| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Your Q out-ranges Corki's Phosphorus Bomb and refunds E at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | At level 2 you poke safely from behind minions while he trades short. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 Mystic Shot keeps you mana-positive against his costly casts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Through 4-5 your range and mana lead keep you ahead of his poke. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | At 6 Corki has no ult spike, so you keep lane priority and out-trade him. |
| First item | Corki | Corki's first-item hybrid burst and Missile Barrage give him a real all-in window. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | At 2+ items your E and Q range out-space his Valkyrie and rockets. |
You control the opening because your Q out-ranges Corki's Phosphorus Bomb and refunds E, letting you poke for free while he trades at shorter range and burns mana. Stand behind minions to eat his Bomb on creeps and deny the true-damage tick on you, then punch back with Mystic Shot. Keep the mana advantage and he can't afford to keep casting into you.
