Garen vs Irelia

Trade with Decisive Strike (Q), then Judgment (E), and back off: the Decisive Strike silence stops your opponent from answering with spells.

During Judgment (E), stay closer to your opponent than to their minions: the nearest enemy takes extra damage.

After a trade, back off until Perseverance (passive) kicks in: without recent damage taken, you regenerate part of your health every second.

Activate Courage (W) just before the bulk of the damage: you first gain a shield and tenacity, then a longer damage reduction.

Save Demacian Justice (R) to finish: its true damage grows with the target's missing health.

Don't stand near your low-health minions: Bladesurge (Q) resets when it kills, so she chains dashes from minion to minion until she reaches you.

As soon as the first blade of Flawless Duet (E) lands, change direction: the stun only hits enemies caught between the two blades.

Take your trades when Ionian Fervor (passive) isn't stacked: she builds stacks with her abilities, and at max stacks her autos deal more damage.

Save your burst for after Defiant Dance (W): while charging, she takes much less damage, but she can't do anything else.

Dodge Vanguard's Edge (R): its blades make you Unsteady, which resets Bladesurge (Q) on you, and the cage they form damages and slows anyone who crosses it.
