Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 convincingly with Q max and Conqueror, as your Q silence prevents Mordekaiser from trading back effectively.
- At level 6, Mordekaiser becomes significantly stronger due to his ultimate's isolation and stat steal mechanics.
How to Trade
- You should engage with Q for the silence, land your E spin, then immediately back off before his passive activates.
- Never extended trade when his passive is up, as the magic damage over time will out-damage your sustained fighting ability.
Wave Control
- You want to push early levels to establish lane priority, then look to freeze the wave near your tower once Mordekaiser hits level 6.
- This forces him to overextend for CS while keeping you safe from ganks and his ultimate engage range.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must never fight Mordekaiser in his ultimate realm when both champions are at similar item breakpoints.
- Your second major mistake is staying in extended trades when his passive is active, as the magic damage will always favor him in longer engagements.
