Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades through superior range and poke with Q, as Mordekaiser lacks gap closers to force extended fights.
- Post-6 becomes Mordekaiser favored since R isolates you in Death Realm where he steals your stats and you can't kite effectively.
How to Trade
- Trade with Q poke when he goes for CS, then use W to disengage before he can stack passive or land E pull.
- Never commit to extended trades as his passive aura and W shield make him stronger in prolonged fights.
Wave Control
- Push waves early with Q to establish priority, then look to roam or back for items before he hits power spikes.
- Avoid slow pushing as it gives him opportunities to all-in you in large minion waves.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get pulled by his E when you're overheated, as you'll be unable to use abilities and he'll easily stack passive for a kill.
- Never fight him in Death Realm without QSS or significant item advantage, as the stat steal makes it nearly impossible to win.
