Skill usage Edit

• When cast on a group of enemy minions,  Phosphorus Bomb along with  Missile Barrage allows Corki to farm extremely fast.
•  Phosphorus Bomb casts quickly and does good burst damage for a lot of the game. It can be used to harass an enemy last-hitting by autoattacking them and then quickly casting  Phosphorus Bomb.
•  Valkyrie is a great farming, initiation, and escape skill. Use it wisely due to its long cooldown.
  •  Valkyrie can be used to jump over terrain and walls in the jungle and with Flash, Corki can jump over 2 walls and escape most ganks.
  • Since Corki is a squishy AD carry, you should rarely use  Valkyrie offensively. Use it to keep up range between yourself and the enemy.
• Maximizing the damage and armor reduction of  Gatling Gun will require Corki to be facing and attacking the target constantly for its four-second duration. It must be activated carefully to reach its full potential.
• The armor reduction from  Gatling Gun will be removed two seconds after the last tick of damage the enemy has taken.
• Corki can use other abilities and auto attack while  Gatling Gun is active, so blast away with  Missile Barrage and auto attacks.
• Always watch your  Missile Barrage quantity before entering a fight so you don't run out of it early. If possible, prepare a Big One. (Have at least 3 stacks towards one.)
• Remember that  Missile Barrage is an AoE skill, and you don't have to hit the enemy champion directly, you may hit a nearby minion for the same damage. The Big One does more damage and has a larger AoE radius.

Build usage Edit

• Because of the increased damage from his passive, getting a Doran's Blade at the beginning of the game allows you to deal a lot of damage. Starting with Boots of Speed and three Health Potions will give you more sustain and mobility, which is helpful when fighting strong poke and early gankers.
• Corki scales well with high attack damage, so try to build an early Infinity Edge or The Bloodthirster.
• Getting a Manamune helps to deal with Corki's mana costs. However, it sacrifices mid/late-game DPS.
• The Black Cleaver stacks with  Gatling Gun, allowing Corki to reduce armor by up to 85, more than any other champion. As armor reduction can reduce the enemies armor below 0, building The Black Cleaver is a very good choice against enemies with a low to medium amount of armor. When fighting multiple enemies with a high amount of armor, Last Whisper is superior to The Black Cleaver though.
  • Last Whisper will be more helpful after the enemy has 160 armor. Anytime before that The Black Cleaver will be removing more armor from the enemy.
• Trinity Force is a good item for Corki because you can get a Sheen proc frequently with  Missile Barrage and then apply it with auto attacks. This will strengthen your mid to late game damage output (as your passive applies with Sheen) and will give you some utility and survability. (in form of mana, the Phage slow, movement speed and health). The slow from it is also highly useful for maximizing the power of  Gatling Gun as the ability requires Corki to maintain facing enemy targets for its four-second duration, when constantly kiting usually tends to be a necessity for survival as a ranged-carry in teamfights.
• Building typical AD carry items on Corki works well with his skillset.  Valkyrie allows him to keep up range and be relatively safe while  Hextech Shrapnel Shells and  Gatling Gun will increase his damage output greatly.
  • Building Phantom Dancer early is not a good idea, as Corki benefits more from building attack damage.

Countering Edit

• Try to stay away from the AoE of his  Gatling Gun. It can reduce your armor heavily if you are careless.
  • Try to pressure Corki while he is using it. Making him turn around to kite will cause him to waste part of it.
• Although Corki has a great lane dominance, he is fairly squishy. Work with your lane partner to harass him often and/or kill him early.
• Focus Corki down if he leads the battle with his  Valkyrie.
• When chasing him, do not overextend as his  Valkyrie can help him outrun you.
• Stay away from the minion wave when he uses his  Missile Barrage. The spell deals AoE damage even when it hits minions.
  • Moving erraticaly also helps with dodging  Missile Barrage.
