Tips Against Irelia in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

KarateciKagan says “Dont let her strike you when she has her stacks. try to land your w so you can pop brittle and get out. Rush bramble vest into thornmail into steelcaps into any other armor item (frozen hearth, sunfire etc)”
Loocalol says “Runes: Phase rush/Grasp Early: Q start and try to get first 3 melees and her in the same Q. Tips: Unless you have grasp, dont even try to kill her. if you use your abilities in a trade she will just nuke your wave and reset or all-in you. Play to go even and cs well. You can fuck with her in teamfights.”

SpaceVader says “She want a close fight but she cant tank, if you can avoid her stun she cant engage or you are going to shred her.”

Dom1nus says “Whenever she goes for q, auto q her. at 5 stacks she can all in u even at level 1, and at level 2 if she gets her stun. Do small trades at level 3 and avoid using ur w at her w as it negates almost all of its damage.”

Maniaxx says “Irelia’s Q (Bladesurge) allows her to gap close quickly and reset on kills or assists, making it hard for Mundo to trade effectively. E (Vanguard’s Edge) can apply a stun and deal high damage. How to deal with her: Dodge her Q: Irelia relies heavily on her Q to poke and engage. Avoiding it can severely reduce her damage. Build armor and health: Irelia’s damage is mostly physical, so building armor and health will help mitigate her burst.”

a_k_z7 says “this matchups is stupid she can kill you even when super behind it is hard to w her e when it is on a short cooldown and yours is on a 20sec look to play safe and farm and avoid long trades”
quenzo says “Is for many People a Must Ban but for me it isn't that bad or unplayable like against a good Renek because she will come to you and kill all your kids with <4 Q's and thats it if you position yourself good and have a bit wave controll this might be more playable than the rennek match up. Conqueror, Ignite and teleport”
Nithril says “Watch out for your minions' healthbars against her Q, she can easily kill you at anytime, if she does engage, try to have her take as much damage from your minions as possible, swiftness boots for sure, save E and ask for ganks or roam if she sets up a good freeze”

juangepeto says “Irelia is a difficult lane to start with because her passive gives her more attack speed and she has considerable range in both auto attack and q, which allows her to apply a total victory against gp at any time in this lane. I recommend using ignite and rushing if possible the cut heal.”

parker3n9 says “This is probably the second hardest matchup for Swain. Irelia has major kill threat starting at Level 2, so you’ll need to play carefully and defensively until she makes a mistake with her Q. Once she does, that’s your opportunity to punish and all-in her. In this lane, it’s common to die at least once, as her early game pressure is hard to avoid. However, if you can limit the snowball until you hit your two-item power spike, you’ll dominate teamfights against her. With your ultimate and Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, you’ll create so much space in fights that the lane phase will no longer matter. Recommended Runes: Fleet Footwork or Aery (I lean toward Fleet for sustain in this tough matchup) Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport”

Zewrocktumbler says “no one plays her mid in low elo but she still is pretty strong have grass on yourself if she hits stun”

Adamikcz2 says “Good Irelia will hit her E and delete you, stay near your turret and wait for a good opportunity. Once she gets Botrk stop trading and try doing plays around the map with your team.”

Divine Azir says “You win if she doesn't snowball. Very strong dueling, sustain, mobility, and roaming. Weak river skirmishes. Shut down by wave management and ganks. ① Irellia relies on freezing the wave on her side of the lane to run you down. You can abuse your range and zone control to freeze the wave on your side, setting her up for ganks on repeat. ② Watch your minions' health. Irellia's whole trading pattern relies on her stacking her passive by Q-ing onto them so she can jump on top of you and kill you. If the health bars are low, just play safe until her passive expires. Keep in mind she can W the wave to quickly put the casters in execute range. ② If you get stunned, you are dead. The range is quite high, but she has to place two. If you keep a soldier behind you, you can bait out her first E, then E back to your soldier so you can play more aggressively. ③ The lane changes once she gets ultimate. Same thing applies to her ultimate as E, but now she has two abilities to track. If she ults you, you have to drift out of it, so ideally play out of E range entirely. ”

AuroraAddict says “irelia is the hardest one especially in top lane you just have to try and stick the wave close to your tower and never let your wave get pushed towards her cause then she will freeze and you wont be able to do anything about it so vs irelia its better to look for roams if when you have the opportunity overall really hard cause her crazy mobility and dmg +you get electrocute standard vs this match up.”
BesXbola says “Irelia is a very easy lane if you really know what you are doing. If you mess up in any moment she can kill you specially after [[blade of the ruined king]]. Do not let her farm early on and poke her with attacks as much as possible, you cant kill her before 3 only if she has a huge ego. Do not ego on her.”
TrianglularRose says “You need to stay back and wait for her to make a move to make trades, but, so long as you don’t overextend, she can’t really kill you.”

AlexFL7000 says “My permaban, pretty much nothing you can do against her except hope she stays in your W and gets stunned, but even then she will just run you down and kill you. Try to farm under tower and hope for ganks”
Viktor Guide w/ explanations on items by AlexFL7000 | Viktor Player
j4m.euw says “Irelia is very hard to not end up playing against, you will encounter her a lot. You will find her in top or mid, so be careful. Try to get level 2 before her, and punish her with your Q and E. If needed, you can use your windwall against her E if you don't have enough time to use your E to dash out of it, so you need to have quick reactions if your going to use your E to avoid the damage from her own E. However, your windwall cooldown is a lot longer than her E, so keep that in mind. You can actually use your windwall to block her R, but your windwall should be saved from when she uses her E, so you don't get stunned and take a ton of damage. Instead, you should E out of her Ult.”
