Azir vs Irelia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize safe farming with soldiers to outscale Irelia's early all-in threat.
Deny (Q) reset paths by managing wave position and minion health.
Use (R) and (E) to deter or disengage her all-in attempts and maintain spacing.

Trading pattern

Poke with (W) and (Q) soldiers from max range, avoiding extended fights.
Save (E) and (R) defensively to counter Irelia's engage or punish missed (E).
Step forward with soldiers and (R) to punish (Q) without reset or missed (E).

Danger windows

Irelia is most dangerous with low-health minions enabling (Q) resets and (E) or (R) marks.
Avoid committing (E) aggressively without (R) available to prevent collapse.
Exercise caution when (R) is down; Irelia's engage and stickiness increase threat.

Early game

Hold wave near your turret to limit (Q) mobility and all-in angles.
Use (W) and (Q) soldiers to poke without overextending before level 6.
Respect Irelia's level 2 power spike; avoid trades when (E) and (Q) are up.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for defensive disengage and punishing Irelia's all-ins.
First mage DPS item increases soldier damage, improving poke and trade potential.
Track Irelia's level 2 with (Q) and (E) for early all-in threat windows.

Win conditions

Maintain controlled waves to safely farm and chip Irelia with soldiers.
Use (R) to deny or punish her all-in attempts and force cooldowns.
Outscale by reaching item spikes and controlling space in teamfights with soldier zones.

Tip: For Azir vs Irelia, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
