Aatrox vs Irelia in Top lane is a hard lane on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: her E (Flawless Duet) is the stun she needs to commit — dodge it and her all-in stalls. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge her E

Her E is the stun setup she needs to all-in you — dodge it and she has nothing to commit with.

She dodges your Q

She'll use her own Q to dodge your Q — anticipate it and don't throw it on cooldown, or she simply dashes out of it.

Don't push

Don't shove the wave — without prio you just become a tower hugger. Farm safely and give up the trades you can't win.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never push the wave into her — you either get all-in'd or get forced into hugging your tower.
