Overview

Prioritize maintaining distance and leveraging long-range poke to prevent Corki from safely using Corki R and Corki Q.

Trading pattern

Poke with Q from max range and zone Corki with E to control his approach paths.
Save W as a disengage tool against Corki's Corki W reposition or to finish off low turret plates.
