- Defiant Dance is not interrupted by crowd control, try timing it for incoming disables.
- Flawless Duet does not have a maximum travel distance, try using it in creative ways.
PLAYING AGAINSTIrelia
- Pay attention to Ionian Fervor stacks and try to engage Irelia when it is down.
- Minion waves greatly enhance Irelia's mobility, beware fighting her inside one.
- Beware of wasting your high impact spells on Defiant Dance.
