| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is an even skill trade before her resets come online. |
| Level 2 | Irelia | Irelia's level-2 Q reset lets her win the first real trade. |
| Level 3 | Irelia | At 3 her W stance tanks your E return burst. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | 4-5 her reset-stick pattern controls the lane. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Her R wall at 6 cancels your dash and stun-locks you. |
| First item | Yone | First item swings raw stats back to Yone. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two items and Yone out-scales a falloff Irelia. |
Level 1 is even, but from 2 onward Irelia takes over: her Q resets and W damage-reduction let her win every extended trade, and she farms your passive-crit poke with her stance up. Don't get greedy for CS when she has minions to Bladesurge onto.
