Balanced Build
Runes




Greater Mark of Desolation helps









Greater Quintessence of Endurance boost your health MASSIVELY and when going as an offtank with



Tanky Build
Runes







Greater Seal of Endurance I go with these runes because as a tank you will be looking to stack Armor and Magic resist through items because you dont have an in-build Armor or Magic resist buff like







Greater Quintessence of Endurance I get these here as well because they boost your HP much more than it looks like. This runepage plus





DPS Build
Runes




Greater Mark of Desolation like in the Balanced Build, you get these because the damage from




Greater Quintessence of Desolation Same as the Greater Mark of Desolation, you get these for an enormous 31 (counting


Jungler
Runes




Greater Mark of Desolation I get these to clear the camps faster. Remember that jungle creeps have 10 Armor and these runes will reduce it to 0, making you clear the jungle camps much faster.

- You must have vision of the enemy champion to get the CC Reduction
- Quite a big range (1200)
- Helpfull when initiating teamfights, reduces any form of CC thrown at you almost to zero combined with
Mercury's Treads

Irelia's main farming skill, other than autoattacking
Irelia's initiating and chasing tool
- Note that this skill applies on-hit effects such as
Sheen,
Phage or
Frozen Mallet as well as
Wit's End and Armor Penetration
- If your target is far away, you can use this skill on a nearby low-hp minion, killing it and then again on your target.
- Using the same technique as mentioned above, you can use
Bladesurge when being chased to quickly get away.

Passive: ![]() Active: ![]() |
- Synergizes well with Attack Speed
- True damage is not reduced by armor or magic resist, so you deal the exact damage that is shown
Irelia's sustain in lane and jungle

Equilibrium Strike stun and slow scale with levels.
Equilibrium Strike is what makes
Irelia a great duelist
- Lower cooldown at higher ranks helps
Irelia escape tight situations

- Heals 25% of damage dealt against champions and 10% of damage dealt to minions
- Use this skill to farm big minion waves. Even after the latest nerf, cooldown won't be a problem
- Great skill for finishing off opponents at a long range
- Can be used to heal after a long fight



Balanced
On the balanced build you look to max out Hiten Stlye first because other than some great damage it gives you enough sustain through its active.


Then, look to max out



Tanky
When going tanky, max out

DPS
As a Attack Damage DPSer, Irelia must max out her damage tools,

Core Items
Trinity Force - Worth it or not
Here is a brief discussion on whether


Bladesurge procs the on-hit effects from
Phage and
Sheen
Hiten Style works well with the increased Attack Speed.
- Each
Transcendent Blades fired procs
Sheen, giving you bonus attack damage on 4 instances when timed right
- The bonus movement speed helps with chasing and initiating
- The bonus mana provided from
Sheen takes care of your early game mana issues.
Many people might think that rushing
