Who Wins
- You lose early levels 1-3 due to Irelia's superior damage and mobility, but you become significantly stronger at 6 when R provides guaranteed lockdown that she cannot dodge.
- Your scaling tankiness and utility eventually outvalue her damage in teamfights and skirmishes.
How to Trade
- Focus on short trades using W for damage reduction, then E to slow her escape and walk away before she can stack passive or land full combo.
- Save Q for escaping her all-in attempts rather than engaging, since her mobility advantage makes extended fights favor her early.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed early and focus on farming safely under tower, using W to clear waves efficiently once you have some levels.
- Look to freeze when possible after first back, as Irelia needs minions for Q resets to threaten you.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match her early aggression or fight in large minion waves where she gets multiple Q resets.
- Avoid using Q aggressively for trades since you need it to escape her all-in potential, especially when she has passive stacks and minions to work with.
