Introduction


Hello fellow Summoners, my name is Fabian aka Erotix8210 in the League, welcome to my Irelia Guide. Irelia is my most played and favorite Champion in the League! Ive played arround 200-250 (may 300) Games with Irelia, ranked, blindpick, draftpick or custom games. Shes a very snowballing champion, witch is able on the right useage grabbing a Quadrakill with below 40% health as seen on YouTube and personal experience ingame. I try to write this guide as Detailed as im able to, since my Janna Guide was completly disliked.

Summoner Spells


I choose Flash and Ignite on Irelia. Its very useful to engage hard.

For example: Ignite
You start off Bladesurge the enemie, stun him and Hiten Style him while he/she is stunned. Let it be a Volibear with that annoying Passive. Just use Ignite to disable his Passive and grab the kill.

For example: Flash
You getting ganked by Nasus your enemie on lane is Wukong you get hardcore slown by Nasus and hardcore damaged by Wukong, then Flash is a good choise to escape the situation.

Rune Repository


Runes

Sorcery
Summon Aery
Lethal Tempo
Fleet Footwork
Phase Rush

Greater Mark of Armor Penetration 2x
Description:
I choose those Runes to take some advantage on our Bladesurge and Transcendent Blades and our Basic Attacks on Laningphase. And Deal 1-2 more Damage per Normalhit. Based on Irelia will focus Mages like: Annie, Lux, Ahri, Brand... witch are pretty Armorhungry.
Greater Mark of Attack Damage 7x
Description:
I choose those Runes to take some advantage on our Bladesurge and Transcendent Blades and Basic Attacks on Laningphase. And Deal 8-11 more Damage per Normalhit. Based on Irelia will focus Mages like: Annie, Lux, Ahri, Brand... witch are pretty Armorhungry.
Greater Seal of Armor 9x
Description:
Easy thing, this are the most used Runes generel on Toplane, sometimes people go for health per level, but I am related to Armor to be more Tanky if i play against Fiora, Volibear, Pantheon, Jax, Darius, Lee Sin, Wukong dealing Physical Damage to me. Since Irelia deals high damages without even damage items its a good idea to go tanky.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist 9x
Description:
Easy thing, Magic Resist is always usefull since we teamfights offers alot of AP damage since the main dmg besides the AD Carry is comming from the Midlaner like: Annie, Lux, Ahri, Brand..., to prevent high damages from the pokes before the teamfights starts.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage 3x
Description:
I choose those Runes to take some advantage on our Bladesurge and Transcendent Blades and Basic Attacks on Laningphase. And Deal 8-11 more Damage per Normalhit. Based on Irelia will focus Mages like: Annie, Lux, Ahri, Brand... witch are pretty Armorhungry.

List of Features we grant from the Runes:

I focus on maxing out Hiten Style first and try to get Wit's End as fast as possible to have a nice Laningphase. Bladesurge is my second maxout goal to deal Physical Damage to enemies and use the effect of Trinity Force as often as Im able to. Transcendent Blades, the Ultimate is my next, since you can deal easily 4x 160 (+0.6 per bonus attack damage) with it, together with our other abilities its a awesome damage output. Equilibrium Strike is my last abiliy im maxing out. Since im relateed on use it to stun/slow enemies from level 4 i dont care about the damage of it in the gameprogress.

Spells



Reduces the duration of stuns, slows, taunts, fears, snares, immobilizes, blinds and silences for each nearby enemy champion.
1 Champion: 10%
2 Champions: 25%
3 Champions: 40%
Range: 1200

Irelia dashes forward to strike her target for20 / 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 (+1 per Attack Damage) physical damage. This applies on-hit effects. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's cooldown refreshes and refunds 35 Mana.
Cooldowns: 14/12/10/8/6 seconds
Manacost: 60/65/70/75/80
Range: 650

Irelia is skilled in the art of Hiten, passively giving her physical attacks 5 / 7 / 9 / 11 / 13 health restoration. Activating Hiten Style doubles the health restoration to 10 / 14 / 18 / 22 / 26 and adds15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 75 true damage to her physical attacks for 6 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 seconds
Manacost: 40

Irelia's attack balances the scales, dealing 80 / 130 / 180 / 230 / 280 (+50% of ability power) damage and slowing the target by 60% for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 second(s). However, if the target has a higher Health % than Irelia, then the blow stuns the target for 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 second(s) instead.
Cooldown: 8 seconds
Manacost: 50/55/60/65/70
Range: 425

Irelia summons 4 spirit blades which she can fling at her enemies. These blades deal 80 / 120 / 160 (+50% of ability power) (+0.6 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to enemies that they pass through, and she heals for 25% of that damage vs champions and 10% vs minions.

Farming



Irelia has a expensive Itembuild, but its totaly worth it. You have to farm as much as you can. (Best every Minion) sadly thats not possible e.G while busy with fight, getting ganked etc...

Try to land as much lasthits as you can. Dont push, let lasthits do the job so your lane is pushed all the time to prevent ganks and the enemie will stay far away from his tower to punish him beeing out of position.

Here is a Table you can check your POSSIBLE farm out:
