Who Wins
- You lose short trades pre-6 against stacked passive Irelia, but win extended fights with Q debuff and W steroid active.
- Post-6, you can win all-ins by using R to steal her stats when she engages, turning her tankiness and damage against her while your sustain keeps you healthy.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to let Irelia engage, then immediately Q her to reduce her damage while boosting yours, activate W for the attack speed and healing, and run her down.
- Use E to block her escape routes or interrupt her Q dashes when she tries to disengage through minions.
Wave Control
- You prefer longer lanes and can afford to let Irelia push since you excel at running enemies down with W movement speed.
- Maintain wave in river or closer to your tower where you have more room to chase, and use your sustain advantage to stay healthy for extended trades.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let Irelia get free passive stacks on minions without punishing her positioning - walk up and force trades when she's farming.
- Never waste your E defensively when she's not all-in committed, as you need it to block her escape paths when you're winning the extended fight.
