Optional Summoner Spells

Exhaust

Exhaust

Defensive option. Exhaust for peeling against enemy divers and assassins and protecting yourself.

Heal

Heal

Classic ADC option. Gives you and a teammate a burst of movement speed and health in clutch moments.

Cleanse

Cleanse

Underrated, not super easy to use, requires skill and getting used to it, but very good option. It is blessing if you pick it blindly against heavy CC comps. Frees you from disables and exhaust to keep you dealing damage.

How it works

  1. You build 100% crit, lots of AD, and attack speed to melt the enemy team.
  2. ADC Gangplank is a late-game scaling powerhouse.
  3. Your goal is to become the primary carry for your team.

How to play

Getting started

  1. Play carefully early on until you get some core items.
  2. Usually a good rush item is The Collector.
  3. Don't rush Infinity Edge. It scales off of your other crit items, so usually go for it as your #2 or #3 item.

Adapting

  1. Adapt to the enemy team. If they have lots of tanks or start stacking Armor, prioritize Lord Dominik's Regards early.
  2. If you are facing heavy AP burst or assassins, items like Immortal Shieldbow or Maw of Malmortius can save your life.

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. Your Ultimate upgrade order:
    • Fire at Will (more waves).
    • Death's Daughter (true damage).
    • Raise Morale (bonus movement speed).
  2. Your Parrrley (Q) count as ranged attack, which means some runes and items will give you an effect as if you were ranged champion. For example: Grasp of the Undying - less heal, less Health, less dmg. Hubris - less ad. First Strike - less gold.

Riot

  1. Parrrley applies On Hit effects like Frozen Mallet or Black Cleaver.
  2. Paying attention to low-health enemies on the map can land you a surprise kill with Cannon Barrage.
  3. Try placing Cannon Barrage on the path of escape to cut off fleeing enemies.
