| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 Ziggs' longer-range Q and Hexplosive Minefield start out-poking and zoning Corki. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Through levels 4-5 Ziggs' Satchel and minefield deny Corki CS and safe trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 evens out as Missile Barrage matches Ziggs' poke and Mega Bomb threat. |
| First item | Corki | At first item Corki out-scales the lane bully and closes the range gap with Valkyrie. |
| Two+ items | Corki | With 2+ items Corki blinks past the minefield and bursts squishy immobile Ziggs first. |
Level 1 is even (Skill): Ziggs' Bouncing Bomb has huge range but is a single dodgeable shot early, so trade back with Phosphorus Bomb and last-hit safely before his zone control comes online. Bouncing Bomb returns every six seconds at rank one, so the gap is short and stepping up on the cast is the only way to take it. Stand off the bounce path and let the wave eat the splash. Hold Valkyrie for his Hexplosive Minefield rather than his damage, because the slow is what actually gets you killed.
