Does anyone know if getting 3 FoN on Irelia is good if the opposing team is 4 AP? What would be an ideal build against 4 AP?

Just get a warmogs and a banshee. Voids staff would crush triple fon. Or even spirit visage//hexdrinker/wits end all viable.

Am i missing something here or is 3x FoN unrealistically expensive?

EDIT: After your first FoN you might as well get a GA and just hope they blow everything killing you the first time.

Thinking again, wits end+fon+warmogs is probably best bet since you get more damage and banshees I don't like at all on melees. Just get an atmas and banshee after or something. GA I don't like too much vs magic but I Guess it works.

BTW guys, just an aside on yorick vs irelia, you NEED to go 21 defense versus him. I used to have easy times against him since I always went 21 defense and then when I switch to 0/9/21 which is more US style I played vs this random yorick and he felt so OP and I couldn't touch him. If you think about it, with -4 damage taken from each minion that adds up to a LOT over the course of his harass.

Does anyone have any quick tips for facing a Garen in lane? Everytime i've faced one I can either trade or come out worse against him, qq...

And while on the subject who would be best for beating a Garen out in top lane? Jax, Galio?

Ryze can outlane Garen. Just watch out for Flash QE + jungle ganks.

Wriggles for a surefire easy laning phase against garen. Cloth+5 into wriggles. You don't even need boots. Try to stun him when he uses Q but if not just make sure you have W activated and just right click him while he spins since you can't run from him anyway, even though you lose the trade you heal and he doesn't and he can't fight without his CD's

Wriggles+Wits end+Trinity works well, you have strong sustained healing and you kill people as fast as an assassin so your q almost works like an escape bruiser+kill squishy.

Hmm didn't even think of Wriggles, I normally go Cloth+5 HPots, Tabi, Phage, then Wit's end(AP) or Atmas(AD) into either Tri force if more damage needed or GA for more tankiness.

Maybe I just need to get used to her but I feel like nearly everyone just gets to push her around in lane, likely just me being used to Akali/Galio.

Your feelings of inadequacy are exactly the opposite of what you should be feeling when picking Irelia against most lanes. Remember you are a mid- to late-game beast.

FoN is entirely useless and overcosted for the value. Just get multiple negatrons.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

to be fair, half the cost of fon goes into health regen which isn't nearly as useful as flat mr in a battle, but for a solo top irelia where sustain is king, fon is a great investment.
I only make 5 actions per minute. But since I use all my time deliberating and planning, my 5 actions are so brutally devastating that children cry out and grown men weep.

Being able to survive stupid amounts of poke is definitely high value maybe you guys are too used to solo queue when fights happen randomly around the map and its fun to have trinity force to kill everyone but force of nature is definitely not overcosted. In 5 man standoff fights at towers dragons and barons (i.e every single fight in competitive 5's) regen is very useful.

Against AP carries who are usually poke heavy and limited by mana pools FoN is pretty brutal because anyone with void staff can burst you down if you're low health while FoN keeps you high health while having stupid amounts of EHP against magical.

Why isn't Irelia played more in Dominion? Her sustainability and utility in the field are pretty hard to beat.

Welcome to the fold Unfortunate that Irelia's not one of the cheaper champions and her free week is about to end.

I've played against Yorick a couple of times as Irelia (21-0-9), and both times I found his constant harass to be negligible after level 3. I open with a vamp scepter, QWWEQR (I might have grabbed another W at level 5, I don't remember). It's pretty easy to keep your health up just by autoattacking his stupid ghosts and minions. Once you get a sheen and get to level 6, you can engage Yorick freely and own him.

Gotta be careful of the champ rotation. Irelia won't be free starting tomorrow/Wednesday.
