Who Wins
- You win level 2 trades with Alistar's W-Q setup, as Irelia can't gap close effectively through the displacement.
- At level 6, you lose if Irelia lands R and gets resets, but win if you can kite with W root and maintain distance.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q bounces on minions to poke Irelia while staying behind Alistar, then follow up with W when she's slowed.
- Your fourth shot with Alistar's engage creates massive burst windows, but avoid extended trades where Irelia can stack Conqueror.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain a slow push to keep minions between you and Irelia's Q resets, then crash for recalls when possible.
- Avoid hard shoving without vision, as Maokai's W range can catch you even behind minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W aggressively without Alistar nearby, as both enemies have gap closers that punish immobility.
- Don't greed for CS when Irelia has Q resets available, as her all-in potential is much higher than your escape options.
