Zed vs Corki

Updated Jun 1, 2026

Overview

Zed is a high-agency assassin aiming to burst Corki before he can scale into mid-game poke dominance.
Apply lane pressure to deny Corki safe farming and prevent him from freely using Corki R poke.

Trading pattern

Use W + E for guaranteed damage, then Q to finish trades before Corki can respond with Corki R.
Respect Corki R poke after level 6 by engaging quickly before he can stack rockets.
Avoid missing W engage; if W misses, back off to avoid Corki's counterpoke.

Danger windows

Corki is dangerous when Corki R is stocked and he can poke repeatedly from range.
If Corki has Corki W available, he can reposition to escape your all-in, so engage when Corki W is down.
Avoid extended fights before your level 3 spike and before you have your lethality item.

Early game

Avoid extended trades before level 3 as Zed is vulnerable to Corki's poke and ranged harassment.
Use level 3 W-E-Q combo to threaten all-ins and force Corki to play cautiously.
Punish Corki if he uses Corki W forward by engaging immediately with W-E combo.

Power spikes

Zed's major spikes: level 3 W-E-Q combo, level 6 R all-in, and first lethality item.
Corki's major spikes: level 6 Corki R poke and first completed damage item.
Respect Corki's item spikes as his poke damage increases significantly then.

Win conditions

Win by bursting Corki quickly using W-E-Q combo and R to finish before he can kite with Corki W and poke with Corki R.
Deny Corki safe farm and poke windows to delay his item spikes.
Use your mobility and burst to force Corki into defensive play and snowball from early kills.

Tip: For Zed vs Corki, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
