SotD includes 30 APen on it's active, doesn't do much for true damage either. But at least E and R would get something out of Malady. I guess the best item would be Stinger... | ||

He seems to go Locket first which is interesting, but it gives him a lot of survivability and mana. Lets him spam tons of abilities and constantly dash in and out of team fights. He then goes Ghostblade second. Also he's been using hexdrinker against heavy magic teams. He gets Hexdrinker a lot. He even goes Bloodthirster a few times. Basically his core seems to be Locket and Ghostblade. Starts with Doran Shield into Catalyst and boots first into those two items. It seems like an unusual build but he seemed to be destroying people with it. Didn't get a good look at his runes/masteries though. He described Irelia as a combination of his two favorite champs: Yi and Xin. | ||

What I saw him do was: Locket, Boots, Zeal, Zeal, Avarice -> Ghostblade. Locket is good on a lot of champions (Evelynn and Udyr are two that I've seen it on) but I'm never sure if Locket is the best item to get first on anyone, but it seems to work for him. I'm keen to try it. | ||

Also, late game it seems like she really needs a good initiator on her team, like amumu/galio/etc otherwise she just seems to be raped as soon as she jumps into the fight. | ||

She still benefits a lot from triforce, but from a team perspective, there's really no justification for letting irelia solo farm for so long only to come back with a triforce. If I used that 4k gold strictly to increase my EHP in the most cost-efficient manner possible (heart of gold x 3, 1 negatron), she'll probably contribute better in teamfights? I dunno. Something like this: ![[image loading]](http://i53.tinypic.com/28kpqhd.png) | ||

Again, you're STEALING GOLD FROM YOUR TEAM BY FARMING ON A BAD SCALING CHAMP CALLER. | ||

Again, you're STEALING GOLD FROM YOUR TEAM BY FARMING ON A BAD SCALING CHAMP CALLER. and im saying she scales well and can carry a team ezpz you should have two roles-mid game assassin late game assault tank mid game you run around with trinity force and red and just slaughter everybody-you can outburst warwick's damage at the same level, etc you burst with q and e followed by w, and then just q in again since the cd is so stupid short and burst them again late game you add more tank items so you can do your burst more often. You also get anti-tank with your W being the most damaging thing to tanks out of like all champs. In order to anti-tank properly you need to be durable enough to deal with the tanks damage, i.e. you have to deal with a garen with a sunfire, going full tank doesn't help you can't gimp their carries mid game without some burst damage to take them out. irelia plays like akali midgame (run in and kill people very fast) and xin zhao late game | ||

Also side note: Hiten style heals you while attacking towers. Pretty sure most people know this but for those who might not just putting it down. This might make her good at BDing depending on your build. | ||

I raped the shit out of him with half health left and a kill, ran with a jax into a galio/morgana/kayle and game away with a double kill. It actually seemed I was doing just as much damage as with callers build but with a shit more survivability. other irelia was pro isallicansay | ||

I've been having quite a bit of success with it in the normal queue but I hardly play at a high enough level to judge if it's the build or my opponents. | ||

Other items I like: Ghostblade is awesome for chasing and whatnot. Starks gives her a lot of great things for late game. Last Whisper is obviously pretty good. Force of Nature is pretty cool for AP heavy teams. Hexdrinker is too. Rageblade is pretty decent. I didn't fail when I got it so... The BF Sword items are worth getting too. As for skill builds, QEQWQR -> RQEW is my preferred one. Makes farming great. I suggest you get this if you go for a Locket or if you're 1v2 or 2v2. EQEWER -> REQW is also pretty good. More burst and your chasing is still really good with the E. I like this one as well, they're very similar. Good for 1v1. WEWQW -> RWEQ is pretty underwhelming. The lack of cooldown on Q for chasing is noticeable. I tried this first because I thought it would be the best one, but the maxed W doesn't work too well with Sheen and so on. If you're stacking AS, this is great though. Would love to know what other people have found while playing her. | ||

I think the only thing you didn't cover, is to pay attention to your lane partner/opponents before you decide E or Q first. | ||
