Vladimir vs Corki

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Vladimir is a scaling mage with low early agency who must survive Corki's poke to reach his AP spikes.
Avoid giving Corki free poke windows by managing health and cooldowns carefully, focusing on farming safely.

Trading pattern

Take short trades around empowered Q and avoid trading when it is down.
Punish Corki if he uses W forward by stepping up for trades before it returns.
Respect Corki R poke and avoid extended fights before you have your own power spikes.

Danger windows

Corki is dangerous when Corki R is stocked and he can poke freely.
Vladimir is vulnerable after using W due to its long cooldown and health cost.
Avoid fighting when empowered Q is down or before your first item spike.

Early game

Use Q to sustain through Corki's poke and avoid extended trades before level 6.
Avoid forcing W early to prevent long cooldown vulnerability.
Focus on farming and preserving health rather than trying to pressure Corki's wave.

Power spikes

Vladimir's major spikes: level 6 R, first completed AP item, and mid-game cooldown spikes.
Corki's major spikes: level 6 Corki R and first completed damage item.
Respect Corki's item spikes as his poke damage increases significantly then.

Win conditions

Survive early poke with Q sustain and avoid using W unnecessarily.
Scale into your AP and cooldown spikes to threaten grouped fights with R.
Punish Corki when his W is down or when he overcommits to poke with Corki R.

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