Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 as Irelia can all-in you with Q resets through minions and her passive stacks.
- At level 6, you gain significant advantage with your ultimate's execute potential and mobility to kite her engages.
How to Trade
- You should poke with Q through minions when Irelia goes for CS, then immediately use your E to swing away when she tries to engage.
- Never trade in extended fights - use your range advantage for short burst trades only.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Irelia easy Q resets through minions.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can roam, as this gives her perfect setup for all-ins with minion waves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must never fight Irelia when she has 4-5 passive stacks or when there are low-health minions she can Q through to reach you.
- Respect her level 2-3 power spike and don't greed for CS if it means taking a bad trade.
