Just picked up Corki in Wild Rift and need a few pointers? Don't worry, simply read on for our guide to the Daring Bombardier and you'll be a master of the midlane in no time at all.
Runes
Corki is one of the few rare marksmen that can make the move to the mid lane. This is due to fact that he actually functions very similarly to an AP Mage, as his Missile Barrage can deal a lot of magic damage and he can poke from long range using his auto-attacks.
We've opted for Kleptomancy for his keystone, which is extremely easy to activate with Missile Barrage, his ultimate. This choice will allow you to acquire numerous activated abilities which often can help you reposition yourself during a fight.
In red, Gathering Storm is often an essential choice if you want to scale effectively into the late game. In green, Renegeration will allow you to offset your heavy mana consumption, which is particularly handy given how close Corki is to a traditional mage!
Finally, Manaflow Band can be activated easily and often, ultimately rewarding you with another 300 mana to your total mana, which comes in handy when you're poking with your ultimate.

Main Items
The items you buy will vary heavy from game to game, depending on the composition of the enemy team. We've put together a list of the most powerful items for Corki, ranked by their effectiveness. Items in bold are vital purchases that you'll pick up in the majority of your matches on this champion.
Tips & Tricks
- One of Corki's passives lets him frequently pick up "The Package" from the fountain. Once you've got your hands on it, you should automatically start roaming to the botlane or toplane. Your enemies won't have the time to react to your numerical advantage.
- During the laning phase, a good part of your poke comes from your use of your auto-attack > Phosphorous Bomb > auto-attack combo. You should also use Gatling during fights that drag out.
- Phosphorous Bomb can be used to check brushes.
