Irelia the Blade Dancer
The Noxian occupation of Ionia produced many heroes, none more unlikely than young Irelia of Navori. Trained in the ancient dances of her province, she adapted her art for war, using the graceful and carefully practised movements to levitate a host of deadly blades. After proving herself as a fighter, she was thrust into the role of resistance leader and figurehead, and to this day remains dedicated to the preservation of her homeland.

MetaBot Tips

- Irelia has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Irelia has a much 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 a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Irelia has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
