Playing as Irelia
Tips to maximize your impact
- Mark your target before you dash
Mark your targets with Flawless Duet (E) or Vanguard's Edge (R) before Bladesurge (Q): if the target is Unsteady or dies to it, its cooldown resets.
- Stack your passive before trading
Before a trade, hit minions with Bladesurge (Q) to stack Ionian Fervor (passive): each stack gives attack speed, and at max stacks your autos hit harder.
- Catch your target between blades
Place the two blades of Flawless Duet (E) on either side of your target: only enemies caught between them are stunned.
- Tank burst with Defiant Dance
Use Defiant Dance (W) to absorb a burst: you take less damage while charging, and the longer you hold it, the harder the release hits.
Playing against Camille
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after her Hookshot
Take a trade after her Hookshot (E): it's her only dash before level 6, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.
- Get out of her leap's path
When she latches onto a wall with Hookshot (E), step out of her line: she has 1 second to leap, and the landing stuns nearby champions.
- Back off between her two Qs
Back off after the first Precision Protocol (Q) attack: if the second comes after a short delay, it hits harder and part of it ignores your armor.
- Fight inside her R, don't flee
Save your spells to fight inside The Hextech Ultimatum (R) rather than to flee: the trapped target can't leave the zone while it lasts.
