Early game (levels 1–5)

Irelia's kit relies on minions and wards for Bladesurge resets, and your Seastone Trident poke plus Urchin Strike engage lets you punish her for overextending on cannon waves before she has gold for Trinity Force tempo. She can trade with Q-AA-Q but your range and E disengage keep the fight in your favor.
