Irelia Matchups

Hard Counters

Tryndamere★★★

Tryndamere out-sustains and out-damages you in extended trades and his ultimate prevents your kill pressure.

Volibear★★★

Volibear stat-checks you with raw damage and his passive attack speed matches your stacking mechanic.

Warwick★★★

Warwick sustain and damage reduction make him nearly impossible to kill in lane.

Favorable Matchups

Gangplank

You can dash onto Gangplank through minions and he cannot trade back against your stacked passive.

Gnar

You all-in Mini Gnar easily with your dashes and he cannot kite you once you are on top of him.

Vladimir

Vladimir cannot sustain through your all-in and you can dive him easily with your resets.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Stack your passive on minions before engaging to maximize your damage in trades.
• 2.Use Bladesurge resets on low-health minions to gap close through the wave onto enemies.
• 3.Land Vanguard Edge on multiple targets in teamfights to mark them for resets.
