Camille aims to pressure Gangplank's scaling by forcing short trades around her second (Q) true damage timing and punishing barrel setups with (E) engages.
Control terrain angles to threaten (E) engages and avoid extended fights before item spikes, leveraging Camille's medium early agency and scaling into a side-lane splitpush threat.
Trading pattern
Trade by preparing your second (Q) and only using (E) when you have a confirmed angle from terrain to stun and disengage immediately.
Punish Gangplank when barrels are cleared or (W) is down by forcing short trades and quick all-ins.
Avoid extended fights if your second (Q) is not ready or (E) is on cooldown, as Gangplank can punish missed engages with barrel chains.
Danger windows
Respect Gangplank's barrel chains (E) as they zone your engage and punish missed (E) attempts.
Avoid engaging when (W) cleanse is up, as it negates your hard crowd control and sustain.
Be cautious of (R) global slow enabling teammates or himself to collapse on you during extended fights or skirmishes.
Early game
Use early waves to farm safely and probe for (E) angles near terrain without overcommitting to avoid Gangplank's barrel chains.
Prioritize short trades that land the second (Q) and disengage quickly before Gangplank can respond with (W) or barrel damage.
Avoid long trades before your first item spike; respect Gangplank's poke and barrel setup until you reach reliable true damage windows.
Power spikes
First sheen-style item: Use the reliable second (Q) true damage to take sharper short trades and pressure Gangplank's barrel zones.
Level 6 (R): Use (R) to lock down Gangplank after baiting his disengage, preventing his escape and enabling kills.
Respect Gangplank's level 6 (R) global slow and barrel scaling; avoid forcing close fights when his barrels are primed or (W) is available.
Win conditions
Deny Gangplank safe barrel setups by clearing or punishing barrels and use (E) to engage when terrain angles are favorable.
Play around your second (Q) timing and first item spike to win short trades and force Gangplank out of lane or low on health.
Post level 6, leverage (R) lockdown to isolate and kill Gangplank, then pressure side lanes to snowball your lead through splitpush and pick potential.
