Corki vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable farming to reach item spikes before engaging in extended trades.
Use short (Q) poke and autos to chip Ziggs without overextending into his poke range.
Avoid letting Ziggs clear waves freely to prevent losing lane pressure and control.

Trading pattern

Trade with short (Q) and autos, preserving (W) to escape (W) or (E) engage attempts.
Punish Ziggs when his (W) is on cooldown by stepping forward for poke and wave pressure.
After level 6, use (R) rockets to repeatedly poke and pressure Ziggs before he can respond.

Danger windows

Ziggs is most dangerous with (R) stocked and (W) available for disengage or turret executes.
Using (W) forward early removes Corki's main escape, increasing vulnerability to Ziggs's poke and all-ins.
Avoid extended fights before item spikes when Ziggs's poke and waveclear dominate the lane.

Early game

Focus on last-hitting while using (Q) for safe poke trades without pushing the wave.
Hold (W) for defensive repositioning; avoid using it forward early against Ziggs's poke.
Respect Ziggs's waveclear and poke range to avoid taking unnecessary damage or losing CS.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling sustained poke; use this to control recalls and objective setups.
First completed damage item boosts poke damage; increase pressure on Ziggs while tracking his cooldowns.
Mid-game item spikes enhance poke reliability; leverage this to force Ziggs off the wave or zone him.

Win conditions

Farm through early poke to reach item spikes that amplify Corki's mixed damage and poke.
Use (R) post-6 to control Ziggs's movement, forcing recalls or objective setups.
Punish Ziggs when he wastes (W) or misses (Q) by stepping forward for short trades or wave pressure.
