You read my guide so I decided to see yours. VERY much like the Irealia I play (though I haven't bought her yet!), and the guide is well written. You've explained things, which is offc good.

P.S. Irelia is going to be my next champ to buy!!!Eleven!!1!

I know what you mean, I kind of play Nocturne as a glas canon..., but since he got fear it's successfull until lategame :D

But with that Irelia build you survive long enough to take some enemies down if you don't go in too early and get focused.

I'll give it a try (:, i also tried "full assassine"-irelia, like all the noobs playy XinZhao :D. Phantom Dancer, Berserker Boots, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver. I had 30/5/12 but it didn't make fun at all xD. i raped everyone, but everyone raped me in a second too, i hate that, i like it tanky :D

Changed, actually true



You will miss the burst damage I like that much :)




Ofc, but since you're playing Irelia you got so much regen early on - usually it's enough to stay in lane a long time.




true.



I get some damage as Sunder or Cripple from offense, defense for Hardiness and Resistance and finally the knowledge tree for Awareness which is really good if you're sololaning and for sure Utility Mastery .

One thing I'd like to say, if you're going to take CDR Glyphs over MR, why would you skip the Sorcery mastery in the Offense tree?

Not too big of a fan of your current mastery setup, seems like you're not going deep enough in any tree to make it worthwhile.. I don't think the utility is really benefiting you that much.. and also the 2 points in Offense Mastery isn't that great for you, Bladesurge is already more than enough to last-hit any minions.

agreed.
Nice build btw, and after a few changes as suggested in the comments, This is a very nice build. I'm not a big fan of black cleaver, as I do think it is not the best item on Irelia. Everyone's got there different playstyles I guess :P

Some things i have to say. YYou don't need CDR blues. Take MR, per lvl or flat, how you like it. Your cooldowns are low enough and if you master your Q, you have 0 in words zero cooldown on your Q. There is really no need for CDR.

I think Damage after Trinity Force is high enough. You destroy squishies really fast, and with your activated W you do kill tankier ones also.
After Trinity and Mercs i go for Randuins or Force of Nature, depends on enemies. I like FoN more then Banshees, because with Suhrelias, Randuins and TF you have high HP so the HPReg is awesome and i really like the MS. But i think that depends on own preference (:
Finally i buy Atmas, because it boosts your Q and R and also your armor and auto attacks (Crit).

Build order
Regrwoth Pendant + HP Pot
First Back = Philo + Boots + Sheen/HoG (depends on money)
Second Back Sheen/Hog + Mercs
Phage
TF
FoN/Randuins/negatron cloak+chainwest (heavy AP-/heavy AD-/neutral enemyTeam)
shurelias
Atmas/Wits End (mostly Atmas, because you already have oveer 170MR, and with more armor you can take down turrets without creeps, but if enemys are really hard hard hard AP, i take wits End)

BTW most of the time the game ends before shurelias, or even earlier :D

But i think all in all your guide is still pretty good, it really depends on your own playstyle. I just really don't like your blue runes, MR is way better (:

ah and i forgot. on sololane i really like teleport. you can port back on lane when you were shopping and when your team wards well, you can gank great (: i rarly play irelia if i can't get sololane, she just needs the early farm for Trinity Force

Oh right, my bad with the dodge runes^^

ty Scipio, i'll check it out =)

In your guide you list Greater Seal of Evasion as semi-optimal due to the lack of Nimbleness (which is right), but in your cheatsheet you have Greater Seal of Evasion in your build. You might want to fix that; make it armor seals or something.

nice build, but you should maybe explain your skillorder.
eg. i dont understand why you only take 1 point in equilibrium strike, its the skill i usually max first.
but +1, just because i want people reading your guide...
please have a look at my guide too:http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/irelia-solotop-to-victory-97014 im sad because noone reads it ):

I'll change it, that it'd be nice to get at least one of them before getting Black Cleaver =)

Thank you!
