Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 as Irelia has stronger base damage and sustain through Q resets on minions.
- At level 6, you win the all-in if you dodge her E with your Q and have Counterstrike ready to block her auto attacks.
How to Trade
- You want to trade when your Counterstrike is available and she has used her E ability.
- Jump on her with Q, activate W for the empowered auto, then immediately use E to dodge her burst and stun her when she tries to disengage.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and letting the wave push toward you in early levels.
- Once you have Sheen and level 6, you can start looking for longer trades and all-ins when the wave is in a favorable position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must not waste your Counterstrike defensively or use Q to farm minions when she's in range to trade.
- Missing your E stun or jumping in without it available will result in losing trades heavily due to her sustained damage output.
