Hello Mobafire!
I am Mike aka Wickd. I've been playing this game since beta.
|
Recently I started making guides again and I want to focus on consistently making new guides.
I hope this guide will help you have as much fun with Irelia as I have. I mained her ever since she was released and have played her a ton on the new patch as well. |

As for Match ups, this guide is going to be continuously updated and the match ups are going to get added through Youtube videos/Twitch vods.

Triumph: This rune is amazing and Irelia often ends up in fights that are very close and Triumph might save you from dying to creeps after killing your opponent or be of help in 1 versus 2 fights. |
|
Legend: Bloodline: Life Steal is an essential stat on Irelia and this rune provides just that. It works amazing with Irelia’s Q, and it’s perfect for skirmishes and duels. The other runes simply aren’t at the same level for her. |
|
Last Stand: It’s the best team fighting rune for Irelia right now. It’s normal for you to go low on health in laning phase, and team fights due to being a melee bruiser which makes Last Stand the perfect choice. |

Starting Items
Corrupting Potion: Best item to start with as Irelia due to her being so mana hungry. She needs a lot of mana to utilize all her strengths and Doran's Shield and Doran's Blade simply doesn't provide that.

Boots
Ninja Tabi: Opposite of Merc's. Buy this pair of boots against Auto Attacking teams with little Crowd Control.

Early Game
At level 1 you skill up Q as we talked about earlier and the best way to utilize your Q in the level 1 fight is to wait for the 3 melee creeps to be low on health and instantly killing all of them. That will give you 3 stacks of Ionian Fervor and you want to keep these 3 stacks up by hitting the enemy once in a while untill a ranged minion is low and you can Q that to get a 4th stack. If you end up in a big fight with the enemy you can obviously Q him to get the 4th stack and try to all in him, but that will give you a much weaker level 2 as you won't have the stacks anymore. Level 2 you will take Flawless Duet and try to see if you can figure out the enemy champions movement pattern and hit him with Flawless Duet while you have atleast 2 Stacks of your passive. That way you can get to 4 stacks and start all inning him. If you can't find the situation simply farm and wait for later opportunities. Level 3 you take Defiant Dance which in my opinion is one of your strongest abilities. At this point it's all about playing with the minion waves and there is not one way to play the lane anymore. If he got more creeps play passive, and if you have more creeps play aggressive. Keep this up till you have Ultimate. Level 6 you finally have your ultimate and want to start killing the opponent or roaming. You have two tactics to choose from. Let him push towards you and try to get your jungler to gank him and get a kill or push him in all the time and try to roam towards mid or base and go bottom to try and pick up some kills on the map. |
Out of Lane
Irelia is one of the best catching champions in the game so your job is to catch people off guard. The best way to do that as a top laner is the push in the side lane opposite side of where your team wants to play. Your team always wants to play around an objective aka Dragon, Tower or Baron. You play the opposite side, push in the wave and try to roam towards your team to make a catch or teamfight happen. Overall the playstyle remains the same throughout the game. |
Hope you enjoyed my Irelia guide and I also hope you have a lot of fun playing her as she's one of my favorite champions <3 |
