How to win lane as Camille against Gangplank · 51.98% win rate over 731 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | You both have weak level 1s — one ability, no all-in — so deny his barrel last-hits and set up your level 2 spike rather than contesting a CS into placed keg poke. |
| Level 2 | Camille | Precision Protocol's recast true-damage second hit plus a point in E out-trades a single fresh barrel before he can build a detonation chain. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Your Q cooldown drops and Tactical Sweep heals off his max HP — you win every short trade his single-keg poke can't sustain through. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Hextech Ultimatum walls him in and Remove Scurvy is a cleanse not a dash, so he can't W out; just bait the cleanse off your Q slow first and the all-in lands. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Your first-item Eclipse/Sheen spike keeps the dive lethal, but his first crit component is coming online — it's a coinflip on who completes their spike first. |
| First item | Gangplank | Once he stacks Trinity and crit, his barrel chains poke you below E range and Remove Scurvy cleanses your Q slow on demand, flipping the trades to him. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | He out-scales hard — full-crit barrel chains, an on-demand cleanse, and global R win the map — so play for tempo and end the game before this window. |
Level 1 is a coinflip — you have one ability and no all-in, and his barrel poke can chip you, so don't walk onto a placed keg to contest a CS. From Level 2 you take over: with Precision Protocol and a point in E you Hookshot in, land Q, and wait the ~1s for the recast true-damage second hit before he can detonate a barrel chain. A single fresh keg does little, and your W (Tactical Sweep) heals you off him to win the trade outright — punish him every time his barrels are on cooldown.
