Playing as Mordekaiser

Tips to maximize your impact

Hit a lone enemy with your Q
Aim Obliterate (Q) at a lone enemy: if only one enemy is hit, the damage increases.
Activate your passive, then stay close
Hit champions or monsters three times, then stay close: Darkness Rise (passive) then surrounds you with a damage aura and gives you move speed.
Pull them into your Q
Pull your targets into the Obliterate (Q) zone with Death's Grasp (E): each spell that hits also counts toward Darkness Rise (passive).
Tank with Indestructible
Cast Indestructible (W) when you're taking damage: it turns stored damage into a shield, and a recast converts part of it into health.
Isolate the carry in your R
Cast Realm of Death (R) on their carry, or their jungler near an objective: you isolate them with you, steal part of their stats, and keep them if you kill them.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay near your minions
Stay near your minions against Obliterate (Q): its damage increases when it hits only one enemy.
Dodge his Death's Grasp
Dodge Death's Grasp (E): it pulls you toward him, into his other spells, and it has a 16 to 8 second cooldown.
At range, kite him
If you have range, kite him: Mordekaiser has no dash, and only Death's Grasp (E), which pulls you in, closes the distance.
Save your mobility in his R
In Realm of Death (R), save your mobility spells to escape him rather than for the duel: he steals part of your stats, and keeps them if he kills you.

Darkness Rise (P)

Mordekaiser gains a powerful damage aura and Move Speed after landing 3 attacks or spells against champions or monsters.
