Irelia into Yonemedium

Overview

Use minion waves to maintain reset paths and force extended fights around or marks.
Deny Yone safe scaling by punishing cooldowns and wave states that enable his knockup.
Prioritize early lane agency to snowball through trades before Yone hits key item breakpoints.

Trading pattern

Prepare passive stacks and use mobility to engage only when or can mark Yone for stun or slow.
Punish Yone if he wastes from a bad position or misses his knockup.
Avoid committing without a safe reset path to prevent being punished after overextension.

Danger windows

Respect Yone's cooldown; he can extend trades and safely snap back when it's available.
Avoid fighting around Yone's third cast knockup and displacement, which can turn fights instantly.
Do not all-in without reset paths and passive stacks, as Yone's mobility punishes overextensions.

Early game

Stack passive and use resets on low-health minions to engage trades when Yone's is down.
Avoid trades when Yone's is ready to snap back or when he has stacks for knockup.
Use level 2 power spike with and to threaten all-ins before Yone unlocks his level 3 combo.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks + combo for early stun and reset threat; use this to force trades.
Level 6 adds engage and slow zone; use to commit when passive stacks and resets are ready.
First completed fighter item increases damage and durability; pressure waves and side-lane trades more confidently.

Win conditions

Create reset paths with wave control to force extended fights when or can mark Yone.
Punish Yone's bad usage and missed knockups to gain lane dominance and deny farm.
Convert early all-ins into side pressure or roams to deny Yone calm scaling and reset windows.
