Corki vs Ziggs

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Corki punishing Ziggs's low mobility and forced last-hit paths with (Q) and (R) poke.
Corki wins extended trades post-6 with repeat rocket pressure, while Ziggs controls wave with poke and clears.
Corki wants stable waves near mid to safely scale into his item spikes and force Ziggs to farm under pressure.

Trading pattern

Punish Ziggs when he steps up for caster minion last hits by autoing and following with (Q) if enemy support is not threatening.
Use (R) to soften Ziggs before extended fights, especially when he is low or forced to farm near your range.
Avoid committing (W) forward unless (W) and (R) are on cooldown to reduce all-in risk.

Danger windows

Avoid fighting when (W) is available, as it can knock Corki away or execute low turrets.
Respect (R) window for burst poke, especially if your (W) reposition is on cooldown.
Beware stepping into (E) minefield zones or support engage range, which can enable follow-up damage.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and chip Ziggs with (Q) when he last-hits caster minions.
Avoid using (W) forward early to prevent being vulnerable to Ziggs's poke and support engage.
Hold the wave near mid to reduce Ziggs's poke angles and punish his last-hit attempts when safe.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks repeat (R) poke, letting Corki pressure Ziggs's recalls and force safer farming.
First completed damage item increases Corki's poke damage, enabling safer wave pressure and last-hit punish.
Mid-game item spikes strengthen Corki's poke, making earlier neutral trades unfavorable for Ziggs.

Win conditions

Convert poke damage and health leads into crashing waves to take turret plates before recalls.
Use post-6 (R) poke to control river vision and set up dragon fights with safer positioning.
Scale into mid-game item spikes to outpoke Ziggs in teamfights and secure objective siege pressure.
