Irelia Build Guide by A Chubby Baby
Build Guide
Discussion (449)|
I expected to read more about  Bladesurge...Such an amazing skill, combined with  Trinity Force,  Wit's End and  Hiten Style's active, it literally bursts down any carry's health.That being said, I don't see why Trinity Force is in the "Other viable items" section...It's a must have on Irelia in my opinion.And since  Irelia is all about attack speed, I'd also add  Ionic Spark to viable items...Just imagine, hit minions 3 times, activate Hiten Style and Bladesurge to an enemy...He does not want to meet you again (Yes, Ionic Spark triggers on Bladesurge as well!)I am not a big fan of  Frozen Mallet and  Atma's Impaler on Irelia either...Too much of her power gets lost with those items...And maxing Bladesurge over  Equilibrium Strike is another mistake in my opinion. Sure, you want more damage output, but a longer stun/slow duration can get you more damage on the enemy than a skill that is on cooldown after use and doesn't benefit you any further then.

Reading over this guide, its well made and coded. I see a few things, but it looks good overall. I do have some critcism for the build itself though. |

1. Why max Bladesurge over Equilibrium Strike? Equilbirim can save you many times, from ganks and from other things. Sure Bladesurge gives you more attack and burst, but having a longer stun is just so good. 2. I dont think i kept up with this, but attack speed irelia? I might be a bit old school, i use a Tanky DPS irelia, with Trinity force and without wits end and ionic spark. It works very well still. So maybe a chapter on Trinity force build vs yours? Just a thought 3. Frozen mallet and Atma's Imapler.... I dont really think these two items are viable on Irelia without her being a bit tanky. Esspically atmas impaler. You need health to make that item really work. Maybe going Trinity Force instead of these two items would be better? Thank you for your comments and recommendations. Over the next few days, I shall try out your builds. I've tried out the Trinity Force style, and I agree that it could be a better build, but personally I prefer the Fratmas combo. I may even add my opinions on Trinity Force build style, as I used to play like that before I turned to Fratmas. Once again, Thanks. - A Chubby Baby Thank you jhoijhoi, Keondre, LaCorpse, The_Nameless_Bard, Arcana3, Hogopogo, eddie199, Xiaowiriamu, and JEFFY40HANDS for the spectacular sigs!

Sure, you want more damage output, but a longer stun/slow duration can get you more damage on the enemy than a skill that is on cooldown after use and doesn't benefit you any further then.I'd actually never thought about maxing Equilibrium Strike after Hiten Style. That being said, it is something I should try out. I do plan to add another section about those who prefer rushing a Trinity Force instead as I used to play like that. After trying out maxing Equilibrium Strike at lvl 13, I still find Bladesurge to be better. More dashes and triple attacks will offter even more dmg compared to the 2 second stun.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with maxing Bladesurge over Equilibrium. It all depends on how the game is going to turn out. By maxing Equilibrium early, you won't even be able to get close to an enemy after the first Q you use in a skirmish. Transcendent's mobility is way too good on a lower cooldown. |

I do agree with RosePhoenix on all his opinions. Even though many may disagree, it's really nice that you added a section talking about the two different building paths. Overall, a very well-thought, well coded, and simply a great guide. Guides are for people to be able to see how you play someone, it doesn't determine what build is better or what (though some builds just suck :P). That being said, I don't see why this guide should receive a downvote simply because of the fact that someone disagrees with a build without trinity force on irelia. |
