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 lose the 1v1 as Irelia's R gives her gap close, damage reduction, and setup for her full combo that you cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is Q-W poke when Irelia goes for CS, then immediately back off to avoid retaliation.
- Never extend trades or let her stack passive - use your range advantage for quick burst trades only.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish priority and prevent Irelia from freely farming, but transition to freezing near your tower once she hits level 3-4.
- This forces her to overextend for CS while keeping you safe from her all-in potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W defensively without your ball being properly positioned, as this wastes your only self-peel tool.
- Avoid face-checking brushes or walking up without vision, as Irelia can easily set up ganks with E from fog of war.
