How to win lane as Gangplank against Sejuani · 52.39% win rate over 439 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Even and dead — she won't commit level 1 and I'm too weak to force it, so I just last-hit with Parrrley and protect my barrels. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Still even; her autos and Winter's Wrath stack Frost toward a Permafrost stun, so I don't trade in melee range and keep poking with Q. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Neither of us spikes here — full kit isn't online yet, my barrels are still low-HP, and she has no kill pattern without Permafrost, so it stays a skill stage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gangplank | I get the edge: a second Q and E point means Parrrley-into-keg poke she can't trade back, and she can only close with a telegraphed Arctic Assault. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Even — her Q-knockup into Permafrost or a Glacial Prison dive is real, but Remove Scurvy cleanses the stun and heals the burst, so it's a wash. |
| First item | Gangplank | My Sheen keg-chain spike out-damages a tank flat in a 1v1 — empowered Parrrley plus a full barrel detonation flips this in my favour. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | I own the 1v1 with two items through chained kegs and global Cannon Barrage, but I respect her teamfight engage and never spend W early. |
Neither of us wants this stage, so don't force it. Sejuani has no waveclear and no reason to commit a level-1 — but I'm the weaker laner here, so I farm with the tip of Parrrley and keep my barrels placed where she can't free-hit them off cooldown. The thing to respect is her Frost: every Winter's Wrath and auto stacks me, and at four stacks her Permafrost (E) is a hard stun, so I don't sit in melee range feeding stacks. Quiet last-hitting wins this for me.
