Irelia Counter Wild Rift

Laning Phase: Break Her Rhythm

• Patience is your secret weapon: Irelia wants you to fight on her terms. When she's got no stacks on her passive, that's your cue to slow down. Make her take risks to farm, then punish that overconfidence with a well-timed gank.
• Mind games by the minion wave: Watch how she uses Bladesurge for last hits. Bait her in – get close to that low-health minion, then side-step as those blades fly. Now she's stuck with a dash on cooldown and no way to capitalize.
• Fight mobility with mobility: Champions who make her life difficult are the ones she can't predict. LeBlanc's slippery distortions, Fizz with his untargetable shenanigans... make her waste her skills, and she's suddenly less intimidating.

Teamfights:  Choke Out Her Options

• Vision is your ally: Irelia loves those unseen flanks, those sneaky dashes from the darkness. Deny her that luxury! Ward up those jungle paths, and she'll have a harder time catching your team off-guard.
• Ground her for good: If your team has grounding effects (think Singed's glue, Cassiopeia's poison miasma), save them for when Irelia dives in. No resets mean she's just another fighter – and a far less scary one, at that.
• Save the squishies: Irelia's all about diving your backline. Be ready with a Mikael's Blessing for that marked carry. Deny her the reset chain, and you might just turn the fight on its head.

Exploit Her Hidden Weaknesses

Slow her down: Attack speed slows make her life miserable. Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart, or a champ like Malphite can cripple her damage and make those passive stacks harder to build.

Silence is golden: She relies on those fluid ability chains – shut them down with Garen's silence or Soraka's well-timed hush, and her initiation becomes a lot less threatening.

Think outside the box: Sometimes, walls work wonders. Jarvan's arena or Anivia's crystal barrier can break up her dashes and leave her out of position.

Keep Them Guessing!

The most powerful weapon against an Irelia is surprise. Don't be afraid to try unusual picks, to outmaneuver her with unexpected tactics. Make her second-guess every dash, keep her off-balance, and victory will be in your grasp.
