Corki vs Lucian

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Corki wins by using longer-range poke and rockets to punish Lucian's short-range burst trades.
The lane turns on denying Lucian short trades and forcing him to farm under poke pressure.
Hold wave near your side to punish Lucian's last-hit attempts while avoiding his dash windows.

Trading pattern

Punish Lucian stepping up for last hits by auto + (Q) when enemy support cannot immediately respond.
Avoid trades if (E) dash is available, as he can dodge poke and counterburst quickly.
Use (R) poke after level 6 to soften Lucian before he can dash in for burst trades.

Danger windows

Lucian's all-in threat peaks when his support can follow up after his (E) dash.
Avoid trading when (Q) poke and (E) reposition are both available.
Do not use (W) forward without knowing Lucian's cooldowns; it exposes you to burst trades.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and poke Lucian when he last-hits caster minions.
Avoid using (W) forward early to prevent giving Lucian an all-in window after his dash.
Watch for Lucian's level 2 spike; avoid extended fights until you have (R) poke at level 6.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks repeated poke; use it to control recalls and force Lucian off CS.
First completed damage item increases your poke threat; pressure waves and punish Lucian's last-hits.
Mid-game item spikes strengthen your sustained poke, making Lucian's short trades riskier.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and CS leads into crashing waves for turret plates and dragon control.
Use health advantage from safe poke to force Lucian recalls before you hit item spikes.
Scale into mid-game where your mixed damage and rockets out-range Lucian's burst trades in fights.
