Back to Team CompsIrelia and Lee Sin Dragonlords
Irelia is your late game carry in this Fast 9 TFT comp. Itemize Galio on frontline to tank damage while Irelia picks off your opponent's board.
Final Board Setup
This a late game composition where we need to preserve HP and economy early on, either through economy, portals, and augments. This composition is best played from a strong Storyweaver opener or from a Fortune cashout.
The Talisman of Speed or Talisman of Aid perk for Kayle should be taken in this composition. Talisman of Speed is good for a higher cap late game, but Talisman of Aid excels at killing units in the early game, but will be less useful in the late game since Irelia has passively built-in Sunder.

Janna can be flexed with any strong, upgraded 4 or 5 cost unit

Early Game
In general, play strong early boards with upgraded units who can hold slammed items. Preserving HP is key to hitting capped late game boards.
Stack your backline around Sivir to focus fire enemy units one at a time and to benefit from her attack speed bonus.
Avoid building Last Whisper because Irelia has built-in Sunder later in the game

Mid Game
On stage 4-2, if you have enough gold (30+ gold) after leveling to 8, then look for a strong 4 cost carry to hold Irelia items – Ashe and Kai’sa and great candidates (play whichever you upgrade first). As always, frontline items should be moved onto stronger, upgraded tanks.
Position Diana in between your frontline tank and carry as her ability gives damage reduction 1-Hex around her
If you are flexing Ashe, then make sure to play a +1 Sniper instead of Teemo.

If you don't have enough gold, then roll on 4-5 instead
Late Game
After you stabilize with upgraded 4-costs, look to push level 9 with 30+ gold to roll for Irelia and other legendary units. Generally, you should never move items off Kai’sa or Ashe until you hit Irelia 2*. Moving items off of Lee Sin to a 2* Wukong is another way to cap out your board.

Put Rakan enemy carry side to apply damage reduction
Janna is a flex spot – upgraded legendary units will should have priority
