Item explanation (For second build)
Mercury's Treads- the 35 percent reduction on all CC is just GREAT.
Ninja Tabi- if there are 3 or more dpses.
Boots of Swiftness- helps with your low ms but merc treads benefeit me more.
Madred's Bloodrazor- not taken as my as is not even close to 2, i feel that there is no point.
Wit's End- Also no real point as the on hit effect counts on AS. However, when against other mana dependent heroes, the 'up to' 42 mana burn is quite a pain, especially when you get more aggressive. You can also get this against casters as you get some early magic resist.
Trinity Force-Very strong early due to the sheen component as missile barrage will proc it a lot when u spam. All depends on your choice. I would forsake the
Phantom Dancer or
Frozen Mallet depending on whether more damage or survivability is required.
Phantom Dancer- Extra attack speed and critical chance for its prize is quit good. Movement speed increase helps a lot with our slow helicopter/UFO. If getting trinity force, you may replace this item with
Black Cleaver
Guardian Angel- if the enemy dpses are quite fed and are focusing you. This nifty revive will give your team the time to focus that Yi or Tryn flying in all the time.
Banshee's Veil- to defend you from Nukes primarily, removing one part of a combo from a pure caster such as
Le Blanc or
Annie can save you.
Quicksilver Sash- can be gotten for the free cleanse, allowing you to escape from long CCs such as Veigar's
Event Horizon or Nasus's
Wither.
Bloodthirster- for the damage and lifesteal
Infinity Edge- Basic item for any Dps (Plus it was buffed!)
Black Cleaver- I know some people like to add a it in but I left it out for added survivability (
Frozen Mallet and
Banshee's Veil/
Guardian Angel).
Bloodthirster is better IMO as i feel that the damage and lifesteal helps more then armor reduction since if its squishy, hes already dead. If its a tank, leave it to your mates. You can swap the
Phantom Dancer out for this but i feel that the movement speed bonus from it is quite important as corki only has ms of 370 with enhanced movement speed 2, which is from your regular boots.
Last Whisper- Get this if enemies have 2 tanks that have above 200 armor. Usually against
Rammus or
Shen or
Malphite.If not, this item is worthless. However, you are still focusing squishies first, so i do not recommend this item. Unless you are so fed and the squishies are actually forsaking dps items for defense against you.
Atma's Impaler- Get this if you plan to rush frozen mallet after getting you Infinity Edge . However, this is not recommended if you enemy team has like 2+ Ap carries as this gives you armor, not mr, thus not helping you much. Also, the 2 percent bonus is not significant unless you are stacking a lot of health.
Warmog's Armor- I dont get this as i feel that with such amounts of armor/ magic resist, frozen mallet gives enough health. Also, frozen mallet has a slow which can help chasing those low hp champions running after a teamfight. The +20 damage is a a lil cherry on top of your cake.
Manamune- Get this to solve your mana worries. I prefer just conserving mana as this take up 1 valuable item slot. This is because even with 3000 mana, 2 percent is only going to give you 60 damage. If you can conserve mana, you can get another item that can give you a lot more benefits.
Frozen Heart- This can completely solve your mana problems. Also, the 20 percent additional CDR is good for spamming more skills. This can replace thornmail as your defensive item against an AD team. This item also has that great passive of reducing AS of enemy champions around you (1000 range) by 20 percent. The squishies will be affected by this for sure as your attack range is 550. IMO, this item is better than thornmail, but it costs 775 gold more which i rather spend on other stuff. However, i do usually get this when im playng AP corki as the mana and CDR helps a lot.
Sword of the Divine- I usually do not get this as gatling gun scales with ad. However, you can go AS if you like. This is actually very useful against dudes who have high dodge percentages like
Jax. The active comes along with 30 armor penetration! If you would like even more flat armor penetration, get this and it is a flat 55!!! with your runes.
