Counter / cooperate relationship

Matchups

Counters

Irithel counters heroes with a shorter Basic Attack range than her or ones that lack mobility and can be easily kited, such as Miya and Alpha.

Countered by

Irithel is countered by heroes with strong CC capabilities or can restrict movement, such as Badang and Silvanna. Because Irithel does not have any Blink skills, her advantage vanishes once her mobility is restricted.

Compatibility

Irithel works best with heroes that can slow or provide hard CC such as Valir and Hylos because they allow her more opportunities to deal damage.
