Is Infinity Edge on Irelia a mistake?

Irelia is one of the most unique units we've ever seen in TFT. Not only are her visuals stunning, but the way she fights is completely different as well. Instead of auto-attacking the current target, she weaves her blades around the battlefield. Unfortunately, with such a unique concept comes many unintended interactions, or simply put, bugs. For some reason, Infinity Edge does not appear to be a good choice for her, despite being one of the most commonly built items. Why is that, you might ask? It looks like we have a case to solve. Detective Quack is on the hunt!

    Small Addendum: One of the reasons this bug can be hard to spot, is because Irelia can "fix" an ability cast and deal the intended critical damage, if an enemy unit dies during her cast.
  • @Craftato
    One other thing I’ve noticed this patch with Irelia is that if the last enemy unit is an Udyr and he hasn’t popped his revive passive yet, after it activates Irelia just straight up stops attacking him.
  • @mattkrater307
    Not me finding this video right after finishing a game with IE on my irelia.
  • @TonySripleshock
    So this bug is connected to units failing to cast when the target dies
  • @Nighato
    I need you fish out your high speed cameras from the garage and play a guinsoo build on Irelia and measure if the dmg and speed actually increases properly
  • @GoodyTFT
    Ok that explains why my double IE Irelia was slacking 😞 I wonder how this bug reappeared. Its very possible that the Designer behind Set 8 Samira is also the one behind Set 11 Irelia. Does this mean it'll reappear in Set 14 if there's a similar unit?
  • @pwnguino
    so for example irelia with ie + red buff + guinsoo should be fine since ie is the only crit item correct ? and we should just look to not itemize any more crit items like guardbreaker or hoj. or are other damage amp items like db or gs just flat out better ?
  • @williamutleg
    Hey leduck! Do you know if Silvermere Dawn works with Runaan’s hurricane? I know the value of Runaan’s lowers because of the fixed attack speed, but stunning two people sounds cool plus Horizon Focus would make a good combo.
  • @MellowTFT
    I wish I saw this video before my latest duelists game, where I went 6th with 8 duelists after I had an Irelia with hoj and IE :(
  • @taliyahseason9149
    Sometimes if you get irellia b4 wolves as they go into stealth her attacks are removed or at the very least invincible
  • @derv7978
    Wait, but if Wits end doesnt work, then isnt that also a bug? In her ability it reads "Command the blades to swiftly strike the three lowest Health enemies, dealing (300 / 300 / 2000% AD + 100% Ability power icon AP) as physical damage and applying on-hit effects." So Wits end SHOULD work or Wits end is coded diffrently
  • @LMIP7777
    I never used IE on her after trying it out earlier in the set. I felt other ad items did more damage and now I know why
  • @t0ra_d0ra
    I am in love with only one item on her and that being corrupted vampiric scepter. It really turns her from being pretty meh (most of the times) into godlike.
  • @UCeagle79
    I just played a game with choccs treasures. each team had 4 to 6 blitz hooks. it was maddness. and with training dummies let to crazy interactions. plus some hooks where pulling each other and each swapping places or just meeting in the middle
  • @kraknKo
    Did they ever explain why they changed the tattoo of vitality interaction? it was a fun niche strategy, isnt that what tft is all about
  • @rexw2
    Hi Leduck! How does Corrupt Vampiric Scepter interact with Irelia? Does her auto attack do bonus damage & heal her for the damage? And is she able to cast her ability as she has no mana bar?
