How to beat Irelia
- Stay spread — E (Flawless Duet) stuns if you line up
- Don't bunch with minions in her E arc — she'll stun through them
- Buy Mercury's Treads + Maw of Malmortius vs her mixed damage
- Pressure her before she stacks 4 passive — attack speed spikes hard
How to play as Nilah
- Roam between lanes and pick off isolated squishies — rush Duskblade of Draktharr
