Thats the build i use when i go AP Irelia. Why AP? Lets look at some synergistic aspects of Irelia's Skills. - This can be used with Bladesurge to increase the damage it deals, it can also be used as a Lich Bane trigger and is fairly spammable. - This skill has a 1:1 AP Ratio, and a base 300 damage at rank 5. This can be used following a Bladesurge to deal an impressive amount of damage in a 1-2 punch. - While AD gives a better scaling, AP is easier to build up, so the damage balances out. If used as necessary, this can give either five individual Lich Bane procs or a quick emergency heal. - See above - The slow from this ability can devastate anyone's ability to move when combined with the slow from Equilibrium Strike. In addition it provides a good boost in HP for survivability / - Both of these provide added survivability as they give Armor / MR and an Invulnerability active. in addition, Abyssal Scepter provides MR Reduction, allowing your Equilibrium Strike and Transcendent Blades to hit even harder.
 * - This procs the Lich Bane buff, and procs the buff's bonus damage in one go, the same as Ezreal's Mystic Shot.
