Corki Dragon Lane

His passive adds true damage to Spellblade hits as well as attacks, so every charge he spends carries damage that armor does not blunt.

Build second to help finish enemies chipped down by Missile Barrage (Ult) and Corki's spell-and-attack rotation. Its execute rewards repeated poke, while Attack Damage and crit strengthen his follow-up attacks.

Build third to strengthen Corki's critical strikes after Essence Reaver and The Collector. His passive true damage scales with crit, so this spike also raises the part of his attack damage armor does not touch.

Build fourth to keep Corki's physical damage effective as enemies gain Armor, alongside Gatling Gun's (3rd) resistance reduction. Giant Slayer adds damage against bonus Health; choose Mortal Reminder instead when enemy healing is the bigger problem.

The Attack Damage, Lifesteal, and overheal shield support his basic attacks when he needs sustained damage instead of pure poke.

Replace The Collector when safer attack range matters more than finishing low-health enemies. The Energized range bonus helps Corki weave a basic attack between Missile Barrage (Ult) casts while keeping more distance from enemy engage.

Build this against armor stackers or enemies who heal. Choose it over Lord Dominik's Regard when enemy healing is the bigger problem, since Grievous Wounds stops targets from recovering Corki's damage.

Build this when you keep dying after diving in. His dash is usually spent arriving, not leaving.

Build this when one stun is what stops him getting his rotation off, since his damage needs him alive and casting rather than locked down at the edge of a fight.

Replace Bloodthirster after the damage core when Corki needs to survive the initial engage long enough to use Valkyrie (2nd) and resume his spell-and-attack rotation. Shieldbow keeps AD and crit while adding a Lifeline shield.
