Playing as Corki
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Jax
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.
- Back off during Counter Strike
During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.
- Trade after his E
Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.
- Don't let him split push alone
In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
