Lucian vs Corki

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Lucian wins short burst trades with support setup before Corki hits item spikes.
Control small waves to use (E) aggressively and punish Corki's last-hit attempts.
Corki scales better with poke and rockets; deny free farm to delay his mid-game power.

Trading pattern

Punish Corki's last-hit animations with (Q) through low-health minions only if enemy support is out of position.
Avoid using (E) forward without support cooldowns; Corki can punish your dash with poke or reposition.
Trade short bursts after Corki wastes (W) reposition or misses (Q) poke to reduce his poke threat.

Danger windows

(R) rockets post-level 6 create extended poke angles; avoid stepping up without support peel.
(W) reposition is his main escape; respect its cooldown before committing to all-ins.
Avoid stepping into brush or river zones controlled by enemy support that enable immediate follow-up trades.

Early game

Contest level 2 trades with support cover to force Corki off low-health caster minions.
Thin waves early to reduce Corki's poke angles and create safe (E) dash windows.
Hold brush control to safely punish Corki stepping forward for CS without risking support engage.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (E) dash and passive burst; use this to contest early wave control aggressively.
First completed marksman item boosts burst trades; force recalls or dragon priority before Corki's poke scales.
Level 6 (R) lets Corki poke repeatedly; respect rocket availability and punish after he uses (W) or rockets.

Win conditions

Convert early lane pressure into CS leads and plate damage by crashing waves before Corki scales.
Use support-enabled burst trades and (E) mobility to force Corki into unsafe recalls.
Leverage early item spikes to secure dragon vision and teamfight positioning before Corki's poke becomes oppressive.
