Recently Corki was nerfed such that his passive doesn't improve crit damage. Because of this I've been considering trying out a phantom dancer instead of infinity edge.

Would this be a strong choice for him?

Phantom Dancer is the AS/Crit/MS item. I think you're thinking of something else.

Uhm, the PD also has large amounts of crit. Basically AD carry's DPS consist of AD times AS times Crit.
In Corki's case, he spams spells too inbetween attacks and has AD ratios on his abilities. Therefore he tends to focus more on AD and crit over AS.

If you were so worried about the nerf, you could take bloodthirsters instead of IE's crit focus. However, your endgame damage would still suffer. Obviously multiplying 3 things together is gonna be stronger than just 2 things multiplied. 4x4x4(64) is a lot bigger than 6x6(24) even though the total sums are the same....if that helps visualize.


I'd recommend TriForce for Corki. His style works well with it and it gives him much of the PD advantages (movespeed, some crit, some AS), while giving tons of other stuff (AP, health, mana, AD, the slow onhit, the ridiculously good damage proc)

Most popular build is building phage right away, then BT, then finish Tri
