Guide to Synergizing Pyke and Irelia

Tips for Playing as Pyke with Irelia

The Tap version of Bone Skewer is much faster and deals additional damage.

A lot of your agressive spells are also your escapes. Make sure you always have a plan to get out of the fight.

Hitting an enemy with the Hold version of Bone Skewer will always pull them the same distance. Use it in melee range to throw targets behind you.

Pyke is very fragile so don't be afraid to temporarily run from a fight. You can regenerate a significant amount of health from Gift of the Drowned Ones when enemies can't see you.

Advice to Understand How Irelia Will Play

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.

Use Bladesurge to cover great distances by targeting low life minions on your way to champion targets.
