Corki/Strategy

Skill usage

 * When cast on a group of enemy minions, along with  allows  to farm extremely fast.
 * casts quickly and does good burst damage for a lot of the game. It can be used to harass an enemy last-hitting by autoattacking them and then quickly casting.
 * is a great farming, initiation, and escape skill. Use it wisely due to its long cooldown.
 * can be used to jump over terrain and walls in the jungle and with, can jump over 2 walls and escape most ganks.
 * Since is a squishy AD carry, you should rarely use  offensively. Use it to keep up range between yourself and the enemy.
 * Maximizing the damage and armor reduction of will require Corki to be facing and attacking the target constantly for its four-second duration. It must be activated carefully to reach its full potential.
 * The armor reduction from will be removed two seconds after the last tick of damage the enemy has taken.
 * can use other abilities and auto attack while is active, so blast away with  and auto attacks.
 * Always watch your quantity before entering a fight so you don't run out of it early. If possible, prepare a Big One. (Have at least 2 stacks towards one.)
 * Remember that is an AoE skill, and you don't have to hit the enemy champion directly, you may hit a nearby minion for the same damage. The Big One does more damage and has a larger AoE radius.

Build usage

 * Because of the increased damage from his passive, getting a at the beginning of the game allows you to deal a lot of damage. Starting with  and four  will give you more sustain and mobility, which is helpful when fighting strong poke and early gankers.
 * scales well with high attack damage, so try to build an early or.
 * Getting a helps to deal with Corki's mana costs. However, it sacrifices mid/late-game DPS.
 * is a good item for because you can get a  proc frequently with  and then apply it with auto attacks. This will strengthen your mid to late game damage output (with a 200% boost to your base auto-attack) and will give you some utility and survability. Tri-Force proves to be a key item when constantly kiting as this tends to be a necessity for survival as a ranged-carry in teamfights.
 * Building typical AD carry items on works well with his skillset.  allows him to keep up range and be relatively safe while  and  will increase his damage output greatly.
 * Building early is not a good idea, as Corki benefits more from building attack damage.

Countering

 * Try to stay away from the AoE of his . It can reduce your armor heavily if you are careless.
 * Try to pressure while he is using it. Making him turn around to kite will cause him to waste part of it.
 * Although has a great lane dominance, he is fairly squishy. Work with your lane partner to harass him often and/or kill him early.
 * Focus down if he leads the battle with his.
 * When chasing him, do not overextend as his can help him outrun you.
 * Stay away from the minion wave when he uses his . The spell deals AoE damage even when it hits minions.
 * Moving erratically also helps with dodging.
 * Always try to be behind minions when Corki starts firing as it can do tons of damage with certain items like  or.
