Playstyle
Q (Phosphorus Bomb) pokes from outside the lane as long as mana holds, which is how the enemy mid stays pinned. His passive (Hextech Shrapnel Shells) mixes flat magic damage into autos and partly ignores armour, so after Trinity Force a single auto lands like a spell. W (Valkyrie) is an engage tool, not an escape: it is how he gets into R (Missile Barrage) range. Late, hold missiles and empty the whole stack as the fight opens.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Phosphorus Bomb can be used to reveal enemy units that might be hiding in a nearby patch of brush.
- Valkyrie can be used defensively as well, so try using it for a quick escape.
- Corki can continue to attack while using Gatling Gun. Maximizing Gatling Gun is key to mastering Corki.
Playing against
- Watch out for Corki's Missile Barrage. They deal splash damage, so you can get hit even when hiding behind minions.
- Corki is vulnerable after he uses his Valkyrie, so try switching focus to him if he uses it to enter a fight.
