Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gangplank.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gangplank | Gangplank-favoured: his Parrley poke and W cleanse deny your early sticking power. |
| Level 2 | Gangplank | Gangplank-favoured: he chips you down and you can't reliably all-in him. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: dodging keg links with E is the deciding play in trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill: careful barrel-dodging holds even, but a landed combo swings it. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill: his R6 barrel burst is dangerous, so spacing decides the window. |
| First item | Gangplank | Gangplank-favoured: his Trinity spike makes primed keg combos spike hard. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone-favoured: late E/R dive through his keg zone and shred his squishy build. |
Gangplank wins levels 1-2 with Parrley poke and W denying your engage, so you farm carefully and don't walk into his barrel range while he chips your HP.
