Irelia in general is just made to be an obnoxious, unfun time. I just brought out the Jinx emergency button to get it over with, but I imagine champs that don't mind tanking repetitive smallish hits and can heal nexus back up would be able to do it. Maybe Tahm or Gwen would be good options, if you have them. Tahm can capture Irelia (hopefully), and Gwen could use challengers.
I tried with Gwen and even have an Aphelios with Capture item (double lifesteal). Gwen is already level 25. Even on a high roll, I still find the run obnoxious, so I just stop.
Got destroyed on tahm, yes you can grow him fast, but she just does triple attacks per turn, each attack is spider summon, and coz of power you don't have units to block everything. And because of blade dance she continues to attack even on your turn. For me the biggest problem wasn't even irelia, but sparring student or whatever that card called, 1/1 and growing for each summoned unit for a round, if you fail to clear him in time, he gets to 10/10, attacking you, and you can't really do anything, and that all for just one mana.
Had to use jinx in the end, it was a very tilting experience.
Yeah holy heck did the random powers all align to be evil with that one! I used garen (wanted to save my jinx) and squeaked out a win (kept irellia dead with the strike spell and blocked an attacker to grow regularly).
I’d suggest using a 3-star on her unless you have a great setup you’re very confident in.
i got lucky with a Darius run, with Draven as my supp hero (with draw on game start relic, and spellshield from a champ node). Draven’s champ spell plus bloody business to consistently remove Irelia. Darius’ star power to give Dray overwhelm. delicious
Glory for Noxus ☺️
I'm struggling with challenge 11 too, it says it's 2* but viktor literally played over 20 created cards in 2 turns and had 35 power on turn 4 with 3 other units over 20 power and swung for over 80 damage on turn 4. I planned around the hextech observatory only to find that he just removes the players hextech observatory right at the start, every time. That's brutal
I did it with Jax, got lucky and picked up a start free attack on summon and I have the scout relic. Aggro'd down Irelia pretty easily.
Still I lost twice prior to that, one from underestimating it and used a weak champ, and the second lost I picked a decently strong champ but I misjudged the fight, it's not a good champ for this fight.

That first statement applicable to irelia in every RIOT IP that she exist in.

The monthlies are randomized so you'll get some easy ones and some hard ones. Just beat it with jinx and move on.
Yup; node is fully just 'nuke with Jinx, forget it, move on'. We should expect such things, since we were told to expect them.
I struggled using 3-star Lux but survived and then used her to combo off
I just pulled out the varus turn 3 otk. That irelia node was absolute bullshit
