§ 07b — Advanced MechanicsCorki: combos & tips Wild Rift

Standard poke combo
1 E E
2 Q Q
3 W W

Place Gatling for DPS, use Phosphorus Bomb for reveal and damage, then reposition with Valkyrie.

Close-range burst combo
1 W W
2 E E
3 Q Q
4 R R

Charge in with Valkyrie, use Gatling for armour/MR shred, Phosphorus Bomb, then Big One for maximum damage.

The Package combo
1 W W
2 Q Q
3 E E
4 R R

Use Special Delivery (upgraded version of W) to engage a target, then spam R rockets.

Long-range poke
1 R R
2 R R
3 R R
4 Q Q

Spam Missile Barrage for poke, alternating with Big One (every third rocket).

Mechanical Tips

  • The Package: spawns at Corki’s spawn point and every 150s at base. Always go and collect it between fights — Special Delivery is a game-changer. The Package does not affect Valkyrie’s normal cooldown.
  • Missile Barrage (R): the Big One is every third rocket — more damage and AoE. Count the stacks for optimal burst timing.
  • Tri-damage (passive): Corki deals 80% magic + 20% physical damage — against tanks with MR, it always retains a physical component.
  • Phosphorus Bomb (Q): Reveals invisible units and bushes — use to check bushes before entering them.
  • Valkyrie (W): leaves a trail of fire. Use it to create an area of effect, not just as a dash.

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting to pick up The Package — one of Corki’s biggest strengths.
  • Using up all your rockets without saving The Big One for the final burst.
  • Engaging with W without an escape plan — Corki is squishy, and W is also his escape move.

Notable Interactions

  • Gatling Gun (E) reduces enemies’ armour and magic resistance with each tick — ideal for setting up damage for the team.
  • Corki has excellent long-range poke via R — play it safe and harass from a distance before engaging.
  • The Package Special Delivery deals massive area-of-effect damage and is unstoppable whilst in flight.
