- Trinity Force + W = Your Q one shots caster minions ( before 25 minutes.....? ). This is a very VERY important thing to know for trading as Irelia. After TF, you can WQ to the minion, get the reset, E and bash your opponent like 3-4 times ( Bonus if you crit! ) and then jump back to an inevitably low melee minion. This makes Irelia very safe, and you can just always repeat this when your E is off cooldown.
- It's not optimal, but if you HAVE to Q to the opponent to gapclose, always turn on your W before you do that. This is because of how Qs damage is calculated, so its basically an empowered AA and thus you get some nifty true damage off.
- Your Transcedent Blades ( Ult ) procs the Rage ( Phage ) passive ( when it kills a minion ) , so if you are getting chased, you can just throw them behind you to get some HP back and a movement speed bonus as well. On the other hand, when you are dueling someone, try weaving in auto attacks between each cast to cancel the animation and get more Spellblade procs off. ( SHOULD BE NOTED, SPELLBLADE CD IS 1.5 SECONDS, PLEASE TIME ACCORDINGLY )
- If you are sure you are going to die really soon and have a) an ultimate stack left, b) an usable guardian angel, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT use the last stack. If you die and respawn, you get all 4 stacks back. Really useful to turn teamfights around. ( EDIT: APPARENTLY DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE ;-; SORRY GUISE )
- Use the Frostb
uttlade Irelia skin. Everyone gets instacharmed by datass and you win the game by default. GG :D
- Due to minions scaling better, it is better to use one of your Ult procs to soften minions later, and THEN jump to them. Bonus if you manage to hit your opponent with it too. May require better aiming skills than a potato/OP Thank you/u/IreliaObsession and /u/Eso-Empty
- ( Since these are considered as tips too <.< ) Max E vs Ranged Champions ( Because a 2 second stun should be moreeee than ample time for you too burst them down and also, if they are ranged you will mostly be lower in HP than them, so it is a guaranteed one stun. Max W vs Tanks for infinite sustain and stay in lane.
- You can be relevant with only Trinity Force into full tank, but if you want to go full out Manmode, TF into Guardian's Angel into Blade of the Ruined King/Zephyr into Frozen Heart/Randuins into Wits End. Money shouldn't be a problem since you are farming champions anyway. Everyone underestimates the power of a pre 25 minute GA.
- Rush Randuin's Omen against Tryndamere and farm under turret. If he roams, ward up and push hard. If it gets hard, prepare you anus.
- If your jungler doesn't need a leash/ is starting on the opposite side and the opposite team isn't likely to invade, beg your midlaner to ward the buff and wait in base for the extra 10 G. You'll get to lane 2~ seconds later but you'll have an extra HP/Mana pot. Very useful on any champ that starts flask.
- This is a guide by the 7th best Irelia ( on paper, but he's pretty darned good and he's a chill dude too :D Shoutout to/u/IreliaCarriesuNA { Plis Senpai tell me what I did wrong } ) and it's really useful.
- Playing against Irelia, ( not a lot of ideas ._. ) stacking health is better than armor ( unless the enemy Irelia is smart and builds a BotRK as soon as you hit 3k+ HP ), wait for her to use W to farm/sustain and then go in. Call for ganks often.... idk general stuff.
