Playing as Irelia

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Corki

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't count on your minions

    Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.

  2. Leave his Gatling cone

    Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.

  3. Avoid brushes hit by his bomb

    Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.

  4. Engage after his dash

    If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
