Lore

Raised in the shadow of Noxian occupation, Irelia developed one of the most exotic—and deadly—fighting styles in Ionia. While most of her family died at the hands of the invaders, she survived and learned to wield her levitating blades with nothing but her own determined spirit. She remains a fierce symbol of the resistance, ready to strike down any tyrant who may reach the shores of her homeland.

Tips

Playing as

  • Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
  • Save your Transcendent Blades attacks for the right moment.
  • Reserving Equilibrium Strike for losing battles can often turn the tide.

Playing against

  • Be wary of Irelia's Equilibrium Strike, as it stuns if you have a higher Health % than her.
  • Irelia can quickly cover great distances by using Bladesurge on low life targets (its cooldown refreshes if it slays the target).
