Corki vs Jhin

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This matchup hinges on Corki's ability to punish Jhin's last-hit attempts without overextending into his root setup.
Corki benefits from stable waves to safely farm toward item spikes while avoiding Jhin's fourth-shot burst.
Corki wins extended trades post-6 with repeated (R) poke, while Jhin excels in short trades with empowered autos.

Trading pattern

Punish Jhin's last-hit animations when his fourth shot is on cooldown and enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (Q) and autos to chip Jhin before he can root with (W), then back off before support engages.
After level 6, leverage (R) rockets to soften Jhin before he can safely contest CS or trade.

Danger windows

Respect Jhin's fourth shot ready when contesting cannon or melee minions, as it punishes stepping up.
Avoid stepping forward when Jhin's support controls brush or can immediately follow root (W) for all-in.
Be cautious if (W) is forced or used forward, as Corki becomes vulnerable to Jhin's burst and root follow-up.

Early game

Hold the wave near your side to deny Jhin clean fourth-shot last-hit angles on cannon and melee minions.
Use (Q) to poke when Jhin steps up for low-health minions but avoid pushing into enemy support threat.
Avoid using (W) forward early to prevent giving Jhin and his support an all-in window.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Corki, enabling repeated long-range poke that pressures Jhin's positioning.
First completed damage item strengthens Corki's poke, making Jhin's fourth-shot trades riskier.
Mid-game item spikes enhance Corki's wave control and poke, forcing Jhin to play more cautiously.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and health leads into crashing waves for turret plates and dragon setups.
Use sustained (R) poke post-item spikes to zone Jhin from safe recalls and objective approaches.
Maintain safe spacing to scale into mid-game where Corki's mixed damage and mobility outmatch Jhin's burst.
