Jhin vs Corki

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Jhin's fourth-shot punish against Corki's forced CS steps.
Jhin wins short trades and lane pressure by exploiting bounce damage through low-health minions.
Corki scales with poke and mobility, so Jhin must control wave state and support setup to punish safely.

Trading pattern

Punish Corki's last-hit attempts with empowered fourth shot only if enemy support can't trade back.
Use (Q) bounce through low-health caster minions to harass Corki stepping up for CS.
Hold (W) for targets marked by support CC or traps to ensure root follow-up and burst trades.

Danger windows

Avoid trading when (W) reposition is available, as he can dodge follow-ups and counterpoke.
Beware of (R) poke stacks before objectives, which punish stepping up for CS or recalls.
Do not punish last hits if enemy support controls brush or threat zone, as Corki can safely trade back.

Early game

Hold the wave thin to create clean (Q) bounce angles on Corki's last hits.
Use level 2 power to coordinate (W) roots with support CC for early pick attempts.
Avoid pushing without trap or support coverage to reduce (W) reposition threat.

Power spikes

Fourth shot ready: forces Corki to give up contested CS or take heavy burst trades.
Level 6 (R) unlocks long-range execute to punish Corki's retreat paths after trades or dragon fights.
First completed damage item strengthens fourth-shot trades, enabling recall and plate pressure.

Win conditions

Convert fourth-shot lane pressure into forced Corki recalls and turret plate damage.
Use trap zones and (R) to control dragon approaches and punish Corki's predictable paths.
Build health leads through short trades and freeze or crash waves to deny Corki safe farming windows.
