Who Wins
- You lose early trades levels 1-3 as Mordekaiser's passive and Q damage output significantly outmatches your limited damage.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with your ultimate engage, but Mordekaiser still wins extended fights in his Death Realm.
How to Trade
- You should focus on short trades using Q to poke and slow, then immediately backing off before Mordekaiser can proc his passive.
- Never commit to extended trades as his sustained damage and healing will overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a safe distance and farm with Q while keeping the wave in a neutral position.
- Avoid pushing early as you're vulnerable to ganks and all-ins without your ultimate available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You must avoid getting caught in extended trades or staying in melee range when Mordekaiser has his passive stacked.
- Never underestimate his level 6 all-in potential even when you have your ultimate, as his Death Realm negates your team fight utility.
