Udyr vs Irelia · Top
The lane in ten seconds, then the whole brief — written by our coach for your level, from Riot's own kits for patch 16.22. Every number checked against Riot's data. Options, never orders.
The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.

How the lane plays · Iron – Silver
Udyr wants to stick to Irelia and trade up close, while Irelia wants to dash in and out off minions and stun you with E.
Irelia's Q (Bladesurge) gets her on top of you off minions. Stay near the wave, trade with AAs after she dashes, and keep your stun for her next move.
Once Irelia has E (Flawless Duet), her stun and Q reset get risky. Look for a stun on her first, then land your stances while she's stuck.
Her R (Vanguard's Edge) sets up a slow wall and Marks you. Fight outside the wall, and use E recast if you get stunned or slowed.
Play it aggressive
Right after she wastes Q or E on a minion, you can walk up with E (Blazing Stampede) and start a full trade.
When her E is on cooldown, look for E into AAs so she can't punish you with a stun.
When you've shoved the wave and she's low on mana, you can walk up and force a short trade.
Play it safe
Right after she lands E on you, back off the wave rather than fighting through a stun and Q resets.
When her W is charging, avoid trading into the reduced physical damage; wait it out.
If your wave is pushed and your jungler is unseen, play safe: Irelia dashing in with a Marked target is dangerous.
Their threats · Riot's cooldowns
Dashes onto you or a minion, heals her, and resets on a Marked target or a kill. Keep minions low so you don't feed her dash path.
Two blades converge to stun and Mark you. Walk out of the line between them, and don't stand still while she aims it.
She takes reduced physical damage while charging it, so trading into it is poor. Step out of its line and hit her after it ends.
Your combo

When you reach her with E, stun her with the first AA, then use Q and R to deal damage while she is locked in melee range.

Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
