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 Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
