Physical shields
  • Death's Dance

League of Legends content

Basic damage

Basic damage is the damage dealt by most basic attacks, and a select few abilities. Most sources of basic damage have the physical damage sub-type, but this is not guaranteed.

---

Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of basic damage. For example:

• Wit's End, Blade of the Ruined King and Tiamat.
•  Life steal, Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of basic damage dealt.
• Basic damage is negated by dodge and block.

Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. The Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

League of Legends content

Spell damage

Spell damage is the damage type dealt by most single target abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Spell damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.

---

Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of spell damage. For example:

• Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
• Omnivamp and Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.
• Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 20% per instance of spell damage you deal to a champion.

Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).

League of Legends content

Cast instance

Cast instance is the identifier that tells the source of spells. Multiple spells, such as basic attacks and abilities, under the same cast instance behave as one for certain interactions. Some notable examples:

• Conqueror's stacking can only be triggered once per cast instance.
• Electrocute and Phase Rush can only receive 1 stack for their activation per cast instance.
• Muramana deals its damage once per cast instance.

Not to be confused with damage instance, which is each individual effects, even under the same cast instance.

League of Legends content

Untargetable

A unit that is untargetable is an invalid target; it can neither be selected nor hit by most effects. Effects that have already been applied are not invalidated by the unit becoming untargetable, unless they are special-cased to do so.

---

Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.

League of Legends content

Death

Death occurs when a unit's  health is reduced to zero, thereby being killed. The unit can no longer act and is removed or becomes a corpse.

---

On player death, they can view the death recap and the shop to purchase items, and some item actives can be used while dead.

League of Legends content

Sight

Sight is a property of units, structures, certain summoner spells, items, and abilities that represents a team possessing vision of a target area or unit. It is always center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.

---

Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or brush, allowing them to be targeted. Standard sight cannot see stealthed units, but True Sight can.

• Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
• Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
• Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.
• All effects that use unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.

Cleanse

A unit that is cleansed has all applicable crowd control status effects removed.

---

• Due to the nature of the cleanse interaction, cleansing abilities and effects remain castable in circumstances that would otherwise inhibit casting, unless special-cased.
• "Cleanse" does not always refer to the act of removing all crowd control effects, some sources would specify only one or a few types of crowd control.
• A cleanse does not remove Stasis, but will remove the disable portion of Airborne.

League of Legends content

Crowd control

A unit that is disabled is affected by a status effect that prevents certain actions – such as movement, attacking, casting and/or seeing–blocked, reduced or controlled.

Crowd control applied by one's self or an ally cannot be countered in any way, neither reduced in duration, resisted, nor removed unless special cased to do so.

• The crowd control effect may still be cleansed if it is applied as a debuff separate from the originated ability.
