How to win lane as Gangplank against Camille · 50% win rate over 800 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Both of you are weak at level 1 — your barrel has a long cooldown and no chain yet, so just deny her last-hits and set the wave up rather than trading. |
| Level 2 | Camille | At 2 her E-hookshot stun into the empowered Precision Protocol re-cast lands before a single keg can detonate, so she wins the short trade outright. |
| Level 3 | Camille | Level 3 gives her the full E-Q-W combo with Tactical Sweep's true damage while your barrels still can't chain — last-hit safe and hold W for her stun. |
| Levels 4-5 | Camille | Her all-in cooldowns refresh faster than your keg chain at 4-5, so she keeps the trade edge until your Parrrley-keg poke comes online. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Cannon Barrage zones and adds dive threat but doesn't win the 1v1, so the duel sits even at 6 unless she E-walls in for an isolation. |
| First item | Gangplank | Sheen/Trinity empowers Parrrley to detonate a full keg chain — that burst beats Tactical Sweep's heal and flips the lane tempo to you. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | Your mid-game keg detonations plus global R give you the tempo edge right after first item — cash it in fast, because she reclaims the duel once she hits two items. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Camille — your Powder Keg has a long early cooldown with no chain online yet, your base HP is low enough for her to free-hit, and you have no real waveclear, so a single E-hookshot stun into Precision Protocol's empowered second cast (true damage on the timed re-hit) and Tactical Sweep's outer-edge true damage chunks you before a keg can come up. Last-hit at the tip of Parrrley range and never step up to drop a barrel she can simply walk onto and pop with you next to it. Hold W (Remove Scurvy) for her E — cleansing the stun mid-combo, or right-click-cancelling it, is your only real out here.
