Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Irelia's superior sustained damage and minion mobility with Q resets.
- Post-6 you win all-ins if you land E properly, as your burst combo can 100-0 her while your E makes you untargetable during her key damage windows.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to bait her E, then immediately E onto her when it's down for a quick W-auto-Q combo before backing off.
- Never extended trade without your E available, as she will run you down with Q resets and sustained damage from her passive.
Wave Control
- Push early waves hard with W-auto and Q to hit level 6 first, then look for roam timings when she's stuck farming under tower.
- Avoid freezing as she can use minions for Q mobility and will eventually out-sustain you in extended laning phases.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively for poke early game, as it's your only escape tool and she can easily run you down with Q resets if you're caught without it.
- Never fight her when she has full passive stacks, as her sustained damage will outduel your burst before level 6.
