How to Play Corin Wickes

Corin is an Attack agent who wants to enter on-field during the stun window to unload all her resources and deal high damage.

Outside of stun Corin will want to focus on using her basic attacks to build up energy and decibels, perfect assists and dodge counters can generate a lot of decibles too. You should save these for the stun window.

A lot of Corins attacks, such as Basic Attack 5, Dash Attack and Defensive Assist are very long, this generates a lot of energy. Her Mindscape 4 also contributes to this.

Out of stun, Corin is quite free from with her rotations, simply spending her energy as and when to avoid over capping on it. Her stun window is however quite simple. Opening with a chain attack, canceling into her ex, another chain and finishing off with her ultimate.

Corin Wickes's Best Mindscapes

As an A rank agent, Corins mindscapes will be unlocked as you play the game, her M1, M2, and M6 are all simple DPS increases that just happen by playing the character. M4 Battlefield Retainer is a substantial increase to Corins energy regen which can help with rotations.
