Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try it out. However, I find philosopher's stone a little useless because I don't really last hit with blade-surge. It is a very great item though.

I would consider changing up your core start. In my opinion wriggles is good only against a lane you are loosing and is heavy physical. You set the build back by 1600 gold and have to make up for it by farming which isn't always an option.

Going straight into wits end/phage would make for an eaiser early game, also you can just buy a cloth armor and build into ninja tabbi against a heavy physical team since Irelia already has CC reduction from her passive and masteries, and can continue you're faceroll easy. Also, leveling E or Q at 4 is better than at 3. Hiten style is a huge source of damage and sustain.

Also rethink trinity force. You are paying a lot for not. Frozen mallet works really well on Irelia if you haven't tried it yet. Really strong CC. Its basically the slow from triforce and a mini warmogs put into one item. Very efficent and fits with the rest of your build. The money saved from not building triforce will also let you buy a chainvest/negatron and some wards.

Try it out, but other than that you're choice of defensive items is solid.

Also forgot, armor seals are a must for toplane. Irelia's early game is already weak and any heavy physical lane tryn or gangplank can destroy you even harder without the early game armor.

Getting an early philosophers stone will solve your bladesurge mana problems as well. Allowing for different item starts.

Will do

good guide,but please go in depth about fighting! also, since you are solo top, u may want to buy some health potions. maybe 1 or 2, not a whole lot because of your health regen skill :)
