Irelia -Introduction
Each strike will generate 26 health by it's passive and by it's active you will get 75 damage as true damage EACH STRIKE. No matter how much ad you got you will only gain 26 health and 75 truedamage per hit. If you got 2.5 speed you will hit 187.5 TRUEDAMAGE each second.
So basiclly you won't be a nuker instead a dps with true damage. If you get feed, the tanks will buy armor when you'r actually ignore it. This can lead to extream team pwng.
-DPS'rs get their kills (almost everytime)
-Irelia get's a extream true dmg output
-Still as awesome as any Assasin
-Irelia got stun/slow!!!
-Very hard 2 counter
-Low CC because of passive
-Amazing laning
-Can carry a team of 2 players against 5 if played as she should!!
-Economic build wich should get you early game feed.
Cons
-Squishy (end game it will change due 2 "GA")
-Even after passive she's still vulnerable 2 CC
-She has her dmg curve flattend at endgame (if a 60-80min game you will find yourself as any champion even after extream feed)
-Even after "GA" you will die if you don't have skilled members in your team.
-Not same fun-burst-dmg as the other "common" Irelia players
2011-04-22Changed the Item chapter so you now can choose from Wits end/Starks Favor or Madred's Bloodrazor based on the enemy team and game length

Here I put ONE point in HitenStyle. Only reason is that you get some decent lifesteal out of it. And I dont like maxing

Now you may ask why I don't max out Hiten as fast as I can, here's why=
At level 7 you will have a HORRIBLE AttackSpeed and the other team wont have a big chunk of armor so so you wont gain anything from it (at least not an amount worth mentioning)
Instead I max out


When you reach level six ALWAYS put 1 point in

Well, now you should put one point in


One more point in



Now you will shutdown the enemy team tank in the blik of an eye!


Then go after some lifesteal ->

Now buy some new boots ->

Now you can jump in by Q then E and fast run back! Also you will be able to escape most ganks
Now complete wriggles ->

Now complete ->

Now get

The next item is something I rarely see ppl use, an item I think is underrated =

Now you should Q->E->W->StandarAttack->StandarAttack->StandarAttack->StandarAttack->KILL
(around 2.5sec for complete kill)
Now we got a similar item (Should never buy if the enemy team dont have at least 3 champs using mana) ->

This item will give you 42extra dmg (true/ad/ap I dont know) and remove 42 mana at the same time. Since you now got a nice attack speed you will remove ALOT of mana and a extra boost of unknown dmg type will make you a annoying as hell. The MGRes and additional attackspeed is just great for you'r survivability and dmg output.
Or
You could get Starks Favor instead for more lifesteal, better armor pen (armor reduction) but less AS which is what this build is about.
Another choice is to get Madreds Bloodrazor this item is more expensive but will get you LOTS of kills. A boost in magic dmg and attackspeed. Something my Irelia loves.
Of these 3 items I would normaly go for WitsEnd but if there is many energy or heath users I would go for Starks favor. But if the game seems like a long game, I would choose Madreds Bloodrazor because it is the best item of those 3 and most suited for Irelia.



Now you should get a ->

Having a extra life-It sais it all!
Otherwise you could boost you'r dmg with ->


This is my type of Irelia -nothing else
As Irelia you have 2 think of activating Hiten Style at all time before teamfights. You should get rid of the other team's carry and support (at least!) Shutdown any Thornmail enemy but leting you'r team foc him/her away.
Irelia has a great lifesteal especially since they "nerf'd" wriggles. And since you'r ulti has low CD and lot of lifesteal you SHOULD use it to heal of people following you when you have low life, 2 kill of a big army of minons, 2 heal you before entering teamfight and 2 get rid of the fleing enemy. The ulti has an endless stream of possiblilitys so just go for it!
In short, Irelia need a good team to be excellent but can be great on her own.
If you got 1 tank and 1 support and a good Irelia you can take down the whole enemy team.
