Will you update the build again? Cant pair immortal shieldbow and steraks anymore

Yeah sorry I'd been meaning to fix that, thanks for the reminder. Build is updated.

Buena guía

will you update this build because of the changes they made to irelia?

(625) |

I'm not sure if any changes to the build are required but I'll keep an eye open for any meta developments towards her build.

what do you think about taking resolve second?

(625) |

It's viable if you prefer a better early-game over scaling.

doesn't actually keep his guides up to date

i have a question i am thinking of picking up irelia but im not really that good of a player.is irellia one of those champs that are prettty hard to master but not that hard to pick up or is her hard to pick up and i should become better at tha game before starting playing her?

(625) |

She is definitely hard to master, but you shouldn't let that discourage you. Practicing high skillcap champions can improve some of the skills necessary to play them much faster than if you practice other champions first. For example, I've always stayed away from skillshot-reliant champions because I have bad aim, and because I don't practice skillshot champions, my aim is bad! It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you want to pick up Irelia but you're not good enough to do well with her yet, the solution to that is to start practicing her.

ok thank you very much for telling me

Since they removed Chrysalis what should i use instead?

Amazing Irelia guide. It improved my gameplay in my very first match after trying out this build and playstyle. Great fun too!

daggers

Wouldn't Lich Bane also be optional if the enemy team builds armor? It gives AP not AD but your Ult and E both have very high AP ratios, and Lich Bane as an AA buffing passive.

No, doesn't do much damage if you don't have AP. You'd be better off just investing in some armor pen if you're really that worried about the enemy's armor.

(19) |

Except that @ Warefareoid said, which is true, in case you actually build lich bane to counter them building armor, the damage from lich bane will be extremely low because you dont have enought ap, and also the spell blade passive doesnt not work, if you have build any other spell blade item.

Not rly since Irelia really needs the atk speed from tri or burst from AD items. Passive doesn't scale on AP, which is your biggest damage source. You can whiff your E since it's a weird skilshot + your ult is just better used as marking tool and stopping movement than investing a item into upping its damage. If they build armor, then you're better off building on-hit like BOTRK and wits end to mitigate how much they reduce.

Please update this guide and not the items only.

Is "unflinching" correct bc thats not very tanky.

I usually make up tankiness with damage and sustain. While your option is good I wondered what do you think of

Fleet footwork, triumph, alacrity, coup, with some combination of 2 of taste of blood, sudden impact, eyeball, or ravenous hunter. I am just curious if thats crazy or not lol

(625) |

Unflinching is fine but I just swapped it out for which seems to be performing better. You can also use instead of it, both are fine.

I would say using Domination with Ravenous Huntenr and either Taste of Blood or Sudden Impact is bound to be good too, you can use that in easier matchups where you don't need . Fleet is unnecessary.
