Hello everyone, Its Alireza knows as Machinegun Corki (EUW), i've been Corki otp since early Season 11, and i was like there isn't any guide content fully enough to understand what the Champion capable of. In this guide im going to show you every single thing about Corki, his Abilities, Builds, Gameplay etc .. -Inventor of RavHydra / Galeforce

When playing Corki, you should choose either Flash and Teleport or Exhaust and Teleport. You can take either of these setups in specific matchups, however, I’d recommend you go Exhaust with Poke build setup against EVERY Assassin MID to stop their all-in, and take Flash in other matchups.



[Summoner Spells]

Summoner Spells
Always
		Flash This is a summoner spell that you MUST have. Helps you to be safe in laningphase. Can be used with your Package + W + Flash or just dodge abilities.
Favorite
		Teleport allows you to mitigate Minion loss/xp for example, when you messed up a wave in laningphase or just did a bad trade ? well you can teleport to save the lane with no trouble.
Situational
		Only pick Exhaust into matchups with a lof of burst damage. for example vs Assassins with Poke setup such as Qiyana / Talon/ Katarina etc and specially always vs Viktor .

Pros : + Safe laningphase + Good vs tanks + Carry potential + Good objective securing with Hextech Munitions + Great 2item/3item + Unreachable with Galeforce

Cons : - No Crowd-Control - Becomes useless when behind ( only Package will be useful ) - Slow early game - Squishy like all ADCs - Highly focused - One mistake with Package = lose - Expensive items

FirstStrike + Resolve


First Strike is only viable option for Corki, allows you to mine some golds to buy expensive items. Try to trade when it's up.

Magical Footwear Comes up with free boots that you get to focus on buying stat items. Generally you take it on champs that don’t need to rush boots.

Since Biscuit Delivery nerf in patch 12.14, only Future's Market is usable. for those who dont know when or how to abuse future market value. it's really simple. Purchase an item before important fight or generally helps in early game with awkward gold.

Cosmic Insight is always best choice because of less cooldown on Teleport in early game, and less cooldown on Flash so you can do flashy plays with Package+W+Flash and win some games.

One of the best Scaling rune is Conditioning , it brings nothing early, but the the Greatest rune when it activates.

Overgrowth is being abused by Longer games. Just have to make sure you CS a lot which you should be doing anyway.


- Also those are only options in Resolve tree.

- Health rune shard isn't necessary but if you are confident enough that you can survive laningphase, go for it.

*TAKE THIS PAGE VS BURST/RESET COMP*



FirstStrike + Sorcery



Same Inspiration tree as i said before, but there are some changes in secondary runes.

Manaflow Band increaseses your manapool, so the trick is stack manaflow as much as possible before first Teleport. Scales insanely good alongside with Muramana

Gathering Storm is a Great scaling rune.

Absolute Focus is the most greediest rune in entire game. If you survive laningphase it carries your damage by 10x. Replace with Manaflow Band

One of the synergy it has is that being FullHP with Package up.

Mythics





Boots



Legendries



POKE VERSION :

Silvermere Dawn The item itself comes from Quicksilver Sash which is great into enemies with CC(except airbones)/spell effects, following example abilities are Malzahar's Nether Grasp / Mordekaiser's Realm of Death / Urgot's Fear Beyond Death etc .. On top of that you gain 50% Tenacity, 50% Slow resist, and Ghosting for 3 seconds

Some mindset examples to consider playing Corki :


◆ Corki's gameplay in the early game is quite simple. Your first goal should be always prioritize CSing over bullying enemy laner due weak early damage and goes out of mana quickly ( if not being managed ) plus he's not a bully in early stages.

Shoving is an option too because they way it works is that by pushing, your opponent is forced to react to minions and you have a opportunity to trade.

Pushing is not permenant way to play. in some cases you gotta play defensive.


◆ Early item goal must be Tear of the Goddess and some extra Long Swords, never complete Caulfield's Warhammer. having 3 LS increases damage in short trades with First Strike




◆ Opening trading as Corki depends what type of champion you are versing :

If it's a Melee champion, Most of the time the combo is E + AA in first few levels.
For example hitting E + AA combo to Yone is just troll. if he is any good he will walk up and run you down
with Lethal Tempo. So it's better to adapt different things in any MU.



◆ Once you achieved level 6, it's alot easier to farm from far away.



◆ At 10 minutes Hextech Munitions comes, ALWAYS save it for important Drakes .
Unless it's Cloud Drake . if it is, Pick it up for a roam.

In addition remember timing it right for next Fights,
try to pick it up around 0:40/0:30 before an objective respawn

- BE PATIENT WITH YOUR Hextech Munitions



◆As Corki you want to stay mid as long as you can because of how good your waveclear is. If your botlane got the first turret and wants to join midlane, It’s very important to also not share exp since the support will probably try to defend midlane with you, you want to catch up solo lane exp and start exerting pressure in a side lane.


◆ Unlike some midlaners : Syndra , Veigar
You have alot of split pushing powers, Create pressure and force them to come and defend vs you.

One of good things about splitpushing is the fact that you will often get a massive EXP/CS lead compared to everyone else while other players are grouped and sharing experience / farm, you get everything for your own.



◆ In later stages of the game you damage will be extremely high so you should be grouping since you can be constantly DPSing in your team's backline.

1 . When do we decide which build is better?

A : We should analyze some factors that contains "Matchups" and "Comp".

Matchups :
In some matchups where you beat enemy mids with Trinity Force version of Corki and sometimes with the other setup.
( it comes with experience )

Comp :
Enemy has alot of 3 AP/AD champs. It's alot easier to stack resistances in Pokebuild.





2 . Luden's Tempest still viable ?


A : NO! DONT



3 . Elixir of Sorcery or Elixir of Wrath

A : Elixir of Wrath


4 . Statikk Shiv as an item ?

Unnecessary wave clear and you won't be able to lifesteal. Waste of money tbh

This is it for one of my first attempts in a written guide. I hope this guide made it easier to understand different type of playstyle and what runes/item does go well together.

Make sure to get in touch with me in the discussion section for any questions or thoughts you like to share. I'll be happy to discuss.

Thankyou.
