Jayce into Ireliamedium

Overview

Use ranged poke with empowered through to deny Irelia safe farm and passive stacks.
Prioritize lane priority by crashing waves before Irelia can set up low-health minions for resets.
Snowball early to prevent Irelia from reaching her level 2 and 6 all-in windows.

Trading pattern

Poke first with empowered through and only switch to hammer form to finish low-health targets.
Punish Irelia if she uses forward without reset or misses stun.
Avoid committing hammer form trades when or is available to engage or mark.

Danger windows

Respect Irelia's passive stacks and low-health minions enabling resets for extended all-ins.
Avoid overextending after hammer form commits due to limited escape options.
Be cautious when Irelia has stun and marks enabling hard engages and slow retreats.

Early game

Start with ranged poke using empowered through to chip Irelia before level 2.
Hold wave near your tower to limit Irelia's access to low-health minions for resets.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when Irelia unlocks stun and resets.

Power spikes

First damage item spike increases poke damage; use it to pressure waves and land empowered before objectives.
Mid-game poke siege with empowered through controls fights; set vision and poke before committing.
Respect Irelia's level 2 spike when and unlock stun and reset threat; avoid giving wave or spacing advantage.

Win conditions

Snowball early by denying Irelia minion access and passive stacks with ranged poke and wave crashes.
Use empowered poke to create health leads and convert them into plate and wave pressure.
Finish trades with hammer form burst only when Irelia's key cooldowns are down to maintain lane dominance.
