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 Garen

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hit him regularly

    Hit him regularly, even with a small poke: Perseverance (passive) only regenerates him if he hasn't taken damage recently.

  2. At range, kite him

    If you're ranged, kite him: his kit has no dash, and only Decisive Strike (Q) speeds him up and removes his slows.

  3. Burst after his shield

    Wait for the Courage (W) shield to end before your burst: the spell starts with a shield and tenacity, then keeps only a damage reduction.

  4. Don't stay low once he hits 6

    Once he hits level 6, back instead of staying in lane at low health against him: Demacian Justice (R) deals true damage that grows with your missing health.
