Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, but must respect Irelia's level 2 all-in potential with Q-E combo.
- Post-6 you still have the advantage if you land Q, but her R gives her significant kill pressure if she gets on top of you.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E-auto-passive proc from max range, then immediately back off to avoid retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades as her sustained damage and healing will always win.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to avoid overextending into her all-in range.
- Hard shoving is risky without vision as it leaves you vulnerable to her gap-closing potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use Q aggressively for poke as it's your only reliable self-peel tool against her engage.
- Missing Q when she has R available often results in death due to her mobility and damage output.
