Corki vs Cassiopeia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe CS and short-range poke before level 6 to delay Cassiopeia's sustained trades.
Use medium-range poke with (Q) and autos to chip Cassiopeia post-level 6.
Avoid extended fights without (W) available to reposition from Cassiopeia's grounded zones.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and autos for quick poke trades, preserving (W) defensively to dodge (W) or (R) engages.
After level 6, rely on (R) rockets to chip Cassiopeia before she applies poison for extended trades.
Step up to punish Cassiopeia's missed (Q) or (W) cooldowns with short trades, avoiding all-ins without (W).

Danger windows

Respect Cassiopeia's level 6 (R) stun when facing her to avoid committing or using (W) forward.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is down, as Cassiopeia's sustained damage and grounding become harder to dodge.
Before level 6, avoid prolonged fights where Cassiopeia can apply poison and heal with (E).

Early game

Focus on stable farming and quick (Q) trades to avoid prolonged exposure to poison and (E) damage.
Do not use (W) aggressively early to prevent being trapped by (W) grounding.
Punish Cassiopeia when she misses (Q) by stepping forward for short trades without overcommitting.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) rockets, enabling strong repeated poke to pressure Cassiopeia's positioning.
First completed damage item significantly increases poke threat, allowing more confident wave pressure.
Mid-game item spikes enhance poke damage, forcing Cassiopeia to respect your range and cooldowns.

Win conditions

Scale safely to item spikes, then use (R) to control Cassiopeia's movement and force recalls.
Exploit (W) and (R) cooldowns by poking with (Q) and (R) to deny her extended trades.
Use (W) defensively to reposition and avoid grounded zones and stuns, enabling sustained poke pressure.
