Anivia vs Corki

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Corki's last-hit attempts before he hits item spikes.
Anivia controls wave access and zone with (Q) and (W) to deny Corki safe CS.
Corki scales well with poke and mobility, so avoid extended fights and force cooldown windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto and combo (Q)+(E) when Corki commits to last-hit without support threat.
Use (W) terrain to block Corki's repositioning and funnel him into your (Q) stun.
Avoid trades if (W) is available, as he can dash away and punish your cooldowns.

Danger windows

(R) stocked with (W) available creates a high poke threat; avoid stepping up for CS.
Stepping into brush or river control without vision risks Corki's support follow-up and poke combos.
Missing (Q) leaves you vulnerable to Corki's short-range poke and mobility trades.

Early game

Use early waves to hold near your tower and punish Corki stepping up for caster minions.
At level 2, prioritize landing (Q) to set up (E) burst when Corki last-hits under pressure.
Watch support position to decide when to punish Corki's low-health minion approach safely.

Power spikes

After level 6 and first mana/AP item, Anivia can zone Corki effectively and farm freely.
Corki's level 6 (R) spike demands you hold (Q) and (W) for defensive zoning and counterpoke.
Post-item spikes let you pressure waves and trades more confidently but respect Corki's poke reach.

Win conditions

Convert last-hit punish windows into CS leads and crash waves to deny Corki plates.
Use zoning with (R) after 6 to force Corki recalls and secure dragon vision control.
Scale into teamfights where your zone control and burst can outmatch Corki's poke and mobility.
