Draven vs Corki

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Draven wins by punishing Corki's CS attempts with (Q) empowered autos during short trades.
Hold wave near your side to force Corki into risky last-hit zones and deny safe poke.
Corki scales better mid-game, so snowball early with support cover and cash in kills fast.

Trading pattern

Hit Corki during last-hit animations with (Q) autos only if enemy support can't immediately trade back.
Use (E) to interrupt (W) dash or disengage attempts when committing to all-ins.
Drop last-hit punish if enemy support controls brush or threatens your axe catch zones.

Danger windows

(R) stocked post-level 6 creates long-range poke zones; avoid stepping up without (E) ready.
Respect (W) reposition cooldown; forcing fights when it's down increases all-in safety.
Avoid catching axes in enemy support engage zones or near brush controlled by Corki's team.

Early game

Use first three waves to keep (Q) axes active and punish Corki's last hits under support pressure.
Win level 2 trades by stepping forward during Corki's caster minion last hits when support can't punish.
Avoid large waves that force unsafe (Q) catches near enemy support or brush control.

Power spikes

Level 1 (Q) gives strong early trades; stand forward with support to deny Corki CS and poke.
First completed damage item turns (Q) trades into kill threats; force short trades before Corki stabilizes.
After first item, use lane control to cash in passive stacks and pressure Corki before his poke spikes.

Win conditions

Convert early kill pressure into recalls and crashing waves to take turret plates and dragon setups.
Use support pressure to secure safe (Q) catches and snowball gold leads before Corki's item spikes.
Dominate lane tempo to deny Corki free farm and force him under tower before mid-game poke scales.
