| Level 3 | Corki | Level 3 Corki's shred beats a Kai'Sa still lacking Plasma stacks and evolutions. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even as she nears item breakpoints and gains poke. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is an even skill check: her R shield-dash matches your Valkyrie mobility. |
| First item | Corki | At first item your burst spike lands before her evolutions come online. |
| Two+ items | Corki | With 2+ items you stay ahead by forcing tempo before a fully evolved Kai'Sa scales. |
Level 1 is an even skill check: both of you have weak early autos, so focus on clean last-hits and avoid feeding her Plasma stacks before either of you commits.
