Read from Nilah's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Corki.
This is Nilah's own plan; across 475 pooled games the lane is Nilah-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1-2 is even skill — his poke offsets your safe melee farming with no all-in yet. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | At 2 he still has Q poke and you lack the second dash, keeping it a skill trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3-5 stays even because Valkyrie lets him escape the all-ins you start. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain skill-dependent around his Valkyrie and poke cooldowns. |
| Level 6 | Nilah | Level 6 Apotheosis re-closes and roots him past his one dash — your favour. |
| First item | Nilah | Your first item's whip-splash and sustain out-trade his poke pattern for you. |
| Two+ items | Nilah | With 2+ items your dodge-shield and dash-threat outscale his immobile carry frame. |
Levels 1-2 are even skill: Corki has a strong Q poke and auto range but no lane presence to punish you hard, and you have no dash yet, so farm the wave and only step up when his Q is down. He has poke and no lane presence, so farm with the whip in the gaps and refuse to walk forward for a minion you cannot reach safely. Your spike is level two, not level one. Once Slipstream is up, the wave itself becomes a bridge to him, so keep it near the middle of the lane.
