Corki vs Lucian

Confidence highUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize stable wave states to safely farm toward your item spikes against Lucian's early burst.
Use (Q) poke to contest CS and chip Lucian before he can engage with (E).
Rely on post-level 6 (R) rockets to control mid-game fights and force Lucian off the wave.

Trading pattern

Take short trades using (Q) and autos, preserving (W) to escape Lucian's burst and (E) engages.
Use (R) poke after level 6 to soften Lucian before committing to longer trades.
Punish Lucian when he uses (E) aggressively by stepping up with poke and forcing cooldowns.

Danger windows

Respect Lucian's level 2 burst window when his (E) and passive double shots enable quick trades.
Avoid using (W) forward without vision or cooldown advantage to prevent getting all-in'd.
Beware when Lucian's support enables his dash trades; maintain spacing and hold (W) for repositioning.

Early game

Hold the wave near your turret early to avoid Lucian's level 2 burst with support setup.
Avoid using (W) forward pre-level 6 to prevent being vulnerable to Lucian's short trades.
Thin the wave before reset timing to maintain safe CS access and deny Lucian easy all-in windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) rockets, shifting lane control to sustained poke; use this to pressure Lucian's recalls.
First completed damage item significantly boosts your poke threat; increase wave pressure and trade confidence.
Mid-game item spikes improve poke damage; force Lucian to respect your range and limit his all-in attempts.

Win conditions

Scale safely through early waves to reach item spikes where your poke dominates.
Use (R) rockets to control river vision and force Lucian off CS before objectives.
Coordinate with supportive allies to punish Lucian's short-range all-ins and extend lane priority.
