Vayne vs Corki

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on denying Corki's safe CS with (Q) autos and punishing his short-range last hits.
Vayne wins extended trades by kiting and using (E) to (E) Corki into walls for stuns.
Corki's poke with (Q) and (R) forces Vayne to respect spacing early, but Vayne scales harder and wins side-lane duels.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto Corki when he commits to last-hit animations on low-health minions, only if enemy support can't punish.
Hold (E) to (E) Corki into lane walls after he uses (W) forward or (R) poke.
Avoid using (Q) forward when (W) is up to prevent getting caught by his reposition or poke.

Danger windows

Corki's full (R) missile stock combined with (W) reposition creates a high poke threat before objectives.
Stepping into brush or river control without vision risks Corki's support engaging or zoning.
Avoid extended trades when (W) is available, as he can reposition to punish your aggression.

Early game

Use the first three waves to hold a wave near your tower to reduce Corki's poke angles.
Punish Corki's last-hit attempts on caster minions when his support cannot trade back.
Avoid pushing early without vision to prevent (W) reposition from enabling engages.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Vayne stealth reposition and outplay Corki's poke; use it to bait and punish overextensions.
First marksman item spike enhances Vayne's DPS, enabling safer all-ins and better wave pressure.
Two-item side-lane spike turns Vayne into a strong duelist against Corki, forcing him to avoid isolated fights.

Win conditions

Convert last-hit punish windows into CS leads and force Corki off the wave before item spikes.
Crash waves after item spikes to deny Corki turret plates and secure dragon vision control.
Use (R) stealth tumbles in teamfights to reposition safely and maximize true damage on priority targets.
