Who Wins
- You win early trades pre-6 through Q sustain and fear from E, but Mordekaiser scales better into extended fights as he builds passive stacks.
- Post-6 you lose hard in his R since he steals your stats and you can't utilize your mobility or fear effectively in the confined Death Realm.
How to Trade
- Look for quick Q-auto-E trades when his passive is down, using your Q heal to sustain through his poke.
- Avoid extended trades when he has passive stacks building, and use your mobility to disengage before he can proc his 3-stack passive aura.
Wave Control
- Push early levels to deny him farm and look for roam opportunities since you can't match his scaling.
- Freeze when ahead to zone him from CS, but be ready to break freeze if he tries to all-in with passive stacks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get pulled by his E into extended trades when he has passive stacks building up.
- Never fight him post-6 in isolated areas where his R guarantees a 1v1 - his stat steal makes it nearly impossible to win.
