Irelia be normally played Top and does nay currently have a reviewed Support course. Support most often needs useful engage, peel or utility while operating on low doubloons income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
A different course's gear be nay relabelled as true to course. Role income, sea chart access and starting rules can change th' whole purchase order.

Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishWhen Irelia strikes enemies with spells she gains stacking bonus Attack Speed. At maximum stacks she also gains bonus damage on hit.
Arrr, practical readIonian Fervor be an automatic part o' th' kit involving basic-attack interaction and damage. Track when its condition be active instead o' treating every fight th' same way.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishIrelia dashes forward to strike her target, healing herself. If the target is Marked or dies to Bladesurge, its cooldown refreshes.
Arrr, practical readBladesurge contributes protection or sustain. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Meeting th' listed condition refreshes or reduces downtime. Lost overboard that condition changes th' next aboard available cast.
Th' protection or sustain be part o' th' cast's value. Compare its timing wit' incoming damage rather than reading only th' offensive effect.
Th' cast changes position or access. Sailor record fer where th' champion finishes, nay only where th' trick begins.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishIrelia charges a strike that deals more damage as she charges. She takes reduced physical damage during the charge.
Arrr, practical readDefiant Dance contributes movement or repositioning and damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
This cast has a wind-up, charge or channel. Movement, interruption or a changing target state can matter afore th' effect completes.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishIrelia sends out two blades which converge on each other. Enemies caught in between are damaged, stunned and Marked.
Arrr, practical readFlawless Duet be part o' Irelia's E pattern. Read its listed effect first aboard, then track th' cooldown and condition that make th' next aboard use valuable.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishIrelia fires a massive number of blades that explode outward upon hitting an enemy champion. Enemies hit by the blades are damaged and Marked. Afterwards the blades form a wall that will damage and slow enemies that walk through it.
Arrr, practical readVanguard's Edge be a ranged cast involving a slowing effect and damage. Respect its line or target area, and avoid spending it when th' foe can simply step astern afore th' fit fer th' captain's eye exchange.
Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Deny space wit' yer course partner, but keep th' carry moored to th' wave instead o' roaming at every opportunity.
Move first aboard wit' an ally, establish vision and protect th' course yer crew will use to enter.
Set sail only when crewmates can follow, then change to peel if an foe reaches th' protected carry.
Hold th' trick that makes foes respect yer course and trade when both Bot-course partners be shipshape.
Recall and move on seaworthy wave timings; an unsupported roam can cost th' carry an entire wave or a dive.
Control one approach and keep enough protection fer th' foe's most likely engage.
Stay fer a crashing wave, block a dive and avoid spending th' key defensive trick on low-value poke.
Enter darkness wit' another sailor and ward th' nearest useful entrance instead o' reaching fer deep vision.
Peel first aboard and punish overextension. A blind engage rarely repairs a losing battle.
Pings, movement and prizes
Turn ship's intelligence into a shared decision. Move wit' an ally and preserve th' tool that makes th' next aboard fight seaworthy.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
Use th' chart
Compare a specific foe, return to th' champion overview, or choose another champion without losing th' queue distinction.
