Corki vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on punishing Anivia's slow movement and long cooldowns with safe poke and last-hit pressure.
Corki wins extended trades post-6 with repeated (R) poke, but must avoid early all-ins without (W).
Favor stable wave states near your side to safely farm toward item spikes and punish Anivia's CS attempts.

Trading pattern

Punish Anivia's last-hit animations on low-health minions with autos and (Q) if enemy support cannot punish.
Use (R) poke after level 6 to force recalls or zone Anivia before objectives.
Avoid extended trades without (W) available, as (Q) stun and (R) slow punish overcommitments.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun combined with (W) terrain to avoid getting rooted and punished.
Avoid trading when (R) is active, as its slow and damage zone punishes forward positioning.
Do not use (W) forward without vision of enemy support cooldowns, as it exposes you to all-ins.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and punish Anivia's last hits with (Q) and autos.
Avoid using (W) forward early to prevent easy all-ins when Anivia or her support can engage.
Position near your support and brush to deny Anivia safe access to step up for CS.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling repeated poke that controls recalls and river setups; track its availability.
First completed damage item boosts poke damage, allowing safer pressure on Anivia's waveclear and CS.
Mid-game items increase poke threat, making earlier neutral trades dangerous for Anivia if (R) is stocked.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into CS leads by crashing waves when Anivia steps up for last hits.
Use post-6 (R) poke to pressure for turret plates and dragon control with support peel.
Scale into mid-game item spikes to outpoke Anivia in teamfights and secure objective sieges safely.
