Corki vs Sylas

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize farming and short poke trades with (Q) and autos to reach item spikes safely.
Respect (E) engage and (W) sustain by avoiding extended trades and overcommitting.
Use post-6 (R) poke to control lane fights and force Sylas to play around cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and autos for short trades, preserving (W) for repositioning against (E) engages.
Rely on (R) poke after level 6 to soften Sylas before longer fights and avoid extended trades.
Punish Sylas when (W) or (E) are down by increasing poke pressure and wave control.

Danger windows

Sylas is most dangerous when (E) is up, threatening knockup engage; respect spacing.
Avoid fighting without (W) available, as it is Corki's main escape tool against all-ins.
Be cautious during (W) heal uptime, as extended trades favor his sustain.

Early game

Avoid using (W) forward without knowing (E) cooldown to prevent easy all-ins.
Keep wave stable near mid to deny Sylas melee windows and minimize his engage threat.
Punish Sylas's missed (E) engages by stepping forward with poke or crashing the wave.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for repeated poke; use it to pressure Sylas and control recalls.
First damage item spike increases poke threat; trade more confidently while tracking (E) and (W).
Mid-game item spikes enhance poke damage; avoid extended fights where Sylas's sustain wins.

Win conditions

Farm safely to item spikes, then use (R) rockets to chip Sylas and control mid-game fights.
Punish Sylas's missed (E) engages by stepping forward for poke and denying melee access.
Use poke cooldown windows to force Sylas off the wave and secure priority for roams or objectives.

Tip: For Corki vs Sylas, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
