Playing as Corki

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Poke and reveal with your bomb

    Poke with Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit are revealed for a few seconds, enough to follow an opponent into a brush.

  2. Start your trades with Gatling Gun

    Start your trades with Gatling Gun (E): it lowers the armor and magic resist of the enemies hit while it fires.

  3. Save the Big One

    Save the Big One, every third missile of Missile Barrage (R), for a champion: it deals much more damage than the other missiles.

  4. Save Valkyrie to escape

    Save Valkyrie (W) to escape rather than to engage: without it, you're vulnerable for its 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  5. Don't engage alone with the package

    Only engage with Special Delivery if your team can follow: after using it, as after Valkyrie (W), you're vulnerable.

Playing against Caitlyn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't stay in her range

    Don't stay in her range for no reason: her autos reach 650, and every few autos, Headshot (passive) hits harder.

  2. Walk around her traps

    Walk around her traps: stepping on a Yordle Snap Trap (W) roots you, reveals you for 3 seconds and gives her a double-range Headshot (passive).

  3. Engage after her net

    If you can engage, wait for her 90 Caliber Net (E): it's her only way to hop backward, on a 16 to 8 second cooldown.

  4. Cover your wounded ally

    If a wounded ally is targeted by Ace in the Hole (R), step into the line of fire: any champion on your team can intercept the bullet.
