Irealia Build(not a typo)

[quote=Pwnzor1130]I typically start regrowth/pot rushing philo into HoG into trinity force. After that I will usually get FoN/randuin's, the one i didn't get earlier, atma's and wit's end. I've had a bit of success with it. Merc treads will be your boots ofc.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=L1LShadow] Where's that Banshee's Veil?[/quote] Where's the need for it?... Most other MR items are better.[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=Searz] Seems good. I would prolly start with different items tho. (since Irelia is solo and most solos are AP) [/quote] In the last 50 Rain Man games, if it's not Jarvan, Udyr, Yorick, or GP solo top, then it's a WW, who does mostly AD damage when you first start the game. Cloth Armor + 5hp is the superior start, even against a hard AP carry. [quote=Pwnzor1130] I typically start regrowth/pot rushing philo into HoG into trinity force.

[/quote] If you start regrowth, solo tops like Udyr, Yorick, and Akali will just kill you. If you start cloth armor+5 health pots, you can be more aggressive because you will be able to just regen all that hp with the pots.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Good point.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Except that WW's main source of harass early game is Hungering Strike which deals magic damage. Or so I believe, though you'll of course be auto attacked too....[/quote]

[quote=Pwnzor1130]Honestly, with Irelia's W, a regrowth pendant, and a health pot I usually don't need the extra 4 health pots. I would take them if I needed to though. In fact, before dual philo cloth 5 pots was the usual start.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Regrowth isn't a bad start for top - it does give decent sustain, and once you push out the lane it means you can grab a very early philo stone. Not to say this is best on irelia, but its not a bad start at all, situational at least.[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice][quote=Xenasis] Pretty sure LLL's Zealot builds Wriggle's on her. However, Sheen into Triforce should ALWAYS be rushed after mercs. That transforms her damage from Shen's level, to something more like Brand. [/quote] It really depends for me... If I am fed and raping my lane, I will just rush to triforce. However if it looks like I'm just gonna be farming top for the next 20 minutes, I take Wit's End, occasionally getting sheen before that. Also, if I am losing my lane or facing a lot of AD, I take a hog and build it into randuin late game. Philo just feels "meh" to me on Irelia... She has good sustain already and the nerf to Philo's stats really hurt that item. I would love to get a Spirit Visage on irelia, but I feel it's too cheap to fit in my build because I build quite a few cheap items already. Might possibly get it instead of wriggle's in some cases, but meh. That would make it only useful for my ult. Been working out really well for me.. I think Irealia is actually my new main for ranked now, after the annie nerfs went down. People think that Riot nerfs wrecked her, but she is still really strong in all phases of the game. Might make a guide.[/quote]
