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 Vayne

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't fight with your back to a wall

    Don't stand with your back to a wall against her: Condemn (E) knocks you back, and if you hit terrain, you're stunned.

  2. Short, repeated trades

    Take short, repeated trades: she's fragile, and on the third consecutive hit on you, Silver Bolts (W) adds true damage based on your max health.

  3. Don't feed her kills during her ult

    During Final Hour (R), back off rather than risk your life: each champion she kills after damaging them extends the effect.
