Irelia vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Irelia should leverage her early high agency and mobility to pressure Aurelion Sol and deny him a calm scaling lane.
This matchup is a snowball vs scale dynamic where Irelia must aggressively use wave setups and resets to punish Aurelion Sol's weak early game.

Trading pattern

Stack passive through the wave and use (Q) resets to extend trades only when (E) or (R) marks are available.
Punish Aurelion Sol when he misses his poke or waveclear abilities by engaging quickly with (E) stun.
Avoid trading when lacking passive stacks or reset paths, as Aurelion Sol can punish overextensions.

Danger windows

Be cautious when lacking passive stacks or reset paths, as Irelia becomes vulnerable to poke and counter-engage.
Avoid fighting without (E) or (R) available since missing these reduces all-in reliability.
Track enemy roam timings; hard push waves and take plates to punish Aurelion Sol's absence and avoid losing lane pressure.

Early game

Use level 2 power spike by combining (Q) and (E) to stun and threaten resets before Aurelion Sol unlocks his full kit.
Maintain wave control to keep low-health minions for (Q) resets and avoid fighting without passive stacks.
Avoid committing (Q) forward without a safe reset path to prevent being punished by Aurelion Sol's poke.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) and (E) combo, enabling early all-ins; use this to pressure and force Aurelion Sol out of lane.
Level 6 (R) adds engage and slow, increasing all-in threat; commit only with wave and passive setup.
First completed fighter item boosts Irelia's durability and damage; increase lane pressure and side-lane trades confidently at this point.

Win conditions

Deny Aurelion Sol safe farm by using wave setups and (Q) resets to force extended all-ins before he scales.
Use (E) and (R) marks to secure kills or force summoner spells, snowballing lane dominance.
Transition lane pressure into side-lane skirmishes and objective control to capitalize on Irelia's mobility and reset potential.
