Playing as Mordekaiser

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Hit a lone enemy with your Q

    Aim Obliterate (Q) at a lone enemy: if only one enemy is hit, the damage increases.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Playing against Gnar

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Play hard against Mini Gnar

    Take your trades when he's Mini Gnar with little Rage Gene (passive): he then has no stun and none of Mega Gnar's defenses.

  2. Dodge his boomerang

    Dodge Boomerang Throw (Q): it slows you, and if he catches it on the way back, its cooldown drops.

  3. Short trades

    Take short trades: on every third auto or ability that hits you, Hyper (W) adds damage based on your max health.

  4. Stay away from walls

    Stay away from walls against Mega Gnar: GNAR! (R) knocks back every nearby enemy, and those who hit a wall are stunned.
