Iceborn Gauntlet Corki build with runes and items. Iceborn Gauntlet Corki guide offers in-depth how-to play, skill order and tips. Play Iceborn Gauntlet Corki build in League of Legends Patch 26.4!
For some reason, Riot decided that Corki cannot take Font of Life rune (even though it is perfectly fine to buy items that lets Corki slow with abilities or auto attacks). It's get replaced by Demolish rune.
Optional Summoner Spells
Mark
Mark (Snowball) for a go-in tool if you want to be more aggressive.
Exhaust

Optional Runes
Presence of Mind
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.

You disrupt fights with CC, soak damage, peel off your carries or initiate for your team.
Champion
Thanks to your Passive, Iceborn Gauntlet now also deals true damage (as Spellblade procs works with it)!
Playstyle
🧊
Rush Iceborn Gauntlet to slow and kite the enemy team.

How to play
Getting started
You rush Iceborn Gauntlet #1, then you need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
You can rush Imperial Mandate #2 if you can afford it, this makes this build more fun. However, if you are behind, it is okay to just skip it.
During fights
There's great synergy between Iceborn Gauntlet + Imperial Mandate + Font of Life. You create frozen pools that will persist for a few seconds, slowing enemies, applying Imperial Mandate debuff + Font of Life heal mark for your allies.
Items
For more utility oriented build, you can get Locket of the Iron Solari (sustain) or Shurelya's Battlesong (engages).
Runes
Triumph rune is better overall (heal and gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
