Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Irelia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Irelia | Level 1 favours Irelia as her on-hit stacking wins the first trade. |
| Level 2 | Irelia | Level 2 stays hers with Q Bladesurge letting her weave damage safely. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 is Irelia's: E Flawless Duet stun sets up a reset combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Irelia | Levels 4-5 remain hers as her mobility dodges your Q and E. |
| Level 6 | Irelia | Level 6 favours her: Vanguard's Edge walls off the exit you need. |
| First item | Irelia | On first item Bladesurge heals her through every trade you start. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | With two-plus items your HP and R heal outlast her, so the late game is yours. |
The early game is Irelia's — Ionian Fervor's stacking attack speed and Q Bladesurge resets let her dart through the wave, chunk you, and leave before your E lands, so farm patiently and never chase her Q into minions.
