How to win lane as Gangplank against Lillia · 56.09% win rate over 583 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | She's a slippery early laner with Dream Dust DOT and dash kite, and you're a weak early too — so last-hit at Parrrley range and don't over-walk into her poke during her only window. |
| Level 2 | Gangplank | Parrrley out-ranges every tool she has and she has no point-and-click answer — chunk her each time she steps up for CS. |
| Level 3 | Gangplank | Your second Q point lets you poke her down faster than Dream Dust sustains, and she has no gap-closer that out-trades your pistol-and-keg chip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gangplank | Once she has to walk into your kegs to farm, your barrel poke beats her kite — she can't free-hit the kegs to deny them without eating Parrrley. |
| Level 6 | Gangplank | Her R sleep is her only hard CC, and Remove Scurvy cleanses it and heals off missing HP — so you flip her 6 spike into a wasted combo. |
| First item | Gangplank | Sheen/Essence Reaver Parrrley plus a full keg chain bursts her low-armor AP frame before Dream Dust DOT and her dash can recover the trade. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | Chained keg detonations two-tap her and Cannon Barrage zones her off objectives — she's a roamer, not a duelist who can answer your scaling. |
"Levels 1-2 are the only window she really gets, and even then it's close — Parrrley out-ranges her, so punish her every time she walks up to last-hit. Don't chase her movement speed across the lane; she'll kite your autos with her dash and bleed you with Dream Dust DOT. Sit on the wave, hit her with Q when she comes for CS, and don't let her free-hit your low-HP barrels before you can use them. She has no point-and-click and no gap-closer that catches you — she only out-trades if you over-walk into her poke."
