Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior burst and mobility, but Irelia can turn fights with her passive stacked.
- Post-6, you have kill pressure with R if you can land it near walls, but Irelia's sustained damage and healing make extended fights dangerous.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades using E-Q combos when Irelia has low passive stacks, then immediately disengage with W.
- Avoid extended trades where her passive can ramp up and her Q resets become available on low minions.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to get priority and roam, as you can't match Irelia's sustained waveclear once she gets items.
- Focus on creating map pressure rather than trying to outscale her in lane.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't fight Irelia when she has 4-5 passive stacks or when there are low-health minions she can Q to.
- Getting caught in her E stun without your mobility spells available is usually death post-6.
