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 Jinx

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).
