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 Renekton
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade when he's under 50 Fury
Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.
- Trade after his dashes
Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.
- Back off when he casts Dominus
Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
