Introduction
This is my first guide on Mobafire, so the it doesnt looks good, but i will try to update it when I learn to use better Mobafire.
Irelia when released, people thinked she was UP, but I finded her fun so I played her alot, then Irelia became FoTM and got nerfed several times, mainly nerfing her ult healing.
I wrote this guide because I like to play Irelia alot and some Irelia guides are outdated now.
I will update this guide so it have images and add more info.
Main rune set
Other runes worth considering
![]() Use this one when laning VS heavy physical damage like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Laning VS Magic damage dealer ![]() ![]() ![]() |
_____ |
Greater Quintessence of desolation Greater Quintessence of desolation Increase your damage. Greater Quintessence of vigor Greater Quintessence of vigor Gives you more lane sustain. |
![]() Flash I use most of my games flash because it helps you escape ganks and close the gap on a squishy. ![]() Teleport I like this spell because it helps you to recall, buy items then be back at your lane without losing exp or minions or help you later in the game if you splitpush then teleport back to your team if a teamfight will occur Other options are: ![]() Ghost You can use this instead of flash if you feel more confortable with it. ![]() Ignite Increases your burst by alot and helps you with lane dominance or versus someone that can heal: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Exhaust Makes dueling almost everyone a breeze, can help you with hard lanes like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() Doran's Shield I start with this most of the times, makes you tankier and gives you a bit of sustain and armor. ![]() Cloth Armor Start with this and 5x ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Regrowth Pendant Start with this and 1x ![]() ![]() Boots of speed Start with this VS ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() Trinity Force This item makes Irelia damage skyrocket and makes her really powerful midgame with the ![]() You should start building it most of the time starting with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() sometimes you can get ![]() ![]() ![]() Ninja Tabi I usually get this item because usually im laning versus an physical damage dealer. I sell this item later in game if the enemy has a lot of Crowd Control, but if not I stay with this because I like negaiting 1/5 of the enemy carry autoattacks. ![]() Mercury's Treads I buy this if the enemy has alot of Crowd Control or sometimes when I lane versus enemy that deal only or mostly magical damage with spells like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Force of Nature With this, Trinity force, runes, and masteries you will be moving 450+ movespeed, which allow her to dive easily in teamfights the squishies on the back. |

Warmog's Armor
I like to get this item, it makes you very beefy with the health it gives and with

It can be replaced with


Atma's Impaler
This with



Infinity Edge
I like to build Infinity edge because it makes your autoattacks and spells


this with



Wriggle's Lantern
Build this if you started with


Visage
Get this if laning vs a magic damage dealer


philosopher's stone
Philosopher's Stone
Get this if you started with


Wit's End
I build this if the enemy is Magic damage heavy.

Quicksilver Sash
Enemy got




Guardian Angel
Give you a second life so you can keep killing them.

Frozen Heart
Enemy got a really fed AD carry or got alot of enemys that depend on attac speed




Sword of the Divine
Get this versus dodge *****


Youmuu's Ghostblade
Really good item on Irelia, armor pen increases your autoattacks,




Aegis of the Legion
Good early game option if no one in your team is buying it, makes you tankier and also helps your team. I usually sell this later because it isnt as good lategame.

Ionian Fervor
Reduces the duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, snares, and immobilizes for each nearby enemy champion.
1 Champion: 10%
2 Champions: 25%
3 Champions: 40%
Radius: 1200 (sight range)
Explanation:
-This is what makes Irelia such a strong champion, this with mercury threads will make Irelia really hard to keep down with crowdcontrol.
-This ability doesnt affects knock ups, blinds and suppress.
-If you cant see the enemy ( brushes, stealth ), the passive wont detect the champion.

Bladesurge
Irelia dashes forward to strike her target, dealing physical damage. This applies on-hit effects. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and refunds 35 mana.
Range: 650
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana
Cooldown: 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 seconds
Physical Damage: 20 / 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 (+1.0 per attack damage)
Explanation:
-Farming and last hitting at turret
-Use it as a gapcloser
-Apply on-hit-effects ( Wits ends, Madred Bloodrazor, Red buff, Hiten Style)
-At max level it has a 6 seconds cooldown and 3.6 cooldown with 40% cooldown reduction, making it easier for you to stick in the squishies
-With trinity force you can kill with one Q a caster minion, so you can use it as a gapcloser to enemies.

Hiten Style
Hiten Style Passive: (Passive): Irelia's autoattacks restore health to her.
Health Restored: 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26
Hiten Style Active: Irelia's autoattacks deal additional true damage for 6 seconds.
True Damage: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75
Cost: 40 mana
cooldown: 15 seconds
Explanation:
-You max this first because it gives you sustain and damage
-Your Main Harrassing Combo should be W>Autoattack>Bladesurge>Autoattack

Equilibrium Strike
Irelia pierces her target, dealing magic damage and slowing the target by 60% for few seconds. If the target has a higher health % than Irelia, she stuns the target for the duration instead.
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Range: 425
Cost: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 mana
Magic Damage: 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+0.5 per ability power)
Duration: 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 second(s)
Explanation:
-This skill can turn losing teamfights into your favor with a nice stun, if you can try to use this before Q.
-This skill is more about the slow/stun than the damage.

Transcendent Blades
Irelia summons 4 spirit blades which she can fire individually in a straight line to deal physical damage to enemies they pass through, and she heals for 25% of that damage vs champions and 10% vs minions.
Cost: 100 mana

damage)

-This skill make you deal good AoE damage in teamfights.
-Makes your burst really high at level 6
Irelia early game compared to other solo top champs is weak.
you should try to farm until you can buy
Phage and
Boots or wriggle´s lantern and
Boots if you started with
Cloth Armor.
If you went phage path you should buy vision wards to defend yourself from ganks.
When you get your ultimate
Transcendent Blades use it to either keep farming or harrass/kill the opponent.
You should be getting trinity force around the 20 minutes, after that you can keep either farming or force a teamfight at dragon if you are sure you can win it.

When teamfights begin to start, you should be played as an assasin mid game because you dont have your full build, so you arent still tanky. Your main job in the game is to kill the main damage dealer, which can be an AP carry like
Annie.
Brand, or an AD carry like
Vayne,
Corki.
You should never go first, but go second or third after the teamfight starts.
You should ask for red buff to your jungler,
Hiten Style + red buff will make anyone melt to the truedamage.
The longer the fight is, the better its for Irelia, Irelia will stun/slow enemies multiple times and deal true damage, winning the teamfight.
