Corki vs Tristana

Confidence highUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Focus on stable CS and poke with (Q) and autos until item spikes are reached.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 or first damage item to prevent all-in risk.
Use (R) poke after level 6 to control river setups and force enemy recalls.

Trading pattern

Take short trades using (Q) and autos, preserving (W) for escapes.
Use (R) repeatedly after level 6 to poke before objectives or recalls.
Punish Tristana when she wastes (W) forward without support follow-up.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in with (W) and (E) burst, especially with support follow-up.
Avoid fighting when (W) is on cooldown as Corki loses mobility to escape.
Beware of her (R) knockback disrupting your positioning in trades or all-ins.

Early game

Prioritize last-hitting and short poke trades without using (W) forward early.
Respect Tristana's level 2 jump all-in threat and avoid overextending without vision.
Use minion waves to keep safe distance and avoid getting caught by her (E) burst stacks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for repeated poke; use this window to pressure and reset safely.
First completed damage item increases poke threat; trade more confidently post-item.
Mid-game item spikes strengthen poke damage; force recalls and contest objectives then.

Win conditions

Scale through early waves to hit item spikes, then use (R) to control mid-game fights.
Punish Tristana's jump misuse by kiting back and following up with poke.
Use poke pressure to force enemy recalls and secure vision around mid-game objectives.

Tip: For Corki vs Tristana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
