Read from Teemo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Irelia.
This is Teemo's own plan; across 769 pooled games the lane is leaning Irelia.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Irelia | Irelia Q-bounces through minions to stack Ionian Fervor before you have Blinding Dart ready — she sets the early auto-trade tone while your Q is still level 0. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Flawless Duet stun is online at level 2 and punishes any Blind you throw from standing-still range, but your Q also cancels her auto-retrade — the window is genuinely contested. |
| Level 3 | Teemo | Full kit online: Blinding Dart erases her auto-chain, and Defiant Dance cuts physical damage only — your magic Toxic Shot poison burns straight through her W charge. |
| Levels 4-5 | Teemo | Q is max-ranked, your shroom radius is expanding into tribush and river paths, and Irelia must walk up into poison range to deny CS — you dictate every trade timing. |
| Level 6 | Teemo | Your Noxious Trap net accelerates, sealing the lane brushes and jungle entrances so her R Vanguard's Edge engage has nowhere safe to land without triggering reveal and slow. |
| First item | Teemo | Liandry's Torment ignites every Toxic Shot DoT and shroom tick — Irelia cannot Q into you and sustain through the burn, flipping every trade in your favour. |
| Two+ items | Teemo | Your shroom split-push dominance is at full power and Irelia lacks reliable shroom-clear tools — she either surrenders the side lane or walks off half her HP every clear attempt. |
Irelia's level 1 is deceptively strong because she can Q through minions to stack Ionian Fervor without ever walking into your E auto range — do not burn Blinding Dart on a Q-to-minion, save it for the moment she bounces her Q toward you. One thing that helps: Defiant Dance only reduces physical damage, so when she W-charges to tank your trade your Toxic Shot poison goes through it untouched and only the physical half of your autos is blunted. The moment you hit level 2 you can blind her first real auto-trade attempt, but Flawless Duet is also online, and a blind does not stop it — never stand between her two blades.

Start Doran's Ring + 2 Health Potions and back for Oblivion Orb (≈800g) — cuts her healing. Build Nashor's Tooth (on-hit poison) first, then Liandry's Torment, with Sorcerer's Shoes.
