I don't exactly agree with this build because the only thing worth building AP on is her E, in that has a 0.5 AP ratio. Thought it does a good amount of damage, the extra AP won't do that much. If you build her AD, you'll make so much more use of her Q (1.0 AD ratio) and her ult (0.6 AD ratio compared to 0.5 AP ratio). Though triforce>tanky dps is better in my opinion, building her AD is better than building her AP. Normally, if I want to do more damage (and if I'm fed to an extent), I get a hextech gunblade because of her hybrid ratios. If you build her full AP, or AD, though, she'll be way to squishy to do anything, and there wont be too much compensation, because most of her damage is done from triforce procs.

TL;DR: trifoce>tanky (with a philo stone>shurelyas for farming) is better, but if you must, building her AD is better at least because her Q has a 1.0 AD ratio and her ult has a 0.6 AD ratio, compared to her 0.5 AP ratio on her E and 0.5 AP ratio on her ult..

yea sorry I voted now

this is pretty nice, except now that they nerfed her scalings and everything, it just doesnt work anymore. Maybe for the lulz.
+1 anyways for creativity

check out my irelia build?

Ap irelia juste does not work. lot of ad carries do better

It just don't work at all.

With this build, you take the role of AP carry... but a lot of real AP carries do better : malzhar, swain, brand, annie etc.. DO better.

not vaible anymore :(

nice build

nice build

writer's opponent should be all noobs!

NICE BUILD MUAHAH

Good build for those who haven't got AD runes

Right. Irelia took a large blow in a recent patch, because the AP ratio on Equilibrium Strike has been cut in half. Therefore, it is important to get the Lich Bane faster than this build suggests, to keep her damage up. If you stick to this build sequence, you will only do damage in (very) late game, after getting Lich Bane. Or you won't even be able to make it to late game at all because your team lacked damage output in mid-game. I suggest getting a Lich Bane after Mejai's and a Blasting Wand, finishing Rylai's after Lich bane.
