Who Wins
- You win at all levels unless Irelia can weave autos while Q’ing the first few low minions to reach full passive stacks.
- If you deny her from maximizing these auto–Q resets, you win every extended trade and all-in.
How to Trade
- Only trade when Irelia is stackless and cannot Q-chain on minions.
- Stand on top of low HP minions to threaten her from Q'ing, if she commits anyway, take the extended trade with auto–auto–Q1–Q2 and finish with an E→W once your grit is built.
Wave Control
- Keep a freeze near your tower to force Irelia to overextend and limit her Q reset options.
- After chunking her, convert the freeze into a slow push toward her tower to set up another extended trade or a dive.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t fight when multiple minions are low or when she can weave autos between Q resets.
- Never commit without W or E (unless they’re a few seconds from up); your winning all-in depends on having both for the guaranteed E→W.
