Who wins: Advantage — you
From the counter table · Patch 7.2dAnnie winsIrelia wins
How to play it
- Press early
Annie is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Irelia reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Don't chase
Irelia escapes faster than you — take farm and towers instead of running.
- Physical resistance
Irelia deals physical damage — Zhonya's Hourglass as your 2nd or 3rd item.

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
- Pressure her before she stacks 4 passive — attack speed spikes hard
- Sidestep R (Vanguard's Edge) — it slows + blocks projectiles
How to play as Annie
- Track 4 ability stacks — 5th cast stuns, always open with it
- Open with Tibbers (R) + W (Incinerate) for AoE stun
- Build Luden's Echo + Rabadon's Deathcap for one-shot
