Early game (levels 1–5)

Irelia crushes the first three levels: Bladesurge (Q) resets keep her mobile and healthy while your unstacked Mortal Steel can't answer her burst, and a landed Flawless Duet (E) stun turns a trade into a kill. Deny her reset targets, farm at range, and never fight into a set-up stun.
