R (Realm of Death) isolates an enemy in a 1v1 and steals their stats — use it on the carry or jungler during objective fights.
The passive (Darkness Rise) creates a damage field around you after 3 hits — stay close to enemies for continuous damage.
Q (Obliterate) deals bonus damage on isolated targets — hit a single target for maximum damage.
E (Death's Grasp) pulls enemies — use it to bring them into Q range and activate your passive.

Playing against Mordekaiser
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Buy a QSS to escape his R — it's essential for carries who don't want to be isolated.
Kite him: Mordekaiser is slow with no dash. Ranged champions and slows counter him well.
His E (pull) has a visible delay: sidestep when you see the animation.
% max HP damage counters him since he builds HP: Vayne, Kog'Maw, and Liandry's are effective.
