Corki Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Jungle

When Corki Jungle gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Corki wins most.

Lv 3
All three basic abilities at level 3
Corki's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
Lv 6
Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Corki hits it.
Lv 11
Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Corki can start or win.
Lv 16
Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Corki can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.

Corki Mid and Late Game

What Corki does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Corki is a main damage source (94/100): stay alive and in range for the whole fight rather than diving first.
Corki farms well (percentile 88): keep catching side waves between fights.
Side-lane pressure pays: Corki rates 77/100 for damage to buildings. Push a side wave while the team holds mid.
Corki wins 71.4 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

Vision is a weak spot (11/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.

Playing Corki

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 Corki

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 or Special Delivery, so try switching focus to him if he uses them to enter a fight.
