Matchup plan

Build grievous wounds early because Illaoi's tentacle attacks heal her based on missing health; grievous wounds effectively reduce her healing.

Irelia vs Illaoi · Top lane matchup

01

Core game plan

Irelia must dodge Illaoi's tentacles and E; getting pulled is a huge loss. Early trading is difficult, so play safe and wait for the jungler.

How a strong Illaoi player plays

  1. 1

    E - Test of Spirit

    Pro Illaoi will use E to pull your spirit when you last hit. If pulled under tower, you can't retaliate. Better to give up CS than get pulled.

  2. 2

    W to Force Movement into E

    He'll use W to force you to move, then predict your direction with E. You can juke or use your E to stun him preemptively.

  3. 3

    Q - Tentacle Smash

    Q has a long wind-up but high damage. Pros will use it when you last hit or misposition. Focus on dodging.
