Corki vs Samira

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Corki wins extended trades by using (R) rockets to poke before Samira can all-in.
Samira thrives in short, all-in fights with support engage, so avoid early overcommit.
Hold wave near your tower to punish Samira's short-range last-hit attempts safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Samira's last-hit animations with (Q) and autos only if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (R) to soften Samira before she can dash in, especially when she wastes (W) projectile block.
Avoid extended trades if (W) is available to block your poke or if Samira's support threatens follow-up.

Danger windows

Samira is dangerous when her support lands CC enabling her (E) dash reset for all-in.
Avoid fighting when (W) is up to block your key poke abilities.
Respect (R) channel during grouped fights, especially with support engage nearby.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and poke Samira when she last-hits caster minions.
Avoid using (W) forward early to keep escape ready against Samira's dash and engage.
Watch for Samira's support position in brush before stepping up to punish her CS.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks repeated poke, letting Corki control recalls and force Samira off waves.
First completed damage item increases poke threat, making Samira's all-in riskier to attempt.
Mid-game item spikes strengthen (R) poke, allowing safer wave pressure and last-hit punishment.

Win conditions

Win by punishing Samira's last-hit attempts with (Q) and (R) before objectives or recalls.
Convert poke damage into plate gold by crashing waves after forcing Samira off.
Use item spikes and poke control to secure dragon vision and teamfight positioning mid-game.
