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

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”
Quinn Top Lane Guide for 2025 by Nithril | Quinn Player
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”
BigBallsLarry says “Beware of her lvl1, as she can Q the first 3 minions and auto you to death with fully stacked passive. If she plays aggresively you can abuse this to your advantage and parry her stun to burst her. If you parry her Q after she landed E or Ult, she wont get the reset for quite a long time, however you should always aim to parry either E or ult. Dont underestimate her damage with full stacks and play patiently but aggresively. If you abuse her early you win.”
sprdlol says “A good Irelia can destroy you easily. Keep one of your ability up for her E. You are better than her in teamfight. You can catch her on side lanes, no allied minion nearby = free kill.”
