Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Mystic Punch

    Prismatic

  2. Outlaw's Grit

    Gold

    After using a Dash, Blink, or Teleport Ability you gain Armor and Magic Resist.

    Why on Irelia

    Bladesurge (Q) is a dash that resets on Unsteady or dying targets, so chaining it keeps triggering the Armor and Magic Resist while you dive.

  3. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on Irelia

    Bladesurge (Q) gains 200 Ability Haste, so you can dash and heal often even without a reset, which also stacks Ionian Fervor (passive) faster.
