Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Manage lane pressure to deny Irelia clean minion waves needed for her (Q) resets and passive stacks, limiting her all-in threat.
This is a scale versus snowball matchup where Fiora aims to outduel and splitpush while respecting Irelia's early aggression and mobility.

Respect (E) stun setup combined with low-health minions enabling her (Q) resets for extended all-ins.
Be cautious when (W) is down, as Fiora becomes vulnerable to Irelia's burst and crowd control.
