Who Wins
- You can win short trades pre-6 by using Q through minions to hit Mordekaiser and generate pack members, then immediately backing off before he can E-pull you.
- Post-6 becomes extremely difficult as R removes your pack entirely, making you a sitting duck without your primary damage and mobility tools.
How to Trade
- Use Q through the minion wave to poke and build pack, then look for quick E-dash combos when Mordekaiser misses E or uses it on minions.
- Always disengage immediately after your burst combo before he can proc passive or land isolated Q damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to limit Mordekaiser's ability to run you down with passive movement speed.
- Use Q to thin waves without pushing when possible, maintaining pack members for escape routes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight extended trades or let Mordekaiser proc his passive, as you cannot match his sustained damage output.
- Don't use E aggressively when his E is available, as getting pulled in without pack members means certain death.
