Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Corki are at a disadvantage because Ashe's range and passive slow make it difficult to land your Q double-bomb combo reliably, and Seraphine's E shields absorb your poke.
Post-6, your R completely changes the dynamic — Corki can play aggressively knowing he has a revive safety net, and your double-bomb stun becomes a kill setup that Ashe and Seraphine cannot easily answer.

Your best trading pattern is to throw one Q on or near the enemy, then wait for Corki to engage with E before throwing the second Q to trigger the stun — this ensures the stun lands during the trade rather than wasting it on a poke.
Use your W to speed Corki into range or yourself out of Ashe R, and save E heals for after trades to sustain through Seraphine's poke.

You should generally not roam early because Corki is not a self-sufficient laner who can handle a 1v2 or even a 1v1 against Ashe safely — leaving him alone gives Ashe free reign to freeze and bully.
The best roam timing is after you've hit 6 and secured a kill or significant HP lead in lane, as your R on a fed mid or jungle can snowball the game while Corki holds wave.

Do not spam Q randomly for poke without a clear double-bomb stun setup — against Seraphine's E shield, isolated Q pokes are largely absorbed and you waste mana while telegraphing your cooldowns.
Your value is the stun combo and the R revive, not sustained poke, so play around those tools deliberately.
