Read from Corki's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Veigar.
This is Corki's own plan; across 647 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even as Veigar's ranged Baleful Strike trades with Corki's early poke. |
| Level 2 | Corki | At level 2 Corki's Phosphorus Bomb and mobility out-poke Veigar's clunky kit. |
| Level 3 | Corki | Level 3 Corki punishes Veigar's cooldowns and short range with free harass. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 even out as a landed Event Horizon lets Veigar burst Corki back. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a wash: Missile Barrage burst versus Primordial Burst on a caged target. |
| First item | Corki | At first item Corki out-DPSes Veigar in any fight where the cage misses. |
| Two+ items | Corki | With 2+ items Corki's kiting and Valkyrie blink deny Veigar the lockdown his burst needs. |
Level 1 is even (Skill): Veigar's Baleful Strike can poke and last-hit at range while your Phosphorus Bomb answers, so trade carefully and don't feed him early stacks by walking into his Q line. Every minion he executes is permanent scaling, so contesting the wave is a trade even with no damage in it. The cage stuns on its rim and lasts twenty seconds at rank one, so pick an entry angle that still has an exit and Bomb him on the beat after it drops.
