Riot supplies this champion's identity, text, and abilities. MacroDiff has not published a curated analysis layer for it yet, so roles and signals below are inferred from Riot's archetype data.

KIT READ

Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Bladesurge

Irelia dashes forward to strike her target, healing herself. If the target is Marked or dies to Bladesurge, its cooldown refreshes.

W

Defiant Dance

Irelia charges a strike that deals more damage as she charges. She takes reduced physical damage during the charge.

E

Flawless Duet

Irelia sends out two blades which converge on each other. Enemies caught in between are damaged, stunned and Marked.

R

Vanguard's Edge

Irelia fires a massive number of blades that explode outward upon hitting an enemy champion. Enemies hit by the blades are damaged and Marked. Afterwards the blades form a wall that will damage and slow enemies that walk through it.
