Gangplank, the former reaver king who was kicked off his throne, is feared everywhere because he is cruel and unpredictable. He used to be in charge of the port city of Bilgewater, and even though that time is over, some people think that has only made him more dangerous.
Gangplank would wait until Bilgewater was covered in blood again before letting someone else take it, and now he has a pistol, a cutlass, and barrels of gunpowder to get back what he has lost.
This article is a full guide on how to best place Gangplank in TFT to make sure you stay on the throne of the winners.
With sword and shot I'll take my island back.
Gangplank, the deposed reaver king, is feared for his brutality and unpredictability. His reputation is such that even the toughest crew panics at the sight of his dark sails on the horizon. Death and devastation follow him everywhere.
Gangplank has many formidable foes after becoming rich preying on the Twelve Seas trade routes. After ransacking the Temple of the Jagged Knife in Ionia, he earned the fury of the deadly Order of Shadow. After Gangplank stole Swain's personal vessel, the Leviathan, the pride of the Noxian navy, the Grand General of Noxus swore to destroy him.
Despite assassins, bounty hunters, and whole armadas pursuing Gangplank, none have succeeded in bringing him to justice. When he returns to Bilgewater with his ships full of loot, he nails the ever-increasing prizes to his head at the Bounty Board.
Miss Fortune recently defeated Gangplank. Bilgewater watched as his ship sank, murdering his crew and breaking his invincibility. Since they've discovered he's susceptible, Bilgewater's gangs are competing for control of the port city.
Despite catastrophic explosion injuries, Gangplank survived. He is now determined to regain his power, recapture what is rightfully his, and mercilessly punish those who turned against him.
