Summoner Spells Back to Top

Flash: This is a mandatory spell for Mordekaiser as Morde has a very slow base movementspeed and no escapes. You can also use this to flash onto carries and one shot them.

Teleport: Helps Mordekaiser get around the map. Can be used for teleporting into a teamfight to aid you team, to control objectives such as dragon and baron, or just simply to get back to lane faster. You should take this top and mid.

Ignite: Gives Mordekaiser that kill pressure in lane. This 6 second DOT is very nice when combined with you 10 second DOT ult. Take this in the bot lane. You can take it mid over TP if you think you can kill your opponent a lot. Not recommended for top.

Smite: Mandatory on all junglers. Gives you extra experience in the jungle and is used to clear the jungle with ease as well as objective control. Only take it in the jungle.

RESOLVE

The key mastery point here is in STORMRAIDERS. This Keystone is a MUST on any laning Mordekaiser. You have no cc, no gap-closers and the same base movementspeed as a minion (325). This is very slow! Stormraiders lets u keep up with your target as well as the ability to get in, chunk some damage and get out in the laning phase.

JUNGLE MORDE MASTERIES: Instead of the 12/18/0, you go 12/0/18. The Ferocity tree remains the same. In the resolve tree you take Unyielding, Explorer, Runic Armour, Insight, Swiftness and Strength Of the Ages.

Jungle: Q > E > W. Max E > Q > W. (You max E for the shorter CD, faster jungle clear and the shield)

Bot: E > Q > W. Max W > Q > E.

Useful Ability Tricks:

Q - You can auto reset with your Q

W - You can "cs" from a range by placing your W on a minion and reactivating it. In the Top lane you can also go to gromp or krugs, activate your W, make sure 2 monsters are inside the ring (except gromp), then reactivate your w. This will give you a pretty huge pool of health to help you sustain in lane. This also works on allies as well as on any camp in the jungle. This works Bot and Mid as well. You can also place your W on your allies to give you a little speed boost when following them, as well as extra damage from a distance.

E-You can auto and E very quickly. In lane, cs safely with this spell at a distance, try to not hit as many minions so you do not push the lane. Morde is very weak to ganks as he has low mobility and CC. When trading, try to hit as many minions with this spell when you try to use it on a champion. You will get a bigger shield on your passive which will deflect more of your opponent's retaliation.

R-You are able to solo baron at 20 minutes every game as long as you have the dragon ghost and you are level 11. You just need to get the dragon to tank for you. Make sure you do this fast, as a rank 2 Morde ult only lasts for 45 seconds so be careful that your dragon doesn't die on you. Lategame, you can 1 shot most squishies by surprise if you get the last proc of you Q ready on either minions or a turret, flash third Q a squishy, then E and Ult.

Items Back to Top

Starting Items

The standard start for mid and top mordekaiser, mordekaiser's abilities cost health. The health regen from this item makes up for it. The bonus health you get also works well with your passive as it increases the size.
You can go boots 4 when you think you need to dodge skillshots or if you need the susstain. It is viable into matchups such as ahri. Dorans Shield Is still recommended for most matchups, but this is certainly viable.
The Jungle Start. Get this item when you are jungling, it helps you clear and it gives you more xp in the jungle
Take this when you are in the bot lane, gives nice sustain. DO NOT COMPLETE THIS ITEM
you can opt to take the dark seal into easy matchups or matchups where you think you can get lots of kills such as a nasus or maokai. If you dont end up getting stacks, no worries, just sell it

Core Items

CORE AGAINST AD LANE
CORE VS AP, You can get an abyssal in these matchups, but if you want to be tankier but do a bit less damage, you can swap the abyssal for a spirit visage
This is Ap0calypse's jungle core build. He is currently the #1 Morde World. Ive tried this build and I really like it. I recommend it as it works wonders
you will sell your relic shield. Nashors is a pretty huge DPS boost, but is optional build what you want after rylais and sorc boots

Situational Items

You can get this if you need the magic pen and if you are ahead in lane. The health and the burn is also very nice
When you need more of that magical penetration. Take this as a damage boost when the enemies are stacking MR
IF AD PEOPLE ARE HURTING YOU
IF AP PEOPLE ARE HURTING YOU
IF EVERYONE IS HURTING YOU. Get this if you are getting bursted. It is a very nice item I LIKE IT A LOT O.o
IF CRITS ARE HURTING YOU. YOU SHOULD GET THIS AGAINST AUTO ATTACKING COMPS/ champs. This is a highly recommended rush when laning against a tryndamere.
2 Nice ARMOUR ALTERNATIVES. Choose IF YOU WANT SUN POWERS OR SANIC POWERS!
DMG AND SANIC SPEED!
if you have a lot of stacks you should upgrade your seal to a mejais. If you are at 20 plus stacks you can get a rabadons! It kinda is overkill though....
Resistances, Sanic Speeds near structures and little minions? Whats not to like about this item. You can get this if you want to get a lane pushing.
Because dying sux......get this when you cant afford to die
Health, Cdr, DMG, AND ROCKETS! THIS ITEM IS AWESOME! Plus the rockets even slow when u have rylais!
A nice item to counter auto attacking champions. When buying this item, make sure u have some health! This item gives no health only 100 armour. Health is nice with it's passive
Get the blue trinket in lane and the Upgraded Red trinket in the Jungle. (for some reason there isnt an upgraded red trinket icon atm, so i guess ill settle for that runty un-upgraded red trinket icon lel)
GET THIS IN EVERY ROLE, mordekaiser is very prone to ganks, although you can 1v2 most of the time, its still important to know when the jungler is comming. It can also be usefull to help set up a gank for you as you can clear their wards.

Every Mordekaiser build should be different after the core. Remember to not blindly build items, build items depending on what you need or depending on what the enemies have/dont have. Mordekaiser has a very flexible builds! Choose wisely!

Back to Champion List

VS

Aatrox

Hard

He heals your damage back, you can try to all in early, but chances are with his passive, he is going to get out. Turn this into a farm lane.

VS

Darius

Easy

Dodge his heal. You win the all in if you both all in. Fight at level 4, your shield will stop his bleed. Do not go for small trades just all in. He wins smaller trades with his passive. This is a winning lane if you play it correctly

VS

Gangplank

Easy

Just be careful of his and you should be fine. You win the all in pretty easy

VS

Garen

Easy

Garen has long cooldowns, If he uses his on you, run up with him while you are silenced to cover more ground. Once the silence is over you win the trade with your and Before the Silence hits you, be sure to activate your Early as it will deal and absorb some damage (with your shield passive) while you are silenced. If you think he is trying to all in you with his ult, be sure to pop your ult a bit early just incase so his does not execute you.

VS

Illaoi

Hard

You win pre-6. After 6, you lose. Dodge her tentacles and kill her passive. Turn this lane into a farm lane. Do not engage her after 6 as you will lose, try to cheese for an all in at level 3-4. After 6, its better if she engages on you instead of you engaging on her. Just a hard matchup in general. One of the only melee matchups you lose

VS

Maokai

Easy

He does not do enough damage to kill you play safe till 3 and try to get him to hit you with his escape . If he uses this you can just kill him and surprise him with your damage.

VS

Mordekaiser

Easy

I have never played this lane lmao...You probably counter him anyways Kappa

VS

Nasus

Easy

He doesnt do enough damage to kill you, even if he gets stacks, your sustain is just too good. You have the option of pulling the minion wave level 1 to get the minions pushing to your tower so that he is more prone to ganks. You should all in him whenever possible levels 3 and up

VS

Pantheon

Medium

Max E in this matchup. You can E him as well as the creep wave when he uses . This will block a huge portion of the damage. His refreshes his passive. If he uses this on you, or whenever his passive his up, be sure to auto reset your so that his passive will not absorb 1 of your procs

VS

Ryze

Hard

Pretty cancer matchup. You just cant get near him with his . Farm as much as you can. He should win this matchup

VS

Vladimir

Hard

You can go in for a cheese all in at level 3-4. Turn this into a farm lane if your cheese does not work as the Vladimir will kite you and you can't do anything about it. If he plays correctly you shouldn't be able to touch him. Just help out your team with objectives/fights.

VS

Wukong

Easy

You Can when he uses his as the clone does not count as a minion. You out-trade him, follow him while he is invis with your stormraiders to keep up

SHOUTOUTS! Back to Top

Hey Guys, I would just like to shout out a few people that helped make this guide possible.

They are: Tastypotatox/I Mordekaiser I -Tasty is what inspired me to play Mordekaiser and watching his games has improved me as a player. I would like to thank him for setting me onto this path, without him, I wouldn't be where I am today

(Former #1 Morde World)

Kaizer Morde -For mentoring me and teaching me about the champ, he is a high-elo Morde main who I respect.

(Some Kid, I Mean he's pretty cool...)

AP0CALYPSE -Because I used your build, thanks! hehe xd.

(Current #1 Morde World)

My Youtube :D/About Me!/Thank You! Back to Top

Here is a link to my first montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkc6EfVxYyE

I know the fps is kinda bad...I recorded on a mac and the fps dropped a lot :/ I am looking to improve on this. I did however spend a lot of time into make it as well as this guide, so a like and subscribe would mean the world to me, although your view is already more than I could ask for. If you enjoyed this guide, or If it has helped you in any way, feel free to like it and comment. I would also be glad to answer any questions down below.

About Me:

Hi Guys, My name is Dictator Vietnam or just Dictator for short. I am currently a Diamond IV Mordekaiser Main. I made this guide to the 3 people that are interested in this champion! Kappa. Currently, I am ranked 62nd Mordekaiser World, and 12th Mordekaiser in NA. A common question people ask is if I am Vietnamese. No! I am not! However, I am asian. I chose the name Dictator Vietnam as my friends started a "Dictator" thing. I just Dictator to join them and Vietnam as I visited the country a few years back and I enjoyed it. Another question I get asked a lot is "how much did it cost" and I am not even going to lie, it triggers me lol. I think that it triggers me is because this season I was placed bronze 5 and I ground my way through the ranks to where I am now. I spent so much time and effort. This is one of the reasons I wanted to make this guide, so that you guys dont have to go through what I did; learn from scratch. I Digress... anyways, in short no, I am not boosted, I climbed here legit and I am still trying to become the best I can be. Anyways, Thank you so much for putting up with me. Now go out and try Mordekaiser, because he is actually not as boring as most people think :P Have fun and good luck :)

Laning With Morde Back to Top

You are very weak pre-3 so just take XP and cs what you can with your E at a safe range. Be careful not to hit too many minions with your E as the wave will push and you will have to worry about ganks. You should play passive until level 3-4. This allows you to suprise people with your damage. Most people will not expect you to 100-0 them at such an early stage of the game.

Top:

Play safe till 3 or 4. You can try to bait them to fight you then all in them. You should be able to win almost every single melee matchup, with exception of a few champions. Once you win lane, ward and push, in most cases, you should be able to easily 1v2 their top laner and jungler if you already have a kill. You push quite fast considering you are mostly an AP based champion. Make sure to use TP to TP back to your lane or to help your team in a fight. Tping to dragon for the ghost is another possibility as you can seige a turret after.

Mid:

Most mages/ assasins can't get through your pass shield early on in the game. Many also find a hard time csing under tower early. If this is the case, you can push the lane with your W and auto attacks early ignoring their harass as you will regen your shield. At level 2 you do this with your E aswell. All you do is push lane. After you push your lane, you have about 40 seconds to choose from ganking a lane, helping your jungler in a skurmish, or just taking your junglers wraiths or wolves. If you get harassed a lot, once you put 2 ppoints in you W at level 4, you can heal up at wraiths or wolves. Make sure to help your jungler with dragon when you can!

Jungle:

Full clear your jungle, start top side and do every single camp, then the bot scuttle. As Mordekaiser has no mobility and cc, his ganks are quite poor. Your goal is to keep farming and out-level the enemy jungle through camps. If you think the enemy jungler will be at a certain lane, you can go there too as Mordekaiser is very good at counterganking. You should almost always come out on top if you countergank correctly.

Bot:

When going bot you should have a kill-lane support such as blitz. You don't play Mordekaiser to farm, you take Mordekaiser to cheese. If you do not kill them, the enemy adc will harass you with their range. You probably shouldnt play Mordekaiser bot if you have a soraka as your support. there is just no way for you to get onto their bot lane.play safe till level 3. You can all in then. If your blitz can land hooks, you shouldn't lose 2v2. Use Relic shield to sustain through poke and farm at a safe distance with your E. If you are on blue side, you can heal both you and your support on the Krugs with your W. This saves you time as you dont have to back.
