Irelia vs Kled

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Irelia must leverage wave control to maintain passive stacks and create (Q) reset paths against Kled's early aggression.
Pressure Kled early to deny his remount advantage and prevent him from snowballing the lane.

Trading pattern

Stack passive and use low-health minions to chain (Q) resets for extended trades around (E) stuns or (R) marks.
Punish Kled immediately after he uses (W) burst or misses (Q) tether to force trades.
Avoid using (Q) forward without a reset path to prevent being vulnerable to Kled's counter-engage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) pull and (W) burst readiness as his main early all-in threat.
Be cautious when Kled is near remount health to avoid baited overcommitments.
Avoid extended fights without (E) or (R) available, as Kled can punish missed crowd control or disengage.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike by combining (Q) and (E) to stun and engage when minion waves allow safe resets.
Avoid extended trades if (Q) reset paths are not available or (E) is on cooldown.
Maintain spacing to dodge (Q) pull and avoid getting caught near his remount opportunities.

Power spikes

Level 2: Use (Q) and (E) combo for reliable stun and reset trades; pressure Kled before he can safely engage.
Level 6: Use (R) to mark Kled and create strong all-in windows with slow zone for extended fights.
First fighter item: Increase damage and durability to confidently pressure waves and side-lane trades.

Win conditions

Use wave manipulation to maintain (Q) reset paths and stack passive for extended all-ins.
Engage decisively when (E) or (R) marks Kled, exploiting his vulnerability after (W) is forced.
Convert successful all-ins into side-lane pressure to snowball and deny Kled scaling opportunities.
