MetaBot Tips
  • Irelia is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Irelia has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Irelia tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
  • Irelia has a high rate of healing compared to other champions. They may be good at exchanging hit trades in lane or before teamfights since they can recover through self-healing.
  • Irelia has a much higher early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Irelia has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Irelia has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.

Playing Irelia

  • Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
  • Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
  • Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.

Playing Against Irelia

  • Pay attention to Ionian Fervor stacks and try to engage Irelia when it is down.
  • Minion waves greatly enhance Irelia's mobility, beware fighting her inside one.
  • Beware of wasting your high impact spells on Defiant Dance.
