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 Yone
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Back off after two Mortal Steels
Get out of his line after two Mortal Steel (Q) hits: the next one makes him dash forward and knocks the enemies hit into the air.
- Avoid his hits in spirit form
During Soul Unbound (E), avoid taking hits: when he snaps back, part of all the damage he dealt you is repeated.
- Trap his return
If you have ground-targeted CC, place it on the body he left behind: when Soul Unbound (E) ends, he has to return there.
- Judge him by his crit items
Judge his threat by his crit items more than his level: Way of the Hunter (passive) raises his critical strike chance, so each crit item does more for him.
- Don't line up with your allies
In teamfights, don't line up with your allies in front of him: Fate Sealed (R) hits every enemy in a line and knocks them into the air toward him.
