Irelia Guide
Irelia is a champion, nearly always played in the top lane, that excels at a number of roles and can be played in different ways. Her combination of mobility, CC, and front line presence makes her a competitive pick in a number of comps. When you master Irelia you can become the carrying force in all the games you play in. Irelia is an extremely fun champion to play and she has been my main top laner for about a year. In lower rating games she is hardly ever seen, and often means that your opponents are unfamiliar with you skillset. I hope that this guide will be informative and help you win lots of games in SoloQ :)
Pros and Cons
Pro's
+ Has mobility and CC + Can have the most tenacity in the game + Works well with trinity force + Deals true damage with ![]() + Excellent Farming |
Cons
- True Damage falls off a bit late game - Is weak lvl 1-6 - Situational CC and mobility - Heavily dependent on AAs - Better nerf ![]() |
Runes
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Masteries
So starting with offence,
![]() ![]() ![]() |
So, now on defence, I focus on picking up hp regen and armor + magic resist, and not so much health. This is becuase ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Abilities
This is one of the strongest passives that can give ![]() ![]() |
This is a skill that gives ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
This skill is what makes Irelia -> ![]() |
This is Irelia's cc ability and should be taken at level 1. You should be aiming to get the stun at all times. This skill makes it very hard to dive ![]() ![]() |
![]() |

Tips and Tricks
If you asked me what defined a decent Irelia player from a GREAT



- When trading as
Irelia one of you main goals is to get
Equilibrium Strike to stun. This can be achieved by not directly using
Bladesurge on you main target. This means using your Q to the nearest low health creep, as you will need your ability off cooldown to maximise your trade potential.
- When you get
Trinity Force, it is often a good idea to time your abilities, and
Transcendent Blades to maximise the damage output from your spellblade passive. Remember that when you
Bladesurge to a creep and kill it, you will get more bonus movement speed from your rage passive.
- In teamfight's you should be zoning out, or killing their carries. If you're the only champion on your team with the capability to initiate then you should be looking for the opportunity to catch their adc out of position. If they have nearby allies, you could
Bladesurge to them, therefore most likely proc'ing your stun
Equilibrium Strike, as this will allow your team to follow up easier especially with people like
Lucian.
- As
Irelia does not have a very good innate escape tool, try to ward and not overextend in the laning phase. If the dive you, kite them around the tower with you
Equilibrium Strike and your
Hiten Style. If you have chosen
Teleport you should just be focused on farming early game.
