Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 to Irelia's mobility and burst, but win decisively at level 6.
- Your ultimate combined with W creates a safe zone where you can out-trade her consistently.
How to Trade
- You want to trade when Irelia uses Q aggressively on minions, then use W and extended auto-Q combos.
- Your sustained damage and healing outscale her burst in longer engagements.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely early and look to slow push waves to create recall timings.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where Irelia can chain Q resets effectively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot afford to waste your W defensively too early in trades.
- Save it for when Irelia commits fully with E-Q combo, as mistiming W leaves you vulnerable to her full rotation.
