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 Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
