Corki vs Vayne

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Corki wins by using superior poke and range to punish Vayne's close-range CS attempts.
Maintain stable waves near mid lane to avoid Vayne's all-in windows and scale safely.
Corki's mid-game poke with rockets controls recalls and objective setups better than Vayne.

Trading pattern

Punish Vayne's last-hit attempts by stepping forward with autos and (Q) when her (Q) is down and support threat is low.
Avoid using (W) forward unless (E) wall stun and enemy support engage are on cooldown.
Use (R) rockets repeatedly post-level 6 to chip Vayne before she can engage or reposition.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping up when (E) is available to pin you against terrain or when enemy support controls brush.
Respect (R) stealth (Q) window, which enables her to dodge poke and reposition for all-ins.
Do not engage or use (W) forward if enemy support can immediately follow or punish your position.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm with (Q) poke and autos, avoiding extended fights before item spikes.
Watch for Vayne stepping up for caster minions and punish with autos or (Q) only if enemy support cannot trade back.
Hold wave near mid lane to reduce Vayne's dash angles and deny her safe all-in paths.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks repeated long-range poke; use it to force Vayne off waves and control recalls.
First completed damage item enhances poke damage, making Vayne's close-range trades riskier.
Mid-game item spikes improve wave control and poke reliability, pressuring Vayne to play cautiously.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage into forced recalls and crash waves to take turret plates and dragon control.
Use item spikes to pressure Vayne under tower, denying her free farm and scaling opportunities.
Position safely in mid-game fights to maximize (R) DPS while kiting Vayne's all-in attempts.
