Who Wins

  • You dominate levels 1-3 with Q poke and range advantage, and maintain control at level 6 through kiting potential.
  • Your W can negate Irelia's engage attempts while your R provides teamfight scaling she cannot match.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke while maintaining distance, and save W for when Irelia commits to engage with Q dashes.
  • Focus on short trades where you can Q and retreat before she can stack her passive on you.

Wave Control

  • Maintain slow pushes to keep minions available for your Q waveclear while denying Irelia reset opportunities.
  • Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision, as Irelia excels at all-ins when waves are in neutral positions.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W defensively against minor poke as you need it to counter Irelia's all-in attempts.
  • Avoid fighting in extended trades where Irelia can stack her passive and outdamage you with sustained combat.
