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 Riven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after her dashes

    Take a trade once she has used Broken Wings (Q) and Valor (E): those are her dashes, on cooldowns of 13 seconds and 10 to 6 seconds.

  2. Back earlier once she hits 6

    Once she hits level 6, back earlier: the Wind Slash of Blade of the Exile (R) deals more damage to enemies missing health.

  3. Interrupt her combo

    If you have CC or a silence, use it during her combo: all her mobility comes from her spells.
