This is Lucian's own plan; across 3,257 pooled games the lane is leaning Lucian.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lucian | Lucian's Lightslinger burst out-trades a mana-starved, weak-auto Corki at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Lucian | Lucian gains dash tempo while Corki has no early escape. |
| Level 3 | Lucian | Lucian's E punishes Corki's Q whiffs for a winning level-3 trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lucian | Lucian dominates levels 4-5 shoving before Corki's item spike. |
| Level 6 | Lucian | Lucian's Culling hard-kills Corki whose R is only poke at 6. |
| First item | Lucian | Lucian's first-item spike out-duels Corki's one-item damage. |
| Two+ items | Corki | Corki takes over at two-plus items with Gatling shred and Missile Barrage kiting. |
Levels 1-2 you comfortably out-trade Corki. He is mana-starved and his autos are weak early, while your Lightslinger passive turns every Q or auto into extra burst. He has no early dash to escape, so punish any walk-up to last-hit or bomb the wave and keep him low on resources. His mana runs out before his health does, so make him clear and then step in during the gap. Open with Piercing Light through the caster line and let the passive shots land on him. Keep the dash for the moment he uses Valkyrie, since a Corki who has spent it cannot leave the exchange you started.
