Irelia Build Guide by RaduKun

Hey guys, I am RaduKun a Irelia main and I'm playing League from the start of this season. I am silver 3 so I am not very good but my scores with Irelia are decent.

From the last guide I added a lot of new builds and I added some builds for mid lane as well. All these builds are inspired from the Korean Irelia player Kotae

You can find my Account on here RaduKun to see my win rates and matches for a little bit of trust.

Code:

PROS + Very strong early game + Grate mobility + Easy to farm + Strong 1v1 potential + Very good against tanks + High skill roof

CONS - Useless without passive - You need grate wave management - High skill floor - Very hard to carry games - Mana hungry early game - If you are not in minion waves is very hard to get stacks with little mana - Fall of late game

PRECISION

For the key stone we take Conqueror since it grants 2-5 adaptive damage every hit with an autoattack or damaging ability up to a max stack of 10. Both autos and abilities grant 2 stacks so it stacks quite quickly on a champion like Irelia. At max stacks it also gives you 15% post-migitation healing of your damage, so it works well with Irelia's playstyle and kit.

You take Triumph on Irelia because the rest of the options don't help you that much and Triumph help you survive in longer teamfights.

You take Legend: Alacrity first because your build focuses a lot on attack speed but if you are playing mid you can also take Legend: Bloodline.

If you take Legend: Alacrity you dont need attack speed so take adaptive force but if you take Legend: Bloodline take the attack speed to compensate for the lack of attack speed from the runes.

Blade of the Ruined King As a top laner you need Blade of the Ruined King as the majority of your matchups are tanks, and even if you are not playing against any tanks you can take Blade of the Ruined King for its lifesteal. If you are playing mid you can skip Blade of the Ruined King and go for the next core item like Wit's End or Black Cleaver because you are against low health enemies, but if you go against a tank mid you can always take Blade of the Ruined King.

WIT'S END Wit's End is good in any of Irelia's builds because it makes your passive stronger and you will deal more AP and it gives you Attack speed, attack speed being the most important stat in Irelia's builds. It also gives MR and that is always nice. If your enemy is AD take Wit's End 3rd item as you wont make any use of the MR from Wit's End.

BLACK CLEAVER Black Cleaver is a very important item in Irelia's build because it gives you HP, AD, Armor shred and CDR. This item is can be built 2nd or 3rd depending on your matchup.

RAVENOUS HYDRA I use Ravenous Hydra only mid because you need grate wave clear and you don't care so much about wave management. Ravenous Hydra also gives lifesteal and is a good item overall. I recommend building it as a 3rd item. But dont forget use it ony mid
