| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Sett | Level 1 is yours — forcing melee denies his Q farming and barrel stacking. |
| Level 2 | Sett | Level 2 stays yours as your E-Q trade beats his walk-ups. |
| Level 3 | Sett | Level 3 your Facebreaker burst punishes his keg setups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Sett | Levels 4-5 you keep him off barrels and out-tempo his poke. |
| Level 6 | Sett | Level 6 your R all-in beats him before his cleanse-and-kite. |
| First item | Sett | First item you still deny his barrels and out-sustain on Grit. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | 2+ items flips to Gangplank as crit barrel chains out-range and burst you. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — pressure Gangplank in melee so he can't comfortably Q-last-hit or place kegs; every time he walks up you land your E Facebreaker plus Q slow trade for free.
