Who Wins
- You win all pre-6 trades through superior range and consistent soldier poke, maintaining distance while farming safely.
- Post-6, you lose the 1v1 if Irelia gets on top of you, but can still win if you maintain proper spacing and use R defensively to create distance.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is W-Q-auto combos when she goes for CS, then immediately repositioning soldiers to maintain threat zones.
- Focus on short, consistent poke rather than extended trades, as her sustained damage and healing will eventually overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push or neutral wave state to keep soldiers positioned optimally while avoiding overextension.
- Hard shove only when you can recall safely, as being pushed up without vision makes you extremely vulnerable to her all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your E aggressively for trades, as it's your only reliable escape tool against her engage potential.
- Never let her stack passive on minions for free while you're in range, as this sets up her strongest all-in windows where she can gap-close and burst you down.
