Corki tips:

  • Phosphorus Bomb can be used to reveal enemy units that might be hiding in a nearby patch of brush.
  • Valkyrie can be used defensively as well, so try using it for a quick escape.
  • Corki can continue to attack while using Gatling Gun. Maximizing Gatling Gun is key to mastering Corki.

Playing Against Lucian

  • Lucian has strong burst, but little sustained damage.
  • Lucian cannot change the aim of The Culling. Take advantage of this by avoiding the angle of the bullets.
  • Piercing Light does not give Lucian extra Attack Range. He still needs to find a target in range to line up his shot. Avoid Piercing Light by anticipating the angle Lucian will choose.
