    NEW Irelia
    • Welcome back the 2010-2018 version of Irelia! The original Trinity Force poster child is here to even the odds no matter how bad they look. She's been Q-max, W-max, and E-max at various points in time, so see what build order works for you! She's a fast but deceptively durable fighter who loves to be the underdog.
    • Passive - Ionian Fervor: Irelia gains bonus Tenacity based on how many visible enemy champions are nearby.
    • Q - Bladesurge: Irelia dashes to an enemy, dealing damage and applying on-hit effects. If it kills the target, Bladesurge's full cooldown and some of its mana cost are refunded.
    • W - Hiten Style: Passively, Irelia restores some health with every attack. While active, her attacks deal bonus true damage and restore even more health.
    • E - Equilibrium Strike: Irelia damages and slows a nearby enemy. If they have higher %HP than her, she stuns them instead.
    • R - Transcendent Blades: Irelia sequentially fires out four blades in a line, each damaging all enemies they hit and restoring some health to Irelia. This is definitely not just a wave clear tool.
