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 Jinx
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.
- Walk around her traps
Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.
- Deny her the first kill
If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
