Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Irelia's superior sustained damage and healing from Q resets on minions.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R lockdown, but only if you can land E engage when her passive stacks are low.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve E engage into W slow, then Q1-AA-Q2 burst combo before disengaging with movement speed.
- Avoid extended trades where she can stack passive and heal through minion Qs.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing near your tower to deny her minion resets and force risky E engages.
- Push only when you have jungle pressure or can recall safely, as she excels at punishing overextensions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight her when she has 4-5 passive stacks or when surrounded by low-health minions she can Q reset through.
- Missing your E engage puts you in an extremely vulnerable position for 16+ seconds.
