Reading her skillset she seems a lot more like Akali then a tank, though she can probably be built beefy and still be fine. IMO Her passive is really good.

Uta and I were chatting, I bought it up, both of us immediately went like Hiten Mitsurugiryuu.

HIVE MIND


Yeeeah! Immediately thought of the same thing as well.

From the looks of it, isn't AS>AD>AP probably the best way to for her? Attack speed obviously synergizes with her W and I think that's the probably the best way to run her.

From the couple games I played with her, an endgame Starks, Bloodthirster, Frozen Mallet build seemed to work really effectively. I took Berserkers too, and was around 1.8ish AS with around 60% Lifesteal, and it got very hard to kill her. In fact, I 1v2ed without issues.

Thoughts?
On my way...

I still think I'd rather have Randuins/FoN/Mallet or GB on her. Her jump doesn't have Xin's range -- I'm not really sure how you can get at someone without a bunch of defense.

She seems and feels like an akali/xin mix. It's weird. I really don't like when people build her tanky...it just seems really subpar compared to other characters than are now generally built tanky (olaf, xin, garen, etc) Her burst is amazing though. In often cases 2-3 shots carries. GG

Irelia really, really makes me think of Olaf, so i'm expecting her actual power/role to be like her once people figure her out (and maybe some uptuning).
tree.hugger: Coming off of [(T)fantasy v. (T)Really] into [(T)Barracks v. (T)MVP] is like coming out of Manhattan into New Jersey. You just have to speed up and ignore it.

I have no idea, I haven't looked at her skills, the numbers on them, etc. and I don't plan to, I was just commenting that most people crying about a hero tend to have 0 idea what they're talking about. Short of blatantly OP heroes (Sona, Xin) most heroes take a while to settle in.

four ways to play
tryhard:
a) ghostblade core (usually after jungling, based off a r>w>e>q build with one point in q at lvl 4)
b) trinity force core (usually after laning with a q>w>e>r build with one point in e at lvl 4)

once you get one or the other you can orient towards more dps items (i.e. bloodthirster) or towards more tanky items (i.e. frozen mallet, randuins). I like the latter just because you're so squishy. My engame build is:

Trinity force
Merc Treads
Frozen Mallet
Randuins Omen
Thornmail/Force of Nature
Guardian Angel

the longer you're in the fight the more you can spam your q/w/e.

brave:
trinity force + snowballs
trinity force + tiamats

Irelia is retardedly hard to kill even with virtually no tank item, short of a 5-man burst.

Does her W scale at all? Since it deals true damage massing attack speed can't be too bad of an option unless you're using her to take out carries who have no armor.

I'm not too sure, her charge has shunpo written all over it (single target "blink" whereas xin's does an aoe) Then she has a nuke which is pretty much Olaf's E except it trades true damage for scalability and CC, hell even the animations look similar.

She is very bursty but can actually put out some decent sustained melee damage if she builds physical over AP. Feels more like Akali / Olaf / Kat then Akali / Xin.

I would like to experiment with Manamune on her as you can use Q to clear a creep wave extremely quickly like that which helps farming.

However, I feel like her build will be something along the line of Malady / Nashor's Tooth for AP and ASPD over a more physical build.

Then again this is only after a couple games on her so I may be way off base.
