Why it works
- Amumu stuns. His R stuns nearby units.
- Irelia goes in. Her Q dashes to the target, heals and resets on marked ones; her E traps enemies between two blades, stuns and marks.
- Irelia's R. It releases blades that explode on reaching a champion.
- Charge. Her W charges a hit and reduces the physical damage taken.
Weak points: Teams with CC and shields; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
